Antifungal Activity of Submicrometer Particles of Complex Metal Oxides with Photocatalytic Activity
摘要
Antifungal activity of newly synthesized submicrometer particles of the CsTeMoO6 complex metal oxide was studied. They were found to inhibit spore germination of active micromycete degraders of industrial materials both in the dark and under illumination. Illumination increased the fungicidal activity of the studied compounds due to their photocatalytic activity. This is the first report on production of micromycete-resistant composites of a number of polymers containing the complex metal oxides CsTeMoO6 and RbTe1.5W0.5O6. Upon addition of the studied complex oxides into the composition of the previously micromycete-sensitive materials, the latter were found to exhibit micromycete resistance both in the dark and under illumination. Treatment with light resulted in a more pronounced antifungal effect.
