Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Immobilized with Sugar-Containing Poly(ionic liquid) Brushes for Efficient Trapping and Killing of Bacteria

Abstract

), up to 100% sterilization efficiency. The nanocomposites could be facilely recovered under external magnetic field, and a high sterilization efficiency of 94% could be retained during a five-circulation use. Such hybrid nanocomposites are highly efficient, expediently recyclable, and low-cytotoxicity disinfectant agents and may have potential application for water disinfection treatment.
