Antibacterial Additive for Polystyrene Based on Silver Nanoparticles Supported on Titanium Dioxide

<div>Phase histogram of PS sample containing Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles. Wide, bimodal histogram is observed for 100, 300, and 700 ppm of Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub>, showing the presence of PS and the additive. On the contrary, reference and the sample containing 500 ppm of Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub> produce a unimodal distribution indicating that the additive homogenously covers the PS surface.</div>
