Is it possible that nanoparticles can have varied antifungal properties in liquid and solid media? Is the interaction more in the liquid media and hence the greater activity?
Yes, it's possible. More likely, absolutely certain that they'll be different. Diffusion coefficients are totally different in liquid and solid.
Yes, the anti-fungal activity of the particles in liquid media, where they are freely move and interact with the fungi, is expected to be higher that in the solid media.
However, in addition to the diffusion coefficients, mentioned by Alan, there are another factors that affect the interaction, because the interaction is a system property and not a material property. These includes:
1- the surface area.
2- the surface charge.
3- the surface energy.
4- the surface polarity.
Да,несомненно.Экспериментальные исследования по наномодифицированию строительных материалов показали большую активность наночастиц в жидких средах.
