Abstract
Certain materials can adsorb microbes but quickly become saturated, after which no further microbial adsorption can occur. Moreover, these adsorbed microbes will reproduce at a high rate and return to the environment. The application of adsorption and antibacterial materials represents a new development in air quality improvement. In this study, composite materials, which were prepared by adding an antibacterial material to an adsorbing material, performed the functions of both types of materials. The device based on the composite materials actively adsorbed and killed airborne microbes. This material will be helpful in the sterilization and improvement of the environment. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
