Abstract
At present research, we highlight ultrasonic treatment as a new way to create materials with a gradient change of chemical or physical properties. We demonstrate the possibility to fabricate novel materials with biocide activity based on simple and cheap Cu-Zn alloy. In this research, we propose a green preparative technique for the sonication of an alloy in an alkali solution. The method leads to a significant visual change and differentiation of particles into three different fractions. Due to the chemical micro gradients in media near the solid surface under intensive sonication, fast formation of specific functional groups occurs on the particles’ surface. The particles were studied X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) analysis, the field-emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mode, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), the differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) technique. A strong correlation of both methods proves a redistribution of copper ions from Fraction I to Fraction III that influence for the antibacterial properties of the prepared material. The different biocidal activity was demonstrated for each separated Fraction that could be related to their different phase content and ability to release the different types of ions.
