Zero valent iron nanoparticles have an attracting and ever growing interest in various research fields due to the fascinating potential.Inthepresentwork,antimicrobialactivityofzerovalentironsupportedonsiliconcarbidenanoparticlesforthefirst time investigated. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy with X-ray microanalysis (SEMEDS), X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption isotherms, indicated that the zero-valentironwassuccessfullydepositedontothesiliconcarbidesurface.Anti-bacterialactivityagainsthumanpathogenic bacteria suggest strong practical applications of modified silicon carbide nano particles with other nano particles as a new antimicrobial agent due to their proper pore sizes, high specific areas, and high mechanical and chemical stabilities.
