Resumen:
Microorganisms under appropriate conditions attach and grow on materials developing biofilms and carrying out the corresponding bio-deterioration. Fabric microbial bio-deterioration is considered hazardous to human health, especially in healthcare centers where acquired infections are one of the leading causes of death. The increase in volume of urban waste, the simultaneous decline in available spaces and all the problems associated with pollution involved, are considered great importance issues. Therefore, it is very important that wastematerials can be reused, for example, reuse the materials contained in batteries as carbon mixed with other oxides1. The purpose of this research was to obtain siliceous matrix doped with carbon (C) from waste batteries, functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), and impregnated with silver nitrate to evaluate their antimicrobial activity.
