Abstract:Ag/CNC composites were successfully synthesized using an environment-friendly polymer mate-rial of CNC (cellulose nanocrystals) as the carrier in aqueous solution .The results showed that nano-silver could be deposited on the CNC under the power of ultrasound .The CNC could obviously prevent the silver nanoparticles agglomeration ,and the Ag/CNC composites had good solubility in water .Uniform silver nanoparticles deposited on the CNC with ultrasonic reaction of 60 min were observed by TEM .And the silver nanoparticles had size of 30~50 nm ,spherical structure ,uniform size ,good dispersion and uniform surface coverage .Further investigating of the composites characteristics ,it indicated that the composites had excellent antibacterial properties .
