Features: Nano-antibacterial materials are a new generation of functional materials that emerged in the 1990s and rapidly developed internationally, capable of autonomously inhibiting or killing microorganisms on their surfaces. In recent years, they have been widely applied in various fields such as healthcare, construction materials, communications, household goods, home appliances, food packaging, and architecture. The author of this book has collected a large amount of latest domestic and international data, providing a comprehensive introduction to the antibacterial principles, research methods, product performance, development status, market prospects, classification, characteristics, manufacturing methods, evaluation methods of antibacterial performance, applications, and case studies of various inorganic nano-antibacterial materials. It also specially introduces the research and development of new-generation inorganic nano-antibacterial materials in recent years. The book consists of 11 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the industrial development status and trends of domestic nano-antibacterial materials. Chapter 2 covers the characteristics and antibacterial principles of nano-antibacterial agents. Chapter 3 discusses nano-antibacterial and food antibacterial materials. Chapters 4 to 8 respectively introduce the antibacterial principles, biological functions, processing methods, application fields, and development prospects of nano-antibacterial fine ceramic materials, nano-antibacterial textile fiber materials, nano-antibacterial biomedical materials, nano-metal antibacterial materials, and nano-antibacterial engineering plastic materials. Chapters 9 and 10 cover the applications and development prospects of nano-antibacterial coatings and antibacterial decorative materials, as well as nano-antibacterial environmental separation materials—inorganic membranes. Chapter 11 introduces the evaluation methods and standards for nano-antibacterial materials. This book is suitable for scientists, engineers, production and management personnel engaged in the research, development, production, and application of antibacterial and functional materials, as well as faculty and students of relevant majors in colleges and universities for reference.
