Abstract
The present project aims to synthesize silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) andfunctionalize their surface with different chemical groups (mercapto, glycidyl,isocyanate, phenylethyl and amino) based on the objective of understanding how thedifferent functional groups favor the interaction of nanoparticles with the envelope ofdifferent bacteria. The functionalization of SiO2NPs with different fu…
