Formation of copper nanoparticles with hyperbranched polyesterpolyols as template

Abstract

New composite copper nanoparticles stabilized by hyperbranched polyesterpolyols of the second, third, and forth generations have been prepared via chemical reduction at different molar ratios of the precursors. The prepared stabilized copper nanoparticles have exhibited fungicide activity against Penicillium funiculosum, Penicillium ochro chloron, Paecilomyces variotii, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, and Aspergillus terreus strains. Copper nanoparticles stabilized by hyperbranched polyesterpolyols of the second and forth generations are hemocompatible.
