Silver-Decorated Cobalt Nanocomposite Antibacterial Activity Data

Zakia Kanwal's 2020 Dryad dataset documents the synthesis and characterization of cobalt-core nanocomposites decorated with silver nanoparticles (Co@AgNPs). It includes experimental results on their density-dependent antibacterial performance against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The dataset contains measurements from a two-step polyol synthesis process with varied silver content (0.01 g, 0.1 g, 0.2 g).

Use Cases

• Model the relationship between AgNPs density and bactericidal efficacy against E. coli and B. subtilis.
• Analyze the correlation between silver content (0.01-0.2 g) and particle size characteristics (30-80 nm AgNPs, 200 nm+ Co-cores).
• Investigate the biocompatibility results showing high MCF7 cell viability at low particle concentrations.
• Validate the metallic nature and face-centred cubic crystalline phase confirmed by x-ray diffraction data.

Strengths

• Experimental data includes three distinct AgNPs density levels (0.01 g, 0.1 g, 0.2 g silver content).
• Characterization includes specific size ranges for AgNPs (30-80 nm) and Co-cores (200 nm to >1 micron).
• Antibacterial performance is tested against two distinct bacterial species: Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of experimental replicates are not specified.
• Dataset is static with no updates since its 2020 publication.
• Raw measurement files, column definitions, and detailed protocols are unavailable.
