Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods have been grown on different substrates, i.e. gold film-coated BK-7 glass (Au-film/BK7), microscope glass slide (MGS), silicon oxide film-coated silicon (SiO2-film/Si), to investigate the effects of different substrates on its material properties. The growth process was started by dipping substrates in zinc acetate solution to fabricate a seed layer, followed by growing the ZnO nanorods in zinc nitrate tetrahydrate solution based on hydrothermal method at 95 °C for 6 hour. In this process, seed layer and ZnO nanorods were annealed at 350 °C for 2 hours. The characterization results using X-ray diffraction and field effect scanning electron microscope showed that ZnO nanorods were successfully grown homogenously and mostly in vertical direction with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The diameter size of ZnO nanorods was significantly influenced by the type of material substrate. ZnO nanorods on Au-film/BK-7 glass have the smallest diameter size of (239±51) nm, while the average diameter size of ZnO nanorods on MGS is of (269±53) nm and ZnO nanorods on SiO2-film/Si have the largest diameter size of (354±80) nm. The effect of substrates on different size of ZnO nanorods may be regarded to the intrinsic thermal conductivity of substrate material. Hence, the synthesis and growth parameters for the different substrates differ from each other and need to be optimized in order to grow ZnO nanostructures

Silver (Ag) has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and is widely used in various fields, including in antibacterial coatings for orthopedic implants. For reasons of cost and cytotoxicity, improvement of the antibacterial efficiency of Ag is necessary. The scientific community has also shown a strong enthusiasm in this research area. In this paper, ZnO nanorod arrays were prepared on a titanium (Ti) substrate by seed-assisted hydrothermal method and Ag nanoparticles were deposited by magnetron sputtering to obtain Ag nanoparticle-decorated ZnO nanorod arrays (ZnO nanorods/Ag nanoparticles). The antibacterial properties of ZnO nanorods/Ag nanoparticles against Pseudomonas aeruginosa were systematically studied by agar diffusion method and were compared with other samples such as ZnO nanorod arrays and ZnO seed layer/Ag nanoparticles. The experimental results showed that ZnO nanorods/Ag nanoparticles displayed significantly higher antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa than other samples, including ZnO nanorod arrays and ZnO seed layer/Ag nanoparticles. These superior antibacterial properties originated predominantly from the morphological structure of ZnO nanorods, which optimized the particle size and distribution of Ag nanoparticles, greatly improving their antimicrobial efficiency. The synergistic antibacterial properties of Ag nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods make Ag nanoparticle-decorated ZnO nanorod arrays a promising candidate for antibacterial coating of orthopedic implants.
