Hierarchical wrinkled mesoporous silica nanoparticles (WMS NPs) bedecked with diverse functionality density of amino groups (WMSs-N2, WMSs-NN and WMSs-NNN) were first synthesized via typical Sol-Gel method, and then utilized for the in situ reduction of nanosilver with sodium borohydride. Elegantly distributed Ag NPs ( ca. 7-10 nm, 3-5 nm) on WMSs-N2 and WMSs-NN without any agglomeration were obtained respectively, while Ag NPs ( ca. 50 nm) dispersed on WMSs-NNN were obviously larger and slightly agglomerated. Compared to pure Ag NPs, all the obtained Ag@WMSs composites were durable and displayed much better antibacterial performance, with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 12-80 mg L -1 and a minimal bactericidal concentration of 24-108 mg L -1 , respectively. Moreover, it was found that the functionality density of amino groups and the specific surface area of WMSs played a crucial role for the antibacterial performance of the obtained nanocomposites. Because WMSs-NN had higher specific surface area and surface amino density than WMSs-N2, the size and dispersion of Ag NPs on WMSs-NN were smaller and superior to those of Ag NPs on WMSs-N2, respectively. Accordingly, Ag@WMSs-NN displayed a better antibacterial capacity than Ag@WMSs-N2. As for Ag@WMSs-NNN, owing to the high loading content of Ag NPs, they exhibited the best antibacterial and bactericidal properties.
