Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Polyacetal/ Chitosan Nano Particles Polymer Blend
Keywords:
PVA, nano chitosan, polyacetal, polymer blend, antimicrobial polymerAbstract
Polyacetal was synthesized from the reaction of PVA with p-bromobenzaldehyde. Polymer blend with Nano Chitosan was prepared through the technique of solution casting method. All prepared compounds have been characterized through FT-IR, DSC-TGA, SEM, as well as the Biological activity. The FT-IR results indicates the formation of polyacetal. The DSC results indicates the thermal stability regarding prepared polymer blends. Antibacterial potential related to synthesized polyacetal and Nano chitosan blend against four types of bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureas, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli were examined and evaluated. The results reveal that the prepared polymer blends have good antibacterial activity against all kinds of bacteria.
