Antibacterial polypropylene/Ag-kaolinite, preparation and characterization
Original language description
Two types of kaolinites modified by formamide, ammonium bromide, vinylacetate (followed by polymerization insitu) and then treated with silver nitrate solution. Mixtures of polypropylene with silver/kaolinite (AgK) nanofillers, prepared by melt compounding technique and pressed into thin plates. Structure properties of prepared powder AgK materials and PP/AgK composites were studied using X-ray diffraction methods, scanning electron microscopy and the specific surface area measurement. Antibacterial properties of PP/AgK composites were tested on two different bacterial strains: Gram-positive, Enterococcus faecalis and Gram-negative, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Surfaces of PP/AgK composites showed good antibacterial effect against both tested bacteria. The results showed improving effect to inhibit the bacterial growth with increasing content of AgK nanofillers in PP.
