Abstract

Some coated nanocomposites containing ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared and the antibacterial activity of nanocomposites was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aurous Nanocomposites were coated by polyamide coating solution. Nano ZnO and nano TiO2 were dispersed using a fixed power sonicator. Polypropylene surface was modified by a corona discharge method. To study the antibacterial effect of the prepared nanocomposites, a film contact method was performed and antibacterial property of the nanocomposites was estimated by dilution method. Coated nanocomposites exhibited excellent antibacterial activity in each of three antibacterial tests.
