Fabrication of new antimicrobial cellulose triacetate packaging membranes is the main focus of the present study. The integration of 2-aryl substituted benzothiazoles in a polymeric matrix of cellulose triacetate is used to fabricate these membranes. FT-IR and SEM are used to characterize these membranes. When assessed against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the modified packaging membranes demonstrated positive antimicrobial activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
