Antibacterial Activity of Biopolymer Blend- Carbide Nanoparticles Bio-Films against Escherichia Coli

Abstract

Bionanocomposites of (polyvinyl alcohol-poly-acrylic acid) blend/ niobium carbide nanoparticles have been prepared with low cost and lightweight. The (PVA-PAA-NbC) nanocomposites have been prepared by using casting technique. Films of (PVA-PAA-NbC) nanocomposites were fabricated for antibacterial activity. The (PVA-PAA-NbC) nanocomposites were examined for antibacterial against Escherichia coli (E. coli). The results of application showed that the (PVA-PAA-NbC) nanocomposites have high activity for antibacterial Escherichia coli.
