Preparation and characterization of antibacterial cobalt-exchanged natural zeolite/poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels

Abstract: In the present study, potential application of the local clinoptilolite-rich natural zeolite in formulation of antibacterial hydrogels was investigated. The zeolite powder exchanged with cobalt(II) ions was used in preparation of the zeolite/poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel films in different amounts. The films were physically crosslinked by the freezing-thawing method and characterized for their crystallinity, surface and cross sectional morphology, chemical composition, thermal behaviour, mechanical properties, … Show more

“…Apart from these commonly used metal nanoparticles, the antibacterial cobalt‐exchanged natural zeolite (ZEO)/PVA hydrogels were proved to possess antibacterial activity against E. coli . ZEO/PVA hydrogel with 0.48 wt% and higher cobalt‐exchanged ZEO contents showed efficient antibacterial activities against G− bacteria (i.e., E. coli and S. aureus ).…”

“…31 Apart from these commonly used metal nanoparticles, cytocompatible nickel nanoparticle-loaded chitin hydrogels were developed against S. aureus, 110 and antibacterial cobalt-exchanged natural zeolite/PVA hydrogel was proved to have antibacterial activity against E. coli. 111 Although copper-containing NPs (Cu NPs/CuO NPs) have weaker antibacterial effects than Ag NPs, they have a greater range of microbicidal activities against both fungi, especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and bacteria, including E. coli, S. aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. [112][113][114] CMC/ CuO nanocomposite hydrogels and CS hydrogel loaded with copper particles demonstrated excellent antibacterial effects against E. coli and S. aureus without causing any toxicity in recent studies.…”
