Abstract:In the present study, the prepared bio-composite materials based on flax fibers containing caffeine or nano-copper (Cu) or corundum (Al2O3) as a potential biocidal substance were prepared and tested on their toxicity. Two viability tests were performed. Firstly, the screening test based on colouring by Methyl-blue was applied on yeast cells of strain Saccharomyces cerevisae. The number of cells density was observed under microscope and Methyl-blue was then added. Part of the cells coloured in blue and it indic… Show more
