MAGNESIUM OXIDE NANO-PARTICLES & AMOXICILLIN INCORPORATED POLY-VINYL ALCOHOL/CARBOXYL METHYLCELLULOSE COMPOSITE FILM FOR ANTI-BACTERIAL ACTIVITY Authors: Ahuja S , PATEL V AND PATEL N
ABSTRACT
In this work Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC)/Copolymer Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA)/
Magnesium-Oxide (Mgo) nanoparticle is used to perform antibacterial activity. PVA/CMC films are
made with varying polymer ratios and is linked to glutaraldehyde and amoxicillin. The polymer film
is shown using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Nano-sizer test, X-
ray diffraction (XRD). The composite film was reviewed by Water sorption, swelling behaviour.
Finally, the antimicrobial activity of this CMC / PVA / MgO Nano-composite has been tested against
bacteria.
