Abstract

Electron beam irradiation was applied to prepare poly (vinyl alcohol) and poly (acrylic acid) P (PVA/AAc) containing nickel and silver nanoparticles. The prepared P (PVA/AAc)–Ni and P (PVA/AAc)–Ag nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared, UV–Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The electrical conductivity and thermal gravimetrical analysis (TGA) have been investigated. Bacterial sensitivity toward nickel and silver nanoparticles was studied. The XRD and TEM confirmed that by increasing the Ni or Ag contents from 10 to 150 mmol in the copolymers, the metal particle size increases from 27.6 to 45.6 nm for Ni and from 14.8 to 37.4 nm for Ag. Meanwhile, the mean size particle increases from 33.02 to 45.05 nm for Ni and from 15.5 to 44.03 nm for Ag. The electrical conductivity of the polymer containing Ag is higher than that of Ni and it increased by increasing the metal content. The TGA studies confirmed that, the thermal stability increase by the introduction of metal into polymeric complex. Bacterial sensitivity to metal nanoparticles was found to vary depending on the microbial species. Disc diffusion studies with P. aeruginosa, E. coli and K. pneumoniae revealed greater effectiveness of the silver nanoparticles compared to the nickel nanoparticles, S. aureus depicted the highest sensitivity to nanoparticles compared to the other strains and was more adversely affected by the nickel nanoparticles.
