Abstract

Antibacterial products have paid much more attraction all over global world. In this study, a novel and economical rout has been studied for antibacterial product, ultrafine nylon-6 (NY-6 NFS) nanofibers impregnated into garlic sour was synthesized by electrospinning method. The morphology of impregnated nanofiber mats was characterized by electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the chemical interaction of Nylon-6 nanofiber mats and garlic sour. The antibacterial activities of impregnated garlic sour samples G-1, G-2 and G-3 were evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by using disc diffusion method. It was found that the garlic sour has played a vital role for antibacterial activity. The nanofiber mats impregnated into garlic sour showed excellent antibacterial activity. It was observed that the antimicrobial effect for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was more than 99 %. The excellent hydrophobic property which revealed water contact angle was examined with dropping method and TGA were examined excellent thermal degradation rate of NY-6 NFS and impregnated garlic sour samples. NY-6 NFS showed good mechanical strength according to ASTM D-638 standard. The obtained results indicate that the NY-6 NFS impregnated in garlic sour is a promising antibacterial product that can be utilized as antibacterial wound dressing.
