Abstract

The morphology, structural organization, and thermomechanical and antimicrobial properties of nanocomposites prepared involving a natural and synthetic polymers – pectin, polyethyleneimine, and Cu/Cu2O or Cu nanoparticles – obtained by the chemical and thermal reduction of copper ions in the interpolyelectrolyte–metal complexes have been investigated. Such type of nanocomposites with Cu/Cu2O core–shell nanoparticles incorporated into polymer matrix is obtained due to the chemical reduction of Cu2+ ions by NaBH4 in the interpolyelectrolyte complex, and appearance of the copper’s metallic phase is observed in full extent while BH4 −: Cu2+molar ratio being equal to 6.0. Applying thermomechanical analysis, it was observed that transformation of interpolyelectrolyte–metal complexes into nanocomposites results in decreasing of their glass-transition temperature. It is defined that Cu2+ ions thermal reduction in interpolyelectrolyte–metal complexes bulk (while films are heated to the optimal temperature around 170 °С) results in nanocomposites based on interpolyelectrolyte complexes “pectin–polyethyleneimine” and Cu nanoparticles being formed. It has been shown by thermomechanical analysis that the optimal time for complete thermal reduction of Cu2+ ions to metallic copper at T = 170 °С is 30 min. The antimicrobial investigations of the elaborated nanocomposites revealed they possess a high antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli strains.
