Abstract

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles in their pure phase are carefully and homogenously decorated by a facile approach on oxygen-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) using magnesium nitrate. Magnesium oxide nanocrystals imbued on O-MWCNTs were examined for its structure and morphology by various techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The nanocrystals on the O-MWCNTs were determined to be 20–25 nm size. Magnesium oxide nanocrystal’s dislocation density and microstrain are calculated. Thermogravimetric measurements are studied for the weight loss. The antibacterial studies are performed against a set of bacterial strains. It has shown its antibacterial properties on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains.
