Polymer Blend Containing MoO3 Nanowires with Antibacterial Activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228
Abstract
<jats:p>Antibacterial activity of a polymer nanocomposite containing water-soluble poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), water insoluble poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), and MoO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> nanowires or MoO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> microparticles as antibacterial active substances is reported. The UV-vis absorption method was used for the illumination of dissolving of the MoO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> particles of different size and morphology in water. Dissolving of MoO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> nanowires (1 mg ml<jats:sup>-1</jats:sup>) decreases pH bellow 3.6 in only 3 min and below 3 in 15 min, while dissolving of the PEO/PVDF-HFP/MoO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> nanowires coating (5 mg ml<jats:sup>-1</jats:sup>) decreases pH bellow 3.6 in 90 min. These coatings completely destroy the <jats:italic>Staphylococcus epidermidis</jats:italic> ATCC 12228 bacterial strain within 3 h. The proposed applications are antibacterial protective coatings of contact surfaces.</jats:p>
