Abstract:In this study, five compounds belonging to the Polymer composites (PCs) family, have been prepared with different amounts of polyacrylonitrile and polyindole in the composite. The PCs have inherently bactericidal activity, owing to the nitrile and indole groups. Antioxidant activity was assessed by using reducing power activity, superoxide radical scavenging activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. In our study, butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), ascorbic acid and α‐tocopherol, which are considered syn… Show more
