Nanocomposites based on low density polyethylene filled with carbon nanotubes prepared by high energy ball milling and their potential antibacterial activity

Abstract: Low density polyethylene (LDPE) based nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by a two-step process consisting of a pre-mixture using high energy ball milling (HEBM) and subsequent hot pressing. The effects of ball milling and the presence of the MWCNTs on some physical properties of the materials and the antimicrobial efficiency against DH5 Escherichia coli were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the polymer structure did not change in the fin… Show more

“…In a recent review, the different antibacterial properties of carbon nanomaterials are discussed [ 75 ]. Additionally, in a recent study on low density polyethylene, LDPE, filled with MWCNTs [ 76 ], a correlation between hydrophobicity, biofilm development and the shape and size of DH5α E. Coli was observed, indicating that the presence of MWCNTs leads to an antibacterial effect by decreasing cells adhesion and changing their metabolism.…”

“…The nanocomposite also exhibited remarkable thermo-mechanical and antibacterial properties. Benigno et al, developed the low-density poly(ethylene) (LDPE)/MWCNTs nanocomposites and monitored antimicrobial activity against DH5α E. coli [119]. A significant enhancement in the antibacterial potential was observed in 1% MWCNTs-added LDPE film.…”
