Abstract:The research aimed to develop composite materials based on waste cooking oil containing thymol or salicylic acid and assess their antimicrobial properties against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria strains. The study also investigated whether the use of a binder, such as catalyzed waste cooking oil, and the performing of annealing process would affect the antimicrobial effectiveness of the natural additive. The composite materials were characterized using FT–IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
