Abstract
A novel nano composite, Guar-gum functionalized 2D-MoS2-Ag, was synthesized through a facile green synthesis method with in situ UV light irradiation method using varying concentrations of silver nitrate. This environmentally friendly approach aimed to integrate silver nanoparticles into the MoS2 matrix. The synthesized nanocomposites was characterized using several techniques Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed functionalization, UV visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis) revealed optical properties, and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provide insights into its morphology. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) confirmed the crystalline structure of the composites.
The antibacterial properties of synthesized nano composites was evaluated using the spread plate method against gram positive Staphylococcus Aureus (SA), Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and gram negative Escherichia Coli (E-Coli). The results demonstrated significant antibacterial activity, with decreased bacterial proliferation and colony forming abilities in concentration dependent manner. The enhanced performance was attributed to the synergistic effects of silver nanoparticles, which exhibit dual mechanisms by releasing silver ions and direct interaction with bacterial cell membranes. This study suggests that the Guar-gum functionalized 2D-MoS2 (GG-Gel-MoS2-Ag-1.0) is a promising antibacterial material with potential applications in medical and environmental fields.
