Abstract

Electrically conductive polyorthochloroaniline/chromium nanocomposites (POC/Cr NCs) were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of orthochloroaniline in the presence of Cr nanoparticles (Cr NPs). The load percentage of Cr nanofiller was varied in POC matrix to investigate the effect of Cr nanoparticles on the properties of the nanocomposites. The composition, structure, and morphology of POC and its composites were examined by Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopic analysis. The antibacterial potential of POC and its composites was evaluated by the disc diffusion method against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The results showed the improved antibacterial potential with the increase in the load percentage of nanofiller. The electrical conductivity of polymer and its composites was measured and correlated with the load percentage. The results showed that electrical conductivity of the composites was enhanced with the increase in load percentage of Cr nanoparticles.

抗菌增强导电性聚邻氯苯胺/铬杂化复合材料的合成。

采用原位化学氧化聚合法制备了导电聚氯苯胺/铬纳米复合材料(POC/Cr nc)。通过在POC基体中加入不同比例的Cr纳米填料，研究了Cr纳米填料对复合材料性能的影响。采用扫描电镜、傅里叶变换红外光谱和紫外可见光谱分析对POC及其复合材料的组成、结构和形貌进行了表征。采用圆盘扩散法评价了POC及其复合材料对大肠杆菌和枯草芽孢杆菌的抑菌潜力。结果表明，随着纳米填料用量的增加，其抑菌潜力有所提高。测量了聚合物及其复合材料的电导率，并与负载百分比进行了相关性分析。结果表明，复合材料的电导率随着纳米铬负载量的增加而提高。
