Abstract: | Chitosan hybrid membranes were prepared in the presence of polyethylacrylate and polybutylacrylate and characterized by measuring
stress, strain, Young’s modulus, swelling behavior and antibacterial properties against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria
using IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the mechanical properties of the hybrid
membranes were enhanced using polybutylacrylate. SEM images showed homogeneity of the prepared membranes. The swelling degree
was of the order chitosan > chitosan/polyethylacrylate > chitosan/polybutylacrylate. Antibacterial properties of the hybrid
membranes with polybutylacrylate and polyethylacrylate were higher than those of chitosan membranes without any additives. |
