| 2 | Modification of tamarind fruit shell powder with in situ generated copper nanoparticles by single step hydrothermal method显示文摘Tamarind fruit shell powder(TFSP)with particle size of<50μm(obtained from cleaned tamarind fruit shells)was modified with in situ generated copper nanoparticles(CuNPs)by simple one step hydrothermal method.The modified TFSP was characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM),Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR)spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction(XRD),thermogravi-metric analysis(TGA)and antibacterial tests.The generated stable CuNPs on the surface of the modified TFSP were spherical in shape with an average size of 88 nm.The FT-IR spectroscopy analysis indicated the involvement of the functional groups of the TFSP in the generation and stabilization of the CuNPs.The XRD analysis indicated the presence of both CuNPs and Cu 2 O nanoparticles in the modified TFSP.The thermal analysis indicated the presence of 5.6 wt%of copper nanoparticles as calculated from the difference of residual char content between the un-modified and modified TFSP.The modified TFSP with in situ generated CuNPs exhibited obvious antibacterial activity against both the Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria and hence can be considered as low cost filler in the preparation of antibacterial polymer hybrid nanocomposites for packaging and medical applications. | B.Ashok N.Hariram Suchart Siengchin A.Varada Rajulu | 2020 | Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts2020，5，3： | 0 |
