PVC/COPPER OXIDE COMPOSITES AND THEIR EFFECT ON BACTERIAL ADHERENCE

In this work, PVC/CuO and PVC/Cu2O composites were prepared by melt-blending method. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - X ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) Cu-mapping showed that the composites are a hybrid of the polymer and the copper oxide particles, and these particles we...

description	In this work, PVC/CuO and PVC/Cu2O composites were prepared by melt-blending method. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - X ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) Cu-mapping showed that the composites are a hybrid of the polymer and the copper oxide particles, and these particles were distributed uniformly in the polymer matrix. The adherence of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 on the surface of composite materials was assessed through the inventory of adhered viable cells and SEM analysis. In PVC/copper oxide composite, the number of adhered bacterial cells was reduced by almost 2 units log10 with regard to those adhere to the pure PVC polymer.
