Abstract:
The present study reports some preliminary investigations on the antibacterial activity of nanostructured poly(1-naphthylamine) (PNA) and its composites with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinylchloride (PVC). The antibacterial activity was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The particle size and morphology of PNA and its composites was found to play a significant role in deciding the antimicrobial efficiency. A mechanism of antimicrobial activity has been suggested.
