| Abstract | ||
| Several polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/ gelatin nano-copper oxide (nano-CuO) films were prepared by a solution casting method. Changes in the structural properties, with two different irradiation doses were subsequentlyinvestigated using TEM, SEM and FTIR. The FTIR spectrum and SEM shows a strong chemical interactionbetween PVA/ gelatin and nano-copper oxide (nano-CuO) with the formation of new peaks. Moreover, theresults indicated that an intermolecular hydrogen bond and a chemical bond Cu- O-Cu were formed in thenano-CuO and PVA/ gelatin. Results showed that all the tested synthesized films have a significant growthinhibition of both Gram positive and negative bacteria and fungi. | ||
