Abstract

Homo and copolymers of monomers 2-(N-phthalimido) ethylmethacrylate (NPEMA) and 4-Chloro-3-methyl phenyl methacrylate (CMPMA) were prepared in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution at 70 °C using 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. The solution of poly(NPEMA-co.-CMPMA) in 20 % DMF was used to fabrication electrospun nanofiber by electrospinning technique. IR data were primarily employed to characterize polymers. The formation of nanofibers was identified by SEM study. The metal ion uptake capacity of copolymers and nanofibers were obtain by batch equilibrium method using different metal ion solution. The antimicrobial activity of the copolymers, Polymer nanocomposites and their nanofibers were tested against different microbial organisms by using quantitative method. The main objective of this investigation was to find whether nanofiber are better remover of metal ions compared to copolymers. It was also aimed to study the efficacy of nanofibers of copolymers and copolymer composite with nano Ag as water sanitizer.
