Preparation and Characterization of the Novels Terpolymers of Poly-{trans-[RuCl2(vpy)4]-styrenedivinylbenzene} and Styrene-divinylbenzene-vinylpiridine impregnated with Silver Nanoparticles


Summary

This paper reports the preparation and characterization of poly-{trans-[RuCl2(vpy)4]-styrene–divinylbenzene} and styrene-divinylbenzene-vinylpiridine filled with nanosilver. Theses materials were synthesized by non aqueous polymerization through a chemical reaction using benzoyl peroxide as the initiator. The nanosilver was obtained from chemical reduction using NaBH4 as reducing agent and sodium citrate as stabilizer. The nanometric dimension of nanosilver was monitored by UV–visible and confirmed through TEM. The morphology was characterized by SEM and the thermal properties were done by TGA and DSC. The antimicrobial action of the polymers impregnated with nanosilver was evaluated using both microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The antimicrobial activity of the poly-{trans-[RuCl2(vpy)4]-styrene–divinylbenzene} filled with nanosilver was confirmed by the presence of an inhibition halo of the bacterial growth in seeded culture media, but was not confirmed to the styrene-divinylbenzene-vinylpiridine. The present work suggest that trans - [RuCl2(vpy)4] complex facilitate the release of silver ion from the media.
