The Film of Chitosan-ZnO Nanoparticles-CTAB: Synthesis, Characterization and In Vitro Study

Abstract

The casting method was used for the synthesis of film chitosan-ZnO nanoparticles-CTAB. The Analysis of the functional groups of film chitosan-ZnO nanoparticles-CTAB with FTIR spectroscopy and its physical structure with X-ray diffraction. The method of agar disk diffusion was used to this film for study as an antibacterial of Staphylococcus aureus. The functional groups of Zn-O at the film of chitosan-ZnO nanoparticles-CTAB were detected at wavenumber between 578-619 cm−1 . The band at 2852.72-2854.65 cm−1 is the band of C-H groups in the film of chitosan-ZnO nanoparticles-CTAB. The influence of ZnO nanoparticles-CTAB changed the physical structure of chitosan. The inhibition zone in the film of chitosan-ZnO nanoparticles-CTAB I, II, and III was 10.37±0.55, 11.31±1.27, and 10.38±0.24 mm respectively.
