Germicidal Activity on Leather Fabrics by Aluminium Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Characterization

Abstract

Background Au NPs, or metal aluminium oxide nanoparticles, were created on leather textiles on-site. Several instrumental methods were employed, such as FTIR, HR-TEM, XRD, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Using disc diffusion against bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia, the antibacterial activity of aluminium oxide nanoparticles was investigated. Objective This work should create new opportunities for innovation in the leather industries since it provides a first step toward the bio-functionalization and colouring of different leather fabrics using green technologies. Methods X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and characterization: Scanning electron microscope (SEM)Aluminium oxide nanoparticles' biological activity and the antibacterial properties of leather materials using al2O3 nanoparticles Results Because of its potent antibacterial properties, aluminium oxide nanoparticle production is a rapidly developing technique in nanotechnology. X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and a UV-visible spectrophotometer were used to characterize the produced aluminium oxide nanoparticle. The FTIR and XRD measurements demonstrated good peak results because aluminium oxide has good structural characteristics. Using disc diffusion against bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia, the antibacterial activity of aluminium oxide nanoparticles was investigated. Aeruginosa exhibited a higher activity of 13mm in comparison to the other strains, although all three species demonstrated good activity for the Al2O3 included leather. SEM was used to further analyse the leather textiles that contained Al2O3. The amount of Al2O3 NPs that have been deposited on leather material has produced great results for leather fabrics that have been dipped. Conclusion Sol-gel synthesis of alumina nanoparticles has been achieved with success. Al2O3 nanoparticles' antibacterial activity against three strains was demonstrated to be effective. The multifunctional qualities of leather were enhanced by applying her synthesized Al2O3 NPs to leather textiles. An immersion method was used to deposit Al2O3 on leather textiles. Adsorbed on the leather fabric's surface, the nanoparticles were uniformly bonded to the coated leather fabric's surface.
