Abstract
AbstractThe use of eco-friendly methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles and its nano-composite has become a public demand nowadays to reduce the risks of chemical methods. In the current study, green synthesis of Cu-doped ZnO based polymers nan-ocomposite was performed. Various instrumental analysis including UV–vis, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, SEM coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, TEM and Thermal gravimetric were used to characterize nano-composite. Highly antibacterial activity of the synthesized nano-composite was recorded against tested microorganisms with promising efficacy against bacteria namely; Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and yeast (Candida albicans) but unfortunately not against black fungus (Mucor circinelloides) and filamentous fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. niger. Anti-inflammatory of nano-composite represented by hemolysis inhibition was observed at using low concentration (100 µg/mL) with enhancing 23.85% compared with free nano-composite while at high concentrations 500 and1000 µg/mL the anti-inflammatory activity was approximately similar with enhancing 3.91% and 1.99%, respectively. Antioxidant of the nano-composite was better than the antioxidant of free nano-composite at all tested concentrations, moreover the IC50 of the nano-composite (91.16 µg/mL) was less than the IC50, (203.65 µg/mL) of the free nano-composite.
