摘要: Abstract TiO2 incorporation into an isotactic polypropylene (iPP) polymeric matrix was achieved via a straightforward and cost-effective melting process using laboratory-made nanometric anatase-TiO2 industrial polymer. The structural characteristics of the resulting nanocomposite thin films as function inorganic component content were examined wide small angle X-ray scattering (WAXS/SAXS) vibrational Raman spectroscopy. Electron scanning transmission microscopy (SEM/TEM) studies also performed to provide evidence dispersion oxide within polymer matrix, showing presence average aggregates ca. 80 nm. iPP renders self-sterilized upon light excitation, activity which tested against Gram negative (P. aeruginosa) positive (E. faecalis) bacteria. displays maximum for sample containing 2 wt.% irrespective microorganism nature. antimicrobial is significantly enhanced with respect that alone. This key fact interpreted on physical basis help complete optical (UV–vis photoluminescence) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) characterization.
