Superior Antibacterial Potency of Coated PP Mats with Lipid/CMC/Ag Nanocomposite as a Modern Wound Dressing

The management of difficult to heal wounds can considerably reduce the time required for tissue repairingand promote the healing process, minimizing the risk of infection. In this study, polypropylene (PP) mat treated withlipid/CMC/Ag nanocomposite for achieving modern wound dressing properties. Samples were impregnated withlipid/CMC/Ag nanocomposite by the dip, dry, and cure method. Samples were characterized by scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), their water absorbency ability and antibacterial activitydetermined. The results show that coated PP mats with lipid/CMC/Ag nanocomposite has decreased water absorbency(59%). Furthermore, their antibacterial efficiency was 100% for Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and 100% for Staphylococcusaureus (S. aureus).
