The antimicrobial potential of the synthesized ternary nanochitosan (NCS)/sodium alginate (SA)/microcrystalline cellulose (MC) (extracted from banana fiber) film in 4:16:1 ratio against Bascillus subtilis and E. coli are reported here. Initially the present work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of ternary nanochitosan (NCS)/sodium alginate (SA)/microcrystalline cellulose (MC) (extracted from banana fiber) film. The prepared NCS/SA/MC film sample was then characterized using advanced analytical techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, TGA, DSC and SEM studies. The obtained results of FT-IR studies clearly indicate that the nanochitosan gets effectively binded with the sodium alginate and the microcrystalline cellulose in the film form. The change in crystallinity and the increased thermal behavior was elucidated from XRD and TGA analysis respectively. The scanning electron microscop.. View More»
