Abstract

In this research, the dependence of CuFe2O4 particle size on the antibacterial properties was investigated. The morphology of the particles was controlled in the presence or lack of sucrose as a novel capping agent. Antibacterial properties of the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were evaluated using the PVDF or silicon rubber matrices. The crystalline structures of the CuFe2O4 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The prepared nanostructures were more dissected using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Eventually, the copper ferrite particle size effect in PVDF and silicone rubber matrices on the antibacterial activity was investigated. The obtained results revealed significant antibacterial properties for the particles. It was found that decreasing particle size would improve antibacterial properties within both polymeric mediums. This research presents novel separable antibacterial magnetic nanostructure suspended in novel media.
