Abstract

In this study, due to the importance of Melt-Blown nonwoven fabrics (MBNWF) for air purification and public health, nanomaterials of net CuO and Fe-doped in CuO structure were used to create antibacterial properties of MBNWF. The aforementioned nanomaterials were synthesized as an antibacterial agent by hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analyses. The results showed that CuO and Fe-doped CuO were polycrystallized with a monoclinic nanosheet structure without impurities. Next, the MBNWF were coated with these nanosheets (NSs) in a simple process using an autoclave. Fabric samples were analysed by FESEM to confirm coating performance. The viable Cell Count method was used to test the antibacterial effect of the samples. The results showed that the samples have strong antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (Gr+) and Escherichia coli (Gr−) bacteria strains. In most cases, the inhibition efficiency observed was above 90%.
