Abstract
Polymeric compounds are main types of advanced materials to prepare antibacterial coating as well as water treatment system hence this work was aimed to prepare a polymeric nanostructure with excellent bacteria capture efficiency. Dendronized melamine – resorcinol was synthesized by a condensation reaction. To simplify polymer collection from aqueous solutions, a magnetic nanocomposite of the polymer was also prepared. For this purpose, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by solid-state combustion route using cellulose as fuel. Bacteria removal efficiency was studied by uptake of Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) bacteria from water, milk and fruit juice samples. Effective parameter on the capturing efficiency including; solution pH, contact time and nanocomposite dosage were optimized. Results confirmed the positive role of presented nanostructure for fast capturing of bacterial pathogens with high efficiency (more than 99%).
