Abstract
Nowadays, nanotechnology is gaining interest on diagnostics for several chronic diseases. In the present study, the chemical oxidative method of aniline in acid medium with ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) as an oxidant was employed to develop polyaniline (PANI)-based nanocomposite overflowing/doping on ZnO. The chemical properties, morphology, and structure of the polymer and nanocomposite were investigated using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The characteristic FTIR peaks of PANI were reported to shift to a higher or lower wave number in PANI-doped ZnO composites due to the formation of H-bonding. Different amounts of ZnO nanoparticles were used to test this influence on the strength of the generated materials. The ability of the PANI-doped ZnO nanocomposite to inhibit struvite crystal growth was determined. The size of struvite crystals was condensed from 2.9 to 1.4cm at a concentration of 5% PANI-doped ZnO nanoparticles, and the inhibition efficiency of synthesized PANI-doped ZnO against kidney stone (struvite) was confirmed by molecular docking analyzes. The in vitro as well as in silico study revealed the potential applications of polyaniline/ZnO nanocomposite in kidney diseases.
