Abstract
ABSTRACTPolyindole-based silver and copper oxide (polyindole/Ag–CuO) nanocomposites were synthesized using reflux condensation method by varying the concentrations of polyindole and silver nitrate with copper oxide in N2 atmosphere. They were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The SEM images revealed fascinating shapes of CuO nanoparticles. The FTIR and XRD confirmed the functional group transformation and crystalline natures of silver and CuO existed in the nanocomposites. The polyindole/Ag–CuO nanocomposites were examined for antibacterial activity and found to exhibit the antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria.
