Abstract
The nanocomposite of different ratios of (4-vinyl pyridine (VP) vinyl acetate (VAc) copolymers), with montmorillonite (Bent), was prepared by direct interaction of sodium montmorillonite (Bent). It was found that the interaction occurred, through ion exchange between sodium cations in Bent and pyridinium ions, in the copolymers. The structure of the prepared composite was confirmed via X-ray diffraction, thermal stability via thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope. Also, the formation of metallo composites with Cu+2, Hg+2, and Co+2 cations, and their antimicrobial activities were investigated. The results indicated that the prepared composite exhibited antibacterial activities.
