Polymer-metal Nanocomposites with Antimicrobiai Activity... 

Modern industry has an increasing requirement for new materials with specific properties. Over the last few years, many studies have used new technology with the intention of obtaining nanomaterials which display specific functionality. Antimicrobial nanocomposites are multiphase materials that inhibit microbial development and are desirable for various everyday applications, such as food packaging, water management and medical use. Polymer-metal nanocomposites have specific applications related to their unique properties this important area of nanoscience offers multidisciplinary methods to provide materials for the fields of physical, chemical and materials science in conjunction with areas such as engineering and topology [1]. 

The progress of polymer-stabilised MNP via this method is recognised as one of the most brilliant answers to the problem of MNP stability. As a result, the incorporation of MNP into polymeric matrices has recently drawn a great deal of consideration as polymer-metal nanocomposites have already proved to be uncommon and display excellent properties in many practical applications. 

The alteration of commercially available ion exchange resins and the advancement of stable polymeric membranes containing MNP, which display specific frmctionality, such as, biocide or catalytic activity, is the focus of great attention [13]. The key advantage of the polymer-metal nanocomposite is the location of MNP near the...
