Popis: Some preliminary investigations on “green” preparation, morphology and antibacterial behavior of Linseed polyol nanocomposite [LMPOL] for antibacterial polyurethane coatings are summarised. Nanocomposite is prepared in situ with Linseed polyol [LP] matrix as organic and Copper acetate as inorganic constituent by “solventless one-pot” chemical reaction. The presence of characteristic absorption bands in FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of LMPOL. TEM analysis showed the presence of nano-sized metal oxide in LMPOL. LMPOL showed good antibacterial behavior against E. coli and S. aureus . The interactions between LMPOL and bacterial surfaces lead to good antibacterial efficacy, suggesting membrane disruption based cell death. LMPOL may serve as an excellent starting material for antibacterial polyurethane coating. The approach is an excellent example for the preparation of “green” polyol from “green” resource en route Green Chemistry for protective polyurethane coatings.
