Resumen
Antimicrobial activity represents a challenge for scientific community. Polymer processing
conditions impose temperature limitation for stability of biocide nanoparticles. In the present
work, we evaluate ZnO synthesized in laboratory, utilizing Zn(NO3)26H2O as precursor. The
main proposal is to improve the incorporation of this nanoparticle on SEBS/PP resulting on
biocide material films. Before application on SEBS/PP, the nanoparticles was tested by
reduction of forming colony units (CFU)(%), Dynamical Light Scattering (DLS) and Zeta
potential. On CFU tests, all samples showed biocide properties. The samples with concentration
of 1% showed the higher biocide effect on E.coli bacteria, in comparison of lower
concentrations. The obtained material biocide was processed on SEBS/PP for obtaining of
polymeric films with biocide activity and the new material was characterized by: forming colony
units (CFU)(%), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR). Funda????o de Amparo ?? Pesquisa do Estado de S??o Paulo (FAPESP) FAPESP: 17/20177-3
