Abstract

The green synthesis of nanoparticles is of considerable interest because it is eco-friendly, cost-effective, biocompatible, and non-toxic. Split pulse extract was used as a reducing/capping agent for the synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles. Green synthesized nanoparticles were embedded in the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane by using a solution casting technique to develop a nanocomposite. This thin film was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and contact angle analysis. The antibacterial property of the TiO₂/PDMS nanocomposite was examined, and the results showed excellent antibacterial activity of TiO₂/PDMS compared to PDMS without nanoparticles. The nanocomposite film exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in the presence of TiO₂ nanoparticles in the polymer. Here, different weight percentages of TiO₂ nanoparticles, i.e. 0%, 7%, 10%, and 13%, were loaded on the PDMS surface to enhance its antibacterial activity. The green synthesis of TiO₂ nanoparticles embedded in PDMS and their suitability for antibacterial activity are reported for the first time.

Keywords: antibacterial activity; dal extract; green route; polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); TiO2 nanoparticles
