Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) incorporated layered double hydroxides (LDH) reinforced chitosan grafted polymethyl methacrylate nanocomposites (CHs-g-PMMA/Ag/LDH) are prepared by the surfactant-free emulsion polymerization process. The laminar sandwiched structure of CHs-g-PMMA is obtained by the exfoliation of LDH platelets and AgNPs embedded in the composite resembles the plums in pudding. TG analysis establishes the high processibility of the material due to the presence of LDH and silver nanoparticles. The incorporation of AgNPs and LDH platelets improves the thermal stability appreciably, and it is further enhanced with the increase in LDH content. Mechanical attributes such as tensile strength, compressive strength, Young’s modulus and elongation at break are increased monotonically by the addition of AgNPs as well as increasing concentration of LDH. The exfoliation of LDH platelets within the CHs-g-PMMA/Ag improves the mechanical strength significantly. The uniform distribution of LDH creates a tortuous path which hinders gas permeation by which the barrier property of the nanocomposite is improved by sevenfold as compared to the copolymeric matrix. Biodegradability and chemical resistance are improved by the combined effect of AgNPs and LDH. Limiting oxygen index (LOI) values are raised due to the laminar structure of LDH which justifies the composite as fire-retardant material. The antibacterial behavior of the materials is analyzed by zone inhibition technique using S. aureus and E. coli as test organisms. The materials exhibited improvement in antibacterial behavior as a result of introduction of AgNPs and LDH with more pronounced effect on gram-negative bacterial strains. These as-synthesized, chemically inert and thermally stable materials possessing higher barrier and antibacterial properties can be considered as a smart material for potential packaging applications.
