Speech Title: Inorganic Nanoparticles embedded Electrospun Nanofibers of Methacrylate polymers: Used for Water sanitation
Abstract: Acrylates/methacrylates are such polymers that have verities of properties like clarity, stiffness, flexibility, weather durability and many more. Forming the materials from these types of polymers gives new era in the fields of biomedical, adhesives, agriculture, coatings and many more. Functionalized acrylates/methacrylates polymers are most useful to prepare nanomaterial for their significant applications. Fabricated poy(NPEMA-co-CMPMA) nanofibers are useful to remove metal ions from the water. Same nanofibers were also harvest the growth of the bacteria. Ag Nps embedded poly(CMPMA) nanofibers were tested on different microorganisms and Narmada canal water. It is seems that the Ag Nps doped nanofibers are effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms from tests waters and Narmada canal water. Coal doped polystyrene nanofibers are effectively remove various dyes from the water by just pass through the nanofibers. ZnO Nps doped polymethyl methacrylate (as Sheath) and polyvinyl alcohol (as Core) core-sheath nanofiber was prepared by coaxial electrospinning. It is seems that ZnO doped core-sheath nanofibers are effectively inhibit the growth of the microorganisms. All fabricated nanofibers were characterized from the spectroscopic, microscopic and differaction techniques. Thermal stability of the nanofibers also confirms from the Thermogravimetric (TGA) data.
