Production, characterization and testing of antibacterial PVA membranes loaded with HA-Ag3PO4 nanoparticles, produced by SC-CO2 phase inversion
Resumen: BACKGROUND: Silver-loaded hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes obtained by supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) assisted phase inversion. Ag3PO4 crystals of 2.2 ± 0.6 nm were dispersed in synthesized needle-like hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (20 × 65 nm) and were uniformly deposited on the internal surfaces of the PVA membranes. Operative conditions to produce membranes by SC-CO2, PVA concentration and the effect on membrane porosity and morphology were studied. RESULTS: Solutions at 20% w/w PVA produced membranes with cellular morphology and nanoporous walls, whereas 30% and 50% w/w solutions produced nanostructured membranes. Silver ions were released from PVA membranes mainly by diffusion according to the Peppas–Sahlin model. Membranes obtained at 20% w/w PVA showed a significant E. coli inhibition at an Ag concentration of 9 ppm, reaching the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and improving the bactericidal activity of the nanoparticles. CONCLUSION: A concentration of Ag3PO4 crystals of about 22 ppm was calculated as being capable of completely destroying these bacteria, reaching the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC).
