Synthesis and antifungal activities of polymer/montmorillonite–terbinafine hydrochloride nanocomposite films
AbstractThe poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)/montmorillonite–terbinafine hydrochloride (PDMS/OMMT) nanocomposite films were obtained by solution intercalation. Organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) with antifungal activity was prepared from Na+-montmorillonite (Na+-MMT) and terbinafine hydrochloride (Ter-HCl) by ion exchange. The microstructure of these nanocomposite films were characterized by TEM and XRD. The effect of OMMT on the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the nanocomposites was investigated. When the OMMT content was <1 mass %, the nanocomposites showed excellent mechanical properties. The polymers were tested for antifungal activity against Candida albicans. The PDMS/OMMT nanocomposite films strongly inhibited the C. albicans.
