Study on Properties of Antibacterical Polyprophylene/Graphene Oxide Composites
Polypropylene(PP)/Graphite oxide(GO)composites with different GO content were prepared by melt extrusion.The mechanical properties,thermal properties,melting and crystalline prpperties,antibacterial properties of the PP/GO composites were investigated.The results showed that the tensile strength and flexural strength of the composites had no obious improvement compared with pure PP.When the dosage of GO was 1.0%,the impact strength value was 4.62 kJ/m2,which was 1.62 times greater than that of PP,not only that,the composites showed excellent heat resistance property,the softening temperature was increased by above 23.9 ℃.At the same time,the antibacterial rates against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus of the composites were as high as 50%,implying that the composites had excellent antibacterial property.With the good performance of the PP/GO composites,which could lay an expermental foundation for the future exploitation and industrial application in food packaging material,agricultural and medical products.
