| Abstract | Incredibly significant events occurred in 1930 that have affected people's lives ever since. The invention of nylon was a significant event that altered how people dress and go about their daily lives. Even more job prospects and advancements at work were made possible by it throughout time. The first synthetic material, nylon, was created in 1934 by a group of DuPont researchers under the direction of Dr. Wallace Hume Carothers (Adams 21). When they pulled an elastic string from plastic and created nylon, they were looking for a synthetic alternative to silk. Compared to other materials currently in use, this new creation offered many more superior features and/or capabilities. Nylons are the most recognized for their ability to be dyed, for not being damaged by most house hold cleaners or greases and oils, for drying quickly, and most importantly, for having a silk like appearance (The world Book). Nylon has a higher tensile strength than cotton, rayon, silk, and wool (Encarta).Additionally, they include qualities like flexibility, cleaning ease,The controlled reduction of Ag+ ions with sodium borohydride at room temperature produced silver nanoparticles (NPs). Ag nanoparticles were added to Nylon 6,6 by trapping Ag+ ions in the polymer network and then reducing them. Scanning microelectronic microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the nanocomposite. Bacillus coli communis (Escherichia) was used in vitro antibacterial experiments to ascertain the substance's antibacterial capacity. The present work studies the effect of silver nanoparticles in the range of 1–100 nm on Gram-negative bacteria using high angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). |
