    Abstract:
    Polyaniline/Cu(0.05)Zn(0.95)O (PANI/CZO) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ inverse microemulsion method. Based on the characterization of the crystal structure, chemical composition, and morphology of the samples, it was confirmed that CZO nanoparticles were incorporated into the polyaniline matrix. Studies of the antimicrobial activities of the samples against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans were carried out using powder inhibition zone, minimum inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentrations methods. The results showed clearly that, as an antibacterial agent, PANI/CZO nanocomposites exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against the growth of microorganisms. Furthermore, the antibacterial mechanism of the samples was also deduced in this paper.
