Characterizations of Synthesized Nano Hybrid Octyl Gallate with ZnO LHS and Determined its Anti Microbial Activities

Abstract

ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by sol-gel reaction between zinc oxide and (Octyl gallate), Octyl gallate Evolution was characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy,), Fourier  transform  infrared  (FT-IR) spectroscopy technique, X-ray  diffraction  (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and  Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). A well crystalline fiber-like structure was formed. Controlled release was fitted with different modules. Antimicrobial activity tests were done against eight bacterial and three fungal isolates, results showed that nano hybrid composite was efficient in inhibiting both gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as the fungal isolates used in this study.

Keywords: ZnO; nano materials; antimicrobial activity; intercalations.
