Resumo
This paper presents a study of high melting strengh polypropylene (HMSPP) foams by gamma irradiation with
insertion of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) adsorbed in carrier of CaCO3 (natural source) aiming bactericidal
effect. The use of silver (Ag°) gives important antibacterial property since silver is highly toxic against bacterae. The
HMSPP matrix was processed in a twin screw extruder under CO2 atmosphere and polypropylene nanocomposites
(HMSPP-AgNC) were obtained in different concentrations of silver. The material was characterized by scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron microscopy
(FESEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), cytotoxicity assay and reduction colony-forming-unit (CFU).
The analyzed foams showed spherical clusters and homogeneous regions with good distribution of the silver
nanoparticles. Furthermore, the HMSPP@AgNCs foams exhibited a antibacterial efficiency against E. coli and S.
aureus due to the presence of the biocidal silver nanoparticles.
