Researchers found that the incorporation of copper(II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) into the PVA-PFPAMA mixture significantly improves the thermal and biological properties of the nanocomposites.

The research proves that the antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic activity of the nanocomposites increases with the proportion of CuO nanoparticles.  Source : wpw - adobe.stock.com

In a recent study, a mixture of poly 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl-2-methylprop-2-enoate (PFPAMA) and PVA was first prepared and characterized using the hydrothermal method. Copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) prepared by solution plasma process (SPP) were hydrothermally incorporated into the PVA-PFPAMA blend at 3 %, 5 %, and 7 %. FTIR spectroscopy was used to identify the functional groups of the obtained materials. Morphological and structural analysis of the materials was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
