El-Sawy}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Chitosan polyacrylic acid composite membranes were prepared by a bulk polymerization method in presence of N, N'- methylene bisacrylamide (crosslinker) and ammonium persulphate as initiator. Membranes prepared from this copolymer in presence and absence of Ag nanoparticles were characterized by measuring mechanical and physical properties, water up-take and antibacterial properties. The results obtained indicated that the prepared membranes have antibacterial properties which increase with adding Ag nanoparticles.}, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {9}, number = {9}, year = {2015}, pages = {1149 - 1154}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10002486}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/105}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 105, 2015}, }
