Synthesis, Characterization, Conductivity and Antibacterial Activity of Ethyl Cellulose Manganese(II) Hydrogen Phosphate

The ethyl cellulose manganese(ii) hydrogen phosphate was synthesised by sol-gelmethod using various 1:1 electrolytes at different temperature and concentration. thesematerials were characterized by using fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy,ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis) spectroscopy and ph meter. this material refers a new class ofmaterial as it contains both organic that is a polymer and inorganic parts along with theimproved chemical as well as mechanical stabilities. the material conductivity generallydecreases in the order k+ > na+ for 1:1 electrolyte solution. this study displayed theapplications of conductivity of materials in the varied field of science. the material exhibitedinhibitory results against gram positive bacteria like staphylococcus aureus (mssa-22) andgram negative bacteria like escherichia coli (k-12), and it marked the enhancement in theeffectiveness of the antibacterial agent
