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

The ethyl cellulose manganese(II) hydrogen phosphate was synthesised by sol-gel method using various 1:1 electrolytes at different temperature and concentration. These materials were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and pH meter. This material refers a new class of material as it contains both organic that is a polymer and inorganic parts along with the improved chemical as well as mechanical stabilities. The material conductivity generally decreases in the order K+ > Na+ for 1:1 electrolyte solution. This study displayed the applications of conductivity of materials in the varied field of science. The material exhibited inhibitory results against gram positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA-22) and gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli (K-12), and it marked the enhancement in the effectiveness of the antibacterial agent
