Abstract

Today, the use of credit cards has increased dramatically due to the advance in technology. The use of credit cards with public devices causes the transmission of pathogens. In this study, antibacterial papers were produced by biodegradable materials of lignocellulose such as nanocrystalline cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose with iron oxide nanoparticles. Magnetic papers were produced with antibacterial properties and their performance was investigated on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of the magnetic test demonstrated that superparamagnetic properties in all samples. Nano magnetite with 25 (emu/g) showed the highest magnetic saturation as well as magnetic nanocrystalline cellulose with 15 (emu/g). The antibacterial action of the papers on the gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus was appropriate and had prevented effect on bacteria. Moreover, the coated papers with magnetic nanocrystalline cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose nanocomposites showed the highest bacterial inhibition area.
