Quaternary ammonium salts as antibacterial agent were immobilized onto electrospun nylon-6/Ch nanofibers via surface modification by soaking the mat in aqueous solution of glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) at room temperature overnight to give nylon-6/N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl] chitosan chloride (nylon-6/HTCC). The morphological, structural and thermal properties of the nylon-6/ch nanofibers were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Biological screening has demonstrated the antibacterial activity of the electrospun nanofibers against Gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli 35218, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus 24213 among the tested microbes. Thus, the study ascertains the value of the use of electrospun nanofibers, which could be of considerable interest to the development of new antibacterial materials for biomedical applications.
