Antibacterial Property and Biodegradation of PLA/PBS Nonwoven Fabric Coated with Mangosteen Pericarp Extract

In light of the eco-friendliness and antimicrobial property mangosteen pericarp (MP), this research investigates antibacterial activity biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) nonwoven fabric coated with MP extract. experiment, extract concentrations were varied between 0 (uncoated), 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 wt%, experimental bacteria strains Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus. The results revealed that inhibited growth E. S. tensile strength concentration positively correlated, while elongation at break was inversely correlated concentration. Meanwhile, higher had minimal effect on biodegradability MP-coated PLA/PBS fabrics. Essentially, holds promising potential as an antibacterial. characteristic lies in use extract, agricultural waste, to inhibit bacterial growth.
