Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Complexes Based on Aniline Derivative Schiff Base for Antimicrobial Applications and UV Protection of a Modified Cotton Fabric

Antimicrobial textiles have played an increasingly important protection role in the medical field. With this aim, Schiff bases and nanometal complexes on cotton fabric were situ synthesized for achieving conventional fabric’s highly efficient durable UV antibacterial properties. Herein, a new base derived from condensation reaction of 2,4-dihyroxybenzaldehyde with p-amino aniline was synthesized. Co, Ni, Cu, Zn also prepared characterized by UV-Vis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, elemental analysis, thermal analysis. The modified via X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transition (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Moreover, microbial, protection, tensile strength samples investigated. antimicrobial studied against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative fungal strains. Modified exhibited activity contrast activity. These results depended type metal complex. show that provides excellent protection.
