Abstract in brief

  • This study developed bio-composite films using Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) reinforced with silver (AgNPs) and titanium oxide (TiONPs) nanoparticles, and examined their physical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties.
  • The addition of nanoparticles increased tensile strength and Young’s elastic modulus while decreasing elongation and water vapor permeability, indicating stronger, less permeable films.
  • These nanocomposite films showed enhanced antibacterial activity against pathogens like Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella Typhimurium, with higher nanoparticle concentrations generally producing greater inhibition zones.
