| Abstract | ||
| Inorganic metal oxides represent a class of materials that have been used for health applications. In this work, three nanomaterialswere synthesized and characterized. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the synthesized materials was evaluated against the gram-negative bacterial species Escherichia coli and the gram-positive bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, by using three materials the natural clay (Zeolite), Novel Zn-LDHs-modified zeolites and LDH-zeolite composite which was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results of this study have shown that the antimicrobial activity measurement revealed that the LDH-zeolite composite exhibited more activity in gram-negative bacteria than gram-positive. | ||
