The using of the soap of the beta vulgaris to modify polyurethane foam as an antimicrobial polymer

الملخص EN

Polymeric materials containing the soap of The Beta vulgaris have not been studied and applied to a variety of antimicrobial-relevant areas.

The soap of The Beta vulgaris was prepared using the ordinary cocking method.

The soap was mix with polyurethane foams in to ways but one of the two ways produce a weak polymer matrix.

In order to know the activity of the soap of The Beta vulgaris as an antimicrobial agent mixed with polyurethane foam.

The types of microbes were used.

Susceptibility was determined by the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method Bacteria (Staphylococcus auras, Escherichia coli) and Fungi (Candida albicans) were grown on nutrient broth at 37C overnight The obtained results show no clear inhibition zone for the three microbes.

The amazing result is that the soap of The Beta vulgaris is working as a biodegradation agent that when mix with the foam of polyurethane will produce a biodegradable polymer foam.
