Abstract

Upcycling is an effective approach to reduce plastic waste, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and promote sustainability. Plastic bottles usually were made from PET polymer and a raw material to produce carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). CNMs are synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and purified to eliminate catalysts and unwanted compounds. Various catalysts were used to investigate the economic and effective in producing the CNMs. Metal catalysts such as ferrocene, cobalt and iron are the important elements in the CVD process as they provide surfaces for carbon to attach. CNMs morphology and graphitic structure were observed from Raman analysis and TEM analysis. The application of upcycling offers the advantage of utilizing low-cost raw materials to produce higher-value products, providing additional benefits.

Abstract

This study presents the development of high-performance radiation curable acrylate coatings reinforced with functionalized carbon nanotubes (F-CNTs) synthesized from waste plastic bottles by chemical vapor deposition method for antimicrobial applications. Epoxy and polyurethane acrylate resins (Ebecryl 600 and Ebecryl 210) were formulated with varying F-CNT loadings (0.05–0.70 wt%) and subjected to different ultraviolet (UV) curing exposure by varying UV exposure. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis confirmed successful photopolymerization through the reduction of acrylate functional groups and formation of a crosslinked network. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated enhanced thermal stability and increased char residue at higher F-CNT concentrations (0.70 wt%), attributed to the barrier effect of nanotubes with the expense of crosslinking density due to the shading effect of F-CNTs. Antimicrobial study using E. coli revealed a significant reduction in bacterial viability, achieving near-complete inhibition within 24 h of exposure. The results highlight that optimal F-CNT dispersion is critical, as potential excessive loading can hinder curing efficiency due to agglomeration. Overall, this work demonstrates a sustainable and effective strategy for developing multifunctional coatings with enhanced durability and antimicrobial performance for healthcare and industrial applications
