Published scientific research in global Journal with impact factor (I.F=1.114) Publish all of the professors Prof. Dr. Adawiya J. Haider / director of center of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Research and Prof. Dr. Mohamed Radi M. and Dr. Duha S. Ahmed / Applied Science Department a scientific research with a title (Influence of functionalization MWCNTs Using acid treatment on Gram negative Bacteria and Gram positive Bacteria) in global Journal ( Iraqi Journal of Applied Physics, IJAP) with impact factor (I.F=1.11) that aims to surface functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (F-MWCNTs) using acid treatment and characterize the morphological of surface modification on the MWCNTs structure due to oxidation. Then, tested the antibacterial action of functionalized F-MWCNTs for their efficiency in destroying the pathogenic bacteria, Gram negative (E. coli ) and Gram positive (S. aureus) bacteria. The results obtained indicate that modified F-MWCNTs were able to remove from 80-90% of E. coli at large exposure times while a higher removal of bacteria (up to 100%) of S. aureus was achieved when F-MWCNTs was used under the same conditions and improved antibacterial action of F-MWCNTs for the removal of Bacteria from water using modified F-MWCNTs.
