Poly(N-cyclohexylacrylamide-co-acrylamide-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid sodium salt) Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite hydrogels were synthesized by in situ free-radical copolymerization in aqueous Methanol at 60 C using Ammonium persulphate (APS) as the initiator and N,N’methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker . The N-cyclohexylacrylamide (NCA) and acrylamide (AM) monomers were fixed as 50:50 w/w and the amount of sodium salt of the 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid (AMPSNa) is varied. Characterization of this polymer matrix using FT-IR, SEM/EDX and XRD indicated the presence of ZnO nanoparticles. The gravimetric method was adopted to study the swelling behavior of ZnO Hydrogels. The ZnO nanocomposite hydrogels showed potent antimicrobial activity on pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and fungi Candida albicans.
