Abstract :
The ethyl cellulose manganese(II) hydrogen phosphate was synthesised by sol-gel
method using various 1:1 electrolytes at different temperature and concentration. These
materials were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,
Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and pH meter. This material refers a new class of
material as it contains both organic that is a polymer and inorganic parts along with the
improved chemical as well as mechanical stabilities. The material conductivity generally
decreases in the order K+ > Na+ for 1:1 electrolyte solution. This study displayed the
applications of conductivity of materials in the varied field of science. The material exhibited
inhibitory results against gram positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA-22) and
gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli (K-12), and it marked the enhancement in the
effectiveness of the antibacterial agent
