The citrate reduction method in aqueous medium is the most suitable method of making an alkaline solution of the nanocolloids . The objective of this study was to produce a novel latex foam material that has antimicrobial properties against two main groups of bacteria and fungi. The antibacterial and antifungal properties of resultant NRL foam samples were evaluated for antibacterial activities by agar diffusionagainst E. coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, and S. aureus,
a Gram-positive bacterium. Anti fungal activities of the resultant NRL foam pieces were investigated by parallel streak against Aspergillus niger as the fungus. Based on the existing literature data found in many international journals and websites, none of the published evidence has studied the antimicrobial properties of natural rubber latex foam. Also, none of the published
research work has synthesized SNP incorporated antimicrobial
NRLF foam. Therefore, this research work will be
very useful to be considered by future researchers in the
related field.
