Özet

Interest in synthesizing functional materials from natural compounds has increased recently. For this reason, compound particles attract attention due to their multifunctional properties. Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Okra) is a vegetable species belonging to the Hibiscus family, widely used for its edible unripe fruit. This study synthesized the particle from the Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) extract (Oe) by emulsion polymerization. In this synthesis, ammonium persulfate (APS, initiator) to form free radicals at the Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) extract (Oe) and ethylene glycol di methacrylate to cross-link the formed radicals were used. The synthesized poly(Okra) ((p(O)) particles structure Field emission scanning and Fourier transform infrared and biological activities (biocompatible, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging) were characterized. The p(O) particle showed good antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans. It has been measured to have high antioxidant and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity with p(O) particles.
