This study focuses on fabrication, characterization, and antibacterial studies of polyurethane (PU) nanofibers composite containing salicylic acid (SA). The SA was mixed with the PU solution prior to electrospinning and the resulting solution was electrospun into the fiber form to obtain SA/PU composite nanofibers membrane. The antibacterial property of the as-obtained SA/PU NFs was studied against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. The composite nanofibers showed the good antibacterial bacterial properties in both cases. The pronounced antibacterial performance of the SA/PU composite nanofibers is attributed to the phenolic groups present in the SA. The as-prepared composite fibers can be considered as a potential candidate in biomedical applications.
