Herein, simple and cost-effective electrospinning technique was implied for synthesis zinc sulfide (ZnS) doped polyvinyl acetate derived (ZnS-PVAc) nanofibers for enhanced antibacterial activity. The antibacterial property of ZnS-PVAc composite nanofiber was investigated against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria using disk diffusion technique under indoor light activation. The pristine PVAc did not show the antibacterial activity, however after incorporation of ZnS nanoparticles ZnS-PVAc nanofibers clearly displayed the zone of inhibition for both bacterial strains. Ultimately, this work can impart novel route to fabricate transition metal sulfide based nanoparticles doped polymer nanofibers by electrospinning method.
