In this study antibacterial coated paper packaging with improved properties were prepared from incorporation of nanoclay montmorillonite and antimicrobial triclosan into coatings. The materials were characterized by mechanical and antimicrobial tests, water barrier and thermal analysis. It was demonstrated that use of nanoclay increases significantly the tensile strength of coated papers, besides increase the thermal stability of them. All triclosan-containing papers presented inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, all coated papers presented superior water barrier due to coating process. The new nanocomposite developed shows great potential for antimicrobial packaging applications.
