Abstract
A high performance antimicrobial paper was fabricated using composite of sugar cane bagasse pith and burned scallop particles with sugar cane bagasse pulp. The paper that was fabricated without degassing the composite pith had higher the scallop particle concentration on the top of surface displayed a greater value of anti-bacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus than paper prepared that were mixed with degassing the composite pith and only mixed with scallop particle after 30minutes of cultivation. However the bagasse pulp and pith had antimicrobial activity as well as the scallop particle, the activity was not constant. The paper that was fabricated without degassing the composite pith had the stable activity and the quick effect.
