Abstract :The aim of this study was to produce Juglone – Poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL) - Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) composite films and determine their antibacterial properties. PCL-Al 2 O 3 composite films containing 1% and 5% juglone were prepared using roll mill method. Juglone – Poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL) - Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) composite films were found to have 100% antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. It is thought that Juglone-PCL-Al 2 O 3 composite films may have potential application in food packaging and personal care products in order to ensure microbial safety and extend shelf life of food and personal care products.Keywords : Juglone, Poly(ε-caprolactone), Composite, Antibacterial
