AB  - In the present work, copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were in situ generated in 
      cellulose matrix using Ocimum sanctum leaf extract as a reducing agent and aq. 
      CuSO4 solution by diffusion process. Some CuNPs were also formed outside the film 
      in the solution which were separated and viewed by Transmission electron 
      microscope and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The composite films showed 
      good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli bacteria when the CuNPs were 
      generated using higher concentrated aq. CuSO4 solutions. The cellulose, matrix 
      and the composite films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared 
      spectroscopic, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and SEM techniques. 
      The tensile strength of the composite films was lower than that of the matrix but 
      still higher than the conventional polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene 
      used for packaging applications. These biodegradable composite films can be 
      considered for packaging and medical applications.
