AB  - A comparative study on the antimicrobial behavior of high density polyethylene 
      (HDPE) nanocomposite monofilaments based on three types of metal nanoparticles 
      (NPs) decorated montmorillonite (MMT) has been presented. Modified MMT decorated 
      with silver, copper and zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized in-lab and used 
      as a reinforcing agent in preparing HDPE/modified MMT nanocomposite monofilaments 
      via melt compounding and fiber spinning route in presence of compatibilizer. The 
      concentration of modified MMT was varied from 1 to 5 wt. % in the nanocomposite 
      monofilament. A mixture of intercalated and exfoliated morphology was observed 
      from TEM and WAXD analyses with absence of clay agglomerations. DSC studies 
      indicated MMT acting as heterogeneous nucleating agent with increased degree of 
      crystallinity, crystallization temperature and rate of crystallization. The 
      HDPE/modified MMT nanocomposite monofilaments showed remarkable decrease in 
      bacterial colonies against Gram (-) E. coli and Gram (+) S. aureus with 
      HDPE/Ag-MMT monofilaments showing the highest activity (>99%). The dissolution 
      kinetics of metal ions/NPs from modified MMT nanostructure was studied to 
      understand its effect on antimicrobial action. The antimicrobial filaments are 
      potential candidates to replace neat HDPE counterparts in moist environment 
      applications such as ropes, sacks, agricultural items and geotextiles where 
      microbial growth is a cause of concern.
