Synthesis of novel cement mortar/polymer nanocomposites for antifungal and antibacterial applications is investigated. The blend solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with various ratios of yttrium oxide (Y\(_2\)O\(_3\)) nanoparticles is prepared with content of 1 wt.% by weight of cement. The (PVP–CMC–Y\(_2\)O\(_3\)) nanocomposites are used with cement to fabricate the mortar/(PVP–CMC–Y\(_2\)O\(_3\)) nanocomposites for biomedical applications. The cement mortar/(PVP–CMC–Y\(_2\)O\(_3\)) is tested against Aspergillus, Lactose organisms and Proteus organisms. Results show that the inhibition zones increase as Y\(_2\)O\(_3\) nanoparticles’ ratios increase.

Keywords: antifungal agent, antibacterial agent, yttrium oxide, cement mortar, nanocomposites
