Synthesis of PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 Nanostructures for Antibacterial and Radiation-Shielding Applications
447–456 (2024)

PACS numbers: 61.80.Ed, 68.37.Hk, 81.07.Pr, 82.35.Np, 83.60.Np, 87.19.xb, 87.64.M-

The current research aims to fabricate the new PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures (PMMA—poly(methyl 2-methylpropenoate), PEO—polyethylene oxide) to use them in biomedical purposes as the radiation-shielding and in antibacterial applications due to their distinguished chemical and physical properties as well as a good gamma-ray attenuation coefficients and high antibacterial effectiveness. The PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures are prepared with different weight percentages of silicon carbide (SiC)/barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles (NPs) and PMMA/PEO blend to obtain nanostructures with low-weight, good flexibility, and good processability. The morphology of films’ surface for PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures is searched by optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SiC/BaTiO3 NPs are highly homogenous within the PMMA/PEO medium, according to the OM and SEM investigations. The attenuation coefficients are tested using 137Cs sources. The results demonstrate that the attenuation coefficient of PMMA/PEO is enhanced by rising of SiC/BaTiO3 NPs. The antibacterial results show that the PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures have antibacterial effectiveness for gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Therefore, the PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures can be employed as a radiation-shielding material as well as an antibacterial agent for use in the medical and environmental applications

KEY WORDS: PMMA/PEO, SiC, BaTiO3, antibacterial effectiveness, radiation shielding
