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
