چکیده

Research in this area aims to create PMMA-PEO/Si nanocomposites with different concentrations of silicon (0.4, 1.4, 2.8, 4.2, and 5.6 weight percent). We suggested the nanocomposites’ electrical, structural, and FTIR characteristics. The frequency, dielectric constant, and electrical loss were all reduced by applying an electric field. The results demonstrated that the electrical Loss and dielectric constant of all specimens rose as silicon levels rose. The conductivity of alternating current showed this characteristic. The researchers also collected nanocomposites made of (PMMA-PEO/Si). As the concentration of Si nanoparticles in these composites grew, they demonstrated an increasing capacity to suppress bacterial growth. Due to their unique combination of silicon’s electrical characteristics with those of PMMA and PEO polymers, the findings demonstrated that the laboratory-prepared nanocomposites exhibit distinctive features. Staphylococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria were among the pathogens whose growth was efficiently inhibited by these nanocomposites in laboratory testing. These findings suggest that the nanocomposites used in this study have the potential to be useful materials in many medical contexts, particularly for the creation of new antibacterial substances that may combat the increasing problems caused by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
