Synthesis and Morphology Characteristics of PMMA/CeO2/SiO2 Nanostructures for Antibacterial Application
Abstract:In this work, nanocomposite films are prepared by casting method from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with various ratios of nanomaterials (SiO 2 -CeO 2 ): 1.4, 2.8, 4.2 and 5.6 wt.%. The structural properties are investigated by means of the optical and field emission scanning electron microscopies. The results show that there is a good-homogeneity distribution of SiO 2 /CeO 2 nanoparticles within the polymeric mixture. The PMMA/SiO 2 /CeO 2 nanocomposites are tested for antibacterial application. The results … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
