Fabrication and Evaluation of PMMA-PC/ Sb2O3-go Nanocomposites Films for Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

The casting method was used for the preparation of (PMMA-PC) blend films doped with Sb2O3-GO nanoparticles (1.4, 2.8, 4.2, and 5.6 wt. %).Various techniques, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopic techniques, were used to characterize the (PMMA-PC/ Sb2O3-GO) nanocomposites. Two different strains of pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (G+ve) and Escherichia coli. (G-ve), were used to investigate the effectiveness of (Sb2O3-GO) nanoparticles. The outcomes showed that both of these bacterial species illnesses can be treated with (PMMA-PC/ Sb2O3-GO) nanocomposites due to their potent antibacterial activity. The results show increasing the percentage of antimony oxide and graphene oxide NPs leads to the inhibition zone of these bacteria is increased.
