Abstract
Nanocomposites containing newly synthesized methacrylate polymer, poly 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl-2-methylprop-2-enoate (PFPAMA), and SiO2 nanoparticles in different mass ratios (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt%) were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The morphological and structural properties of the materials have been examined by SEM, FTIR, TGA, and XRD techniques. The activation energies (Ea) related to thermal decomposition of the nanocomposites were estimated by the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) methods using non-isothermal TGA experiments. The thermal stability, glass transition temperature (Tg), and thermal decomposition activation energy (Ea) values of nanocomposites were increased by increasing the SiO2 amount on the composite. The dielectric constant (ε′), dielectric loss factor (ε′′), and ac conductivity of neat PFPAMA and PFPAMA/SiO2 nanocomposites were also measured for the frequency range of 100 Hz to 2 kHz at different temperatures (from 25 to 120 °C). It was seen that the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor decreased with increasing frequency. The biological activities of PFPAMA/SiO2 nanocomposites against gram-positive (S. aureus) and gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria were also tested. The antibacterial effect increased against both bacterial species as the amount of SiO2 in the nanocomposites increased.
