Abstract

In this study, (PMMA/Si3N4/TaC) nanocomposites has been prepared by casting technigue with variant content of)Si3N4/TaC( nanoparticles as promising materials to use in various electronics and optics nanodevices. The structural and optical properties have been examined. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) indicates that the homogenous, smooth and dispersed of Si3N4 and TaC NPs inside the PMMA matrix due to strong covalent interaction between the Si3N4 and TaC NPs in the PMMA matrix. Optical microscope (OM) images explained that increasing in content of nanoparticles forms network paths inside the polymeric matrix which act as charge carriers. The absorbance of (PMMA/Si3N4/TaC) nanocomposite increases as the concentrations of (Si3N4/TaC) nanoparticles increase while the transmittance decreases. The energy gap of (PMMA/Si3N4/TaC) nanocomposite was decreased from 4.4 eV for pure PMMA to 2.4 eV when the (Si3N4/TaC) NPs content reached (8 wt.%). This result made it potentially important for numerous optical domains and nanoscale optoelectronic devices. The absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, dielectric constants of real and imaginary parts and optical conductivity are rising with the rise of the weight percentages of Si3N4/TaC nanoparticles. The results of antibacterial application for (PMMA/Si3N4/TaC) nanocomposites showed that the inhibition zone for S. aureus and K. aerogenes increases with increasing the concentrations of Si3N4/TaC nanoparticles. The final obtained results showed that the (PMMA/Si3N4/TaC) nanostructures have excellent optical characteristics to employ in the optoelelectronics and antibecterial fields.
