Abstract

The prevalence of bacterial infections has witnessed a notable rise in recent years, primarily attributed to the emergence of treatment-resistant strains of bacteria. Nanoparticles have emerged as a viable alternative for various medical procedures due to their nanometric size, which is strongly associated with a high antibacterial capacity. Polymer nanocomposite specimens were fabricated using the solution casting process. The specimens consisted of a polymer combination composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the organic host matrix. These specimens were supplemented with varying amounts of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and tin dioxide (SnO2) at varied weight percentages (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%). This study investigated the morphological, structural, optical, and antimicrobial properties of (PVA-CMC-SiO2-SnO2) nanocomposites (NCs). Fourier transform infrared ray (FTIR) exhibits alterations in peak position and variations in shape and size. The findings derived from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements demonstrate a satisfactory level of distribution and uniformity in the surface morphology. The optical microscope images demonstrate that the dispersion of nanoparticles within the blend was homogeneous, forming a cohesive network throughout the polymer matrix. The energy gap for permissible and impermissible transitions decreases from (4.25 to 2.30) eV and (3.56 to 0.82) eV, respectively. The findings suggest a positive correlation between the concentrations of (SiO2-SnO2) nanoparticles and the observed absorbance values, absorption coefficient, refractive index, dielectric constant (real and imaginary), and optical conductivity. The optical parameters: absorption coefficient(α), refractive index(n), extinction coefficient(k), real(ε1) and imaginary(ε2) parts of dielectric constants and optical conductivity(σop) for PVA-CMC enhanced about 110%, 13%, 114%, 29%, 100% and 84% respectively, with adding of the SiO2-SnO2 nanostructures(8 wt%) at a wavelength(λ = 400 nm), These results indicated that the (PVA-CMC-SiO2-SnO2) nanostructures may be promising materials for optoelectronics nanodevices. The (PVA-CMC-SiO2-SnO2) nanocomposites were lastly investigated for antibacterial purposes. The antimicrobial activity of S. aureus and E. coli increased as the ratio of SiO2-SnO2 nanoparticles to PVA-CMC increased, resulting in inhibition zone values of 19 and 17 mm, respectively. Therefore, the findings of this study demonstrate the applicability and potential of nanocomposites for utilization in optoelectronics and medical fields.
