Abstrakt: The PMMA–PEG–Si3N4 nanocomposites’ films are fabricated by casting method with different ratios of Si3N4 nanoparticles (NPs) of 0, 1.6, 3.2, 4.8 and 6.4 wt.% to use for antibacterial defence and γ-radiation shielding. The PMMA–PEG–Si3N4 nanocomposites’ films are tested for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results show that the PMMA–PEG–Si3N4 nanocomposites have high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, the PMMA–PEG–Si3N4 nanocomposites’ films are tested for γ- radiation shielding. The results show that the PMMA–PEG–Si3N4 nanocomposites’ films have high linear attenuation coefficients for γ-rays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
