Abstract In the current report, we have successfully synthesized nanocomposites of PMMA incorporating different doping of CeO2 through a chemical approach. XRD results reflects decent matching for CeO2 nanoparticles with 29 nm crystallite size. FTIR spectroscopy demonstrates the characteristic functional groups validating the successful formation of the composite. The optical study of PMMA and the nanocomposites has proven that the optical properties such as band gap, refractive index, optical permittivity, and loss tangent factor are affected by adding CeO2 to the PMMA matrix.The peak residing around 420 nm by UV measurements is allocated to occurring electrons photoexcitation from the valence to conduction band inherent in CeO2. The dielectric measurements were achieved using broadband dielectric spectroscopy upon a wide span of frequencies (10–1–107 Hz) and within temperatures from − 10 to 80 °C with a step of 10 °C. The permittivity decreases by adding CeO2 and the dielectric parameters are thermally enhanced, however, the temperature influence is based on CeO2 content, the higher the CeO2 amount, the higher the influence of temperature. The results of the nanocomposites revealed antibacterial activity counter to gram-positive bacteria strain (S. aureus, and B. subtilis), and gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, and K. pneumoniae), yeast (C. albicans, as well as fungi (A. niger). Inherently, the change in CeO2 concentration from 0.01 to 0.1 wt% delivers maximum influence against gram-negative bacteria. These PMMA CeO2-doped composites are beneficial for optoelectronic areas and devices. |
