Manufacturing and Enhancing the Features of PS/SiO2–CeO2 Nanostructures for Energy Storage and Antimicrobials Applications
摘要
In the current work, films of PS/SiO2–CeO2 futuristic nanocomposites were fabricated to apply in numerous nanoelectronics, energy storage and biomedical fields. The microstructure, morphological and dielectric features of PS/SiO2–CeO2 films were investigated. The obtained results showed that the dielectric constant increased from 3.13 to 3.94 with the increase of (SiO2–CeO2) NPs content at 100 Hz and its decreased with the increase of frequency, while the electrical conductivity was increased to 1.53E-11 S/cm with the increase of (SiO2–CeO2) NPs content at 100 Hz and its increased with the increase of frequency. These results are welcomed in many energy storage and nanoelectronic applications The antibacterial application of PS/SiO2–CeO2 nanocomposites were tested against both Gram-positive(Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli). The obtained result was that the diameter of the inhibition zone was increased with the increase of (SiO2–CeO2) NPs content. Finally, the PS/SiO2–CeO2 nanocomposite showed excellent dielectric properties and high activity for antibacterial compared with other nanocomposites which make them as promising materials for energy storage and biomedical fields.
