- Abstract
Fabrication of polyvinyl alcohol–polyethylene glycol–yttrium oxide nanocomposites and their structure and UV-characterizations for antibacterial applications are investigated. The PVA–PEG–Y2O3 nanocomposites are prepared with different concentrations of yttrium oxide nanoparticles and polymers. The results show that the optical parameters of blend are increasing while energy-gap decreases with an increase of yttrium oxide content. The results of optical characterization indicate that the PVA– PEG–Y2O3 nanocomposites may be used as high-activity antibacterial materials.
