This technique involved adding 20% titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) to a combination of PMMA and PVA in terms of weight percentages. The physical properties of prepared nanocomposite have been examined by using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction technique XRD, Fourier transformed infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and UV–Vis spectroscopy. XRD patterns specified that the prepared composite was mostly crystalline in nature. Scanning electron micrograph showed that TiO 2 nanoparticles were covered with a polymer blend matrix. FTIR results confirmed the presence of PVA and PMMA groups on the surface of TiO 2 NPs. The MTT assay method was utilized on the MSF-7 cell line in order to evaluate the potential anticancer properties of the produced components. The nanocomposites showed good activity on cancer cells.Read More
