Siliconerubber is widely used in damaged maxillofacial affected areas replacementsurgery as bio material. The aim of this research, prepared a nano compositesmaterials, from polymer blend (silicone rubber: 5% PMMA) reinforced bydifferent types of nano-powders; pomegranate Peels Powder (PPP), Seedspowder of dates Ajwa (SPDA) and TiO2 nano-powders with loading level (0.0,0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4%). Some physical properties such as density, waterabsorption, and Thermo-Physical test, FTIR analysis, as well as, FTIR,antibacterial tests were done on prepared samples. The results showed thatthe composites material based of polymer blend with optimum percent are of0.2% of pomegranate Peels Powder (PPP), 0.3% of Seeds powder of datesAjwa (SPDA) and 0.1% of TiO2 nano-powders that have ideal characteristic.Also for antibacterial tests, polymeric blend composites with optimum percentof this nano-powders show that more antibacterial efficiency against S.aureusbacteria than E.coli bacteria.
