Abstract:Introducing graphene (G) into the polymer matrix is supposed to improve both the electrical and optical characteristics, especially in space applications. To study the effect of metal oxide and G on PVC, a matrix of PVC/ZnO/G nanocomposite was prepared and studied using different spectroscopic techniques. As a consequence, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra for PVC/ZnO/G revealed two significant bands at 1596 cm-1 and 515 cm-1, G and ZnO, respectively, confirming the composite synthesis. Also, X-ray… Show more
