Investigate the Optical, Structural and electrochemical properties of PVC/PMMA/NiO blend films

Abstract

PVC/PMMA and PVC/PMMA/NiO blend films were prepared by solution casting technique. The FT-IR spectra confirms the change in the band structure and presence of hydrogen chlorine and Ni-O bond in the PVC/PMMA and NiO loaded blend film and XRD pattern reveals the formation of NiO phase in the PVC/PMMA polymer with exhibits the amorphous nature, it may increase the conductivity and stability of the material.The surface morphology shows the NiO homogeneously dispersed on the surface of PVC/PMMA matrix, and CV curve demonstrate that the rectangular shape at different scan rate from 10 mV/s to 50 mV/s. The PVC/PMMA/NiO 3% loaded polymer blend films shows the synergistic properties towards the electrochemical performance.

Incorporated TiO2 nanoparticles into PVC/PMMA polymer blend for enhancing the optical and electrical/dielectric properties: Hybrid nanocomposite films for flexible optoelectronic devices

“…Ishaq et al 20 concluded that the mechanical and thermal characteristics of the PVC/PMMA were enhanced through filling with 5% iron oxide NPs. Also, Basappa et al 21 examined the electrochemical, optical, and structural characteristics of PVC/PMMA/NiO films. Results confirmed clear signs of good miscibility between the PVC/PMMA and NiO‐loaded PVC/PMMA blend films.…”

Enhancing the microstructural, optical, and tensile properties of the PVC‐PMMA blend film: The role of PbO nanoparticles incorporation

“…As is shown, the absorption increases with the loading of PbO NPs within the blend matrix. In addition, there is an absorption band for most films located at 275 nm, which is attributed to electronic transitions with π–π* transitions 18 . It was observed that loading PbO NPs did not shift the band position.…”

“…In addition, there is an absorption band for most films located at 275 nm, which is attributed to electronic transitions with π-π* transitions. 18 It was observed that loading PbO NPs did not shift the band position. Finally, this band could be coming from the unsaturated bonds (such as C O) in the studied films.…”

“…PVC-PMMA-NiO films were prepared. 18 The optical properties reveal that the absorption peaks of the blend decreased with NiO loading and the NiO band slightly increased towards the higher wavelengths with increasing the NiO ratio. Other researchers study the recycled PVC-PMMA blend's mechanical characteristics.…”

“…SEM confirmed the partial compatibility between the blend and NPs, and finally, the optical energy gap decreased with loading. PVC‐PMMA‐NiO films were prepared 18 . The optical properties reveal that the absorption peaks of the blend decreased with NiO loading and the NiO band slightly increased towards the higher wavelengths with increasing the NiO ratio.…”
