Structural and electromechanical behavior evaluation of polymer-copper nanocomposites

Polyvinyl alcohol: A review of research status and use of polyvinyl alcohol based nanocomposites

“…The nanocomposites might be used for optical dispersion devices . Nasar et al fabricated copper NPs by chemical reduction of copper nitrate. The NPs were dispersed in a PVA matrix and used to prepare Cu‐PVA nanocomposite films at various compositions.…”

“…The Young's modulus and elongation at break were increased while tensile strength decreased at higher Cu contents. It was suggested that the prepared films might be used in charge storage devices . Perez et al incorporated gold nanorods homogenously in thin PVA films and aligned the nanorods using physical means of heating and stretching the films.…”

Structural, Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Sputter Coated Copper Thin Films on Poly Ethylene Terephthalate 

“…The mechanical properties such as Young's modulus and adhesion force are investigated using AFM in contact mode for AFM tip interaction with PET surface [37]. The adhesion force and Young's modulus of Cu on PET are shown in Fig.6 and listed in Table 1 [38].…”

“…Beyond that value of coating, there occurs a decrease in the degree of adhesion, and hence the composites would adopt a lesser elastic behavior. At a further increase of CuNPs concentration, the CuNPs tend to interact among themselves through their electronic cloud, this results in overall in uence in elastic as well as mechanical properties behavior [38].…”

Magnesium Ferrite/Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Nanocomposites: Fabrication and Characterization

“…Generally the ferrite materials are cheap, stable and possess numerous applications related to technological and industrial fields (Davachi et al, 2016). They are used as microwave absorbers such as gas sensors (Balgis, Iskandar, Ogi, Purwanto, & Okuyama, 2011), isolators, gyrators, phase shifters, radio wave circuits, electronic equipment (Nasar et al, 2016), electrode materials, microwave dark rooms and protection, magneto-optical storage media manufacturing phenomena, optics and conducting adhesive materials, high density digital recording discs, spintronics (Mohamed, Rashad, Haraz, & Sigmund, 2010), noise filters (Chitra, Muthusamy, Dineshkumar, Jayaprakash, & Chandrasekar, 2015), hyperthermia (Jaberolansar, Kameli, Ahmadvand, & Salamati, 2016) high performance engineering materials and compact power supplies (Xiao, Liu, & Fu, 2006).…”
