Abstract
Nanocomposites of polymer material based on CdS as fillermaterial and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) as host matrix havebeen fabricated by chemical spray pyrolysis method on glasssubstrate. CdS particles synthesized by co-precipitation route usingcadimium chloride and thioacetamide as starting materials andammonium hydroxide as precipitating agent. The structure isexamined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the resultant film hasamorphous structure. The optical energy gap is found to be (4.5,4.06) eV before and after CdS addition, respectively. Electricalactivation energy for CdS/PMMA has two regions with values of0.079 and 0.433 eV.
Highlights
The study of polymer nanocomposites (PNC) is a fast growing area of research
The fabrication of polymer nano-composites (PNC) is an integral aspect of polymer nanotechnology. These PNC are composed of two main parts, filler and host matrix
The inorganic particles, having at least one dimension less than 100 nm, are acted as filler and these particles dispersed in polymer, which acts as host matrix
Summary
The study of polymer nanocomposites (PNC) is a fast growing area of research. The fabrication of polymer nano-composites (PNC) is an integral aspect of polymer nanotechnology. These PNC are composed of two main parts, filler and host matrix. The inorganic particles, having at least one dimension less than 100 nm, are acted as filler and these particles dispersed in polymer, which acts as host matrix. Many efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of polymer nano-composite materials due to their synergistic and hybrid properties [1]. The properties of polymer nano-composite (PNC) mainly depend upon filler material and host matrix. The PNC’s show almost all properties of their parent materials together with some additional properties like chemical stability, improved moldability etc
