Abstract

Poly (Vinyl alcohol) metal (PVA-Ag-Cr) nanocomposites were prepared by a slow evaporation method with the help of a refluxing procedure. The effect of alkali perchlorate (Li/Na/K-QlO4) salts embedded in PVA-metal nanocomposites were analysed with SEM, XRD, EPR, and optical techniques. The surface structure and topology of the synthesized composites were studied using scanning electron microscopy. The crystallinity of the prepared polymer films has been determined using the X-ray diffraction pattern. Existing changes in some diffraction angle with the alkali salts results the fluctuations in the degree of crystallinity. EPR studies reveal the ‘g’ values at 1.96, 1.93, and 1.98 due to the oxidation exchange-coupled pair. The observed absorption spectra of Cr3+ ions corresponding to Li, Na & KClO4 salts in PVAAgSe polymer films revealed the band positions centered at 220, 275, 480, 535, and 1030 nm of all the alkali chlorates with small shifting in-band positions. This may be due to the inter/intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
