Abstract

Structural, Optical and Electrical conductivity Studies of Mn2+ Ions Doped PVAMAAEA Polymer Blend Films

Highlights

  • In the field of polymer or polymer blend additives, lot of research work has been carried out earlier towards the development and modification of innovative materials of significant importance

  • Optical absorption edge and optical band gap showed decreasing trend with increasing dopant concentration, indicating that with increase in concentration of Mn2+, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Methacrylic Acid- Ethyl Acrylate (MAA):EA polymer blend film becomes more semiconducting in nature

  • Pure and Mn2+ ions doped PVA/MAA:EA polymer blend films were successfully prepared by solution casting technique and were characterised by various techniques

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In the field of polymer or polymer blend additives, lot of research work has been carried out earlier towards the development and modification of innovative materials of significant importance. An important feature of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is the presence of crystalline and amorphous regions and its physical properties which are resulting from crystal amorphous interfacial effects [3], the presence of OH groups and the hydrogen bond formation This explains various phenomena in electronics, optics and solid state physics. The present work is focused on the preparation and characterization e.g. structural, spectroscopic and electrical of PVA/MAA:EA polymer blend films doped with Manganese by the cost effective simple solution casting method. Related work section elaborates on some work done by the various researchers on thermal, structural, optical and electrical studies of pure and doped PVA/MAA:EA polymer blend films. Results and Discussion section provides a brief details on the various characterization of Mn2+ ions doped PVA/MAA:EA polymer blend films and the analysis.
