Abstract
This study investigates the effect of varying loading percentages of MgO on the topography and morphology of Poly (vinylideneflouride)/Magnesium Oxide (PVDF/MgO) nanocomposites thin films. PVDF/MgO nanocomposites spin coated thin films with thicknesses ranging from 200nm to 456nm were successfully characterized. The nanocomposite solutions were spin coated on Al-glass substrates at 1500rpm. The topography and surface roughness of PVDF/MgO nanocomposites were characterized by using AFM. FE-SEM was used to investigate the surface morphology of the nanocomposites thin films and ATR-FTIR was used to determine the chemical bonding of PVDF/MgO nanocomposites. MgO (7%) was found to be the optimum loading percentage for PVDF/MgO nanocomposite film with favorable distribution of MgO particles, minimum defects and high content of β-phase as evident by FESEM and FTIR.
