Calcium carbonate is widely used as a filler material both in plastics and in the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. In this study, the synthesis and characterization of calcium carbonate reinforced polyvinyl alcohol composite film is provided. The synthesized composite film was characterized by FTIR and UV-VIS spectroscopy, the properties of the film were determined by measuring pH and film thickness. Finally, the morphology of the composite film was analyzed by optical microscope. The results show that the polyvinyl alcohol/calcium carbonate composite film was successfully synthesized. According to the results of the optical microscope the calcium carbonate was homogenously dispersed into the film matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
