In the present work, sol–gel‐synthesized titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to create polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) samples. The preparation was carried out via the solution casting method. The synthesized TiO2 NPs have a tetragonal anatase phase and an average grain size of 15.7 nm. XRD analysis reveals that the TiO2 NPs' addition to PVC/PMMA causes a decrease in the crystallinity of PNCs films. Infrared Fourier analysis demonstrated the interplay/complexity between the PVC/PMMA blend and TiO2 NPs. The UV/visible spectrum of the PVC/PMMA blend showed two absorbance peaks at 278 and 208 nm, which may result from the n → π* and π → π* transitions. Also, optical bandgaps for indirect and direct allowed transitions decreased with increasing TiO2 NPs concentration. The samples' AC electrical conductivity and dielectric properties were measured at room temperature. As the TiO2 NPs content in the nanocomposite rises, a percolating network begins to emerge inside the composite, demonstrating that AC electrical conductivity obeys Jonscher's law. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that nanoparticle concentration leads to a higher composite dielectric loss and dielectric constant. These findings suggest the possibility of using the prepared nanocomposites in capacitive energy storage and optoelectronic devices.Highlights PVC/PMMA‐TiO2 nanocomposites' films were fabricated via the solution casting method. Adding TiO2 NPs to PVC/PMMA reduces the crystallinity of the PNCs films. The allowed direct and indirect bandgaps decreased with rising TiO2 NPs content. AC conductivity, impedance, and dielectric characteristics were discussed. The findings indicate the use of prepared samples in optoelectronic devices.

“…In addition, nanoparticles are utilized to reinforce the polymer blends by overcoming their limitations [ 9 ], and the selection of these nanosheets as a dopant is controlled by the desirable application. The nanoparticle and polymer PVC/PVP blends are often subjected to hydrogen bonds through the hydroxyl group of PVP and nanoparticle surfaces [ 10 ]. Hydrogen bonds cause the enhancement in the optical and thermal properties of polymers nanocomposites [ 11 ].…”

The present work considers the integration of g-C3N4 nanosheets into PVC/PVP polymer nanocomposites at ratios of 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.0 wt%. The XRD data scans showed semicrystalline structures for all PVC/PVP/g-C3N4 polymer blend films. The FTIR and Raman measurements revealed intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the g-C3N4 surface and the OH− groups of the PVC/PVP network. ESEM morphology analysis for PVC/PVP/g-C3N4 nanocomposite films displayed homogeneous surface textures. The data of TGA showed improved thermal stability as the decomposition temperature increased from 262 to 276 °C with the content of g-C3N4 (0.0–1.0 wt%). The optical absorbance data for PVC/PVP films improved after the addition of g-C3N4. The optical energy gaps showed compositional dependence on the g-C3N4 content, which changed from 5.23 to 5.34 eV at indirect allowed transitions. The refractive index for these blend films enhanced (1.83–3.96) with the inclusion of g-C3N4. Moreover, the optical susceptibility for these nanocomposite films increased as the content of g-C3N4 changed from 0.0 to 1.0 wt%. Finally, the values of the nonlinear refractive index showed improvement with the increased percentage of g-C3N4. When g-C3N4 was added up to 1.0 wt%, the DC conductivity improved from 4.21 × 10−8 to 1.78 x 10−6 S/cm. The outcomes of this study prove the suitable application of PVC/PVP/g-C3N4 in optoelectronic fiber sensors.

Chitosan (Cs) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) blend films were created and incorporated with copper vanadate nanoparticles. The films were characterized using various techniques, including x‐ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance‐Fourier transform infrared (ATR‐FTIR), TEM, SEM, UV/vis spectroscopy, dielectric properties, and AC conductivity. The XRD analysis showed that the prepared films had amorphous characteristics. FT‐IR spectra indicated interactions between the Cs/HPC virgin polymers and copper vanadate nanoparticles. TEM analysis showed that the most prevalent size range of the nanoparticles was 20–60 nm. SEM micrographs revealed surface homogeneity at lower copper vanadate nanoparticle contents but increased inhomogeneity with higher contents. The prepared films showed a decrease in the optical energy gap and an increase in refractive index with increasing copper vanadate nanoparticle content. Copper vanadate nanoparticles enhance AC conductivity in Cs/HPC polymer blend. Dielectric analysis proved the suitability of the films for electroactive polymer applications.Highlights The casting process was used to prepare Cs/HPC—copper vanadate NPs films. XRD shows increased amorphousness post‐addition of copper vanadate NPs. SEM images revealed an increase in inhomogeneity with higher contents of copper vanadate NPs. The optical band gap decreased as the content of copper vanadate NPs increased. Copper vanadate nanoparticles greatly improve electrical conductivity and relaxation time.
