Physico-chemical properties of PVA-Nile blue (C20H20ClN3O) polymer composite structures for γ-ray protection: A comparative γ-ray irradiation studies

Development of Zn1−xBaxO nanoparticles reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) macromolecular nanocomposite films: Eco‐friendly integrated materials for optical systems

“…Practically, PVA possesses no interaction over the UV–Vis photon energy range (1.55–4.27) eV. Nonetheless, it displays characteristic absorbance band at λ max ⁓ 208 nm that could be associated with n ‐ π* optically instigated band transitions ascribed to its semi‐crystalline nature and arises due to the presence of carbonyl groups as reported in our earlier works 22 . Furthermore, all the composite films have demonstrated the characteristic optical inducements of PVA.…”

On loading with nanofiller content (1-5 wt%) into PVA polymer template, the films have shown higher response to photons.…”

One-dimentional periodic structure infiltrated by (PVA/CV + CF)-polymer for high-performance sensitivity

“…Radiations influence various materials by varying degrees, depending on the type of radiation, radiation dosage level, exposure time, material characteristics, environmental conditions, etc. (Chandrappa et al 2021;. Radiation dosimetry is the main point of much research due to the use of radiation in various applications (Baccini, et al 2019;Andreo, et al 2017).…”

“…This is due to their great optical properties, lightweight, and mechanical properties, as well as the fact that they are an excellent host material for composites (Hadi Al-kadhemy et al 2014;Ali Omer and Ali Bashir 2018). Most PVA works have composites that are sensitive to low or high-energy radiations, resulting in improved or degraded physicochemical qualities (Chandrappa et al 2021;Hadi Al-kadhemy et al 2014;Ibrahim et al 2021;Mir et al 2016;Sharaf et al 1995;Al-Kadhemy and Abass 2013;Raghuvanshi et al 2012;Antar 2014).…”

“…All of this eventually leads to degradation, color change, brittleness, hardness, etc. Where, the optical, thermal, mechanical, dielectric, and conductivity properties of radiation-exposed composite materials could be fine-tuned as a result of these structural alterations (Chandrappa et al 2021;Raouafi et al 2018). Many scientists have been studying the impact of irradiation on doped polymer composite materials to investigate their unique features (Hadi Al-kadhemy et al 2014;Ali Omer and Ali Bashir 2018;Al-Kadhemy and Abass 2013).…”
