“…The XRD patterns Fig. (3) show a broad noncrystalline peak in 2θ range 25°-35° of PC/PMMA and nanocrystalline diffraction peaks in 2θ range 30°-70° of ZnO. This broadening is the signature of the polymeric nature of the samples and is also indicative of the fact that the material possesses short range order.…”

“…The dispersion of inorganic nanoparticles into the polymer matrix provides high-performance novel materials that find applications in many industrial fields due to their unique properties like high homogeneity, cost effective processability [1,2]. Polymer blend nanocomposites are attractive route for producing new polymeric materials with tailored properties without having to synthesize totally new materials [3,4]. The characteristics of these nanocomposite films can be manipulated by varying the polymer matrix, nanoparticles and their composition [5,6].…”

Present research work deals with the optical study of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) dispersed Polycarbonate/Polymethylmethacrylate (PC/PMMA) blend nanocomposites. ZnO nanoparticles have been prepared by simple chemical route and their average size has been confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The average particle size of the nanoparticles has been found to be ~11 nm. Formation of PC/PMMA blend nanocomposites has been confirmed by means of X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Absorption spectra, recorded using UV-Visible spectrophotometer, have been used to determine optical constants such as band gap, extinction coefficient, refractive index and real & imaginary part of dielectric constant. It has been found that band gap decreases as ZnO wt% increases in the blend nanocomposites. Lowest band gap has been found for PC25%/PMMA75% with ZnO 3 wt% blend nanocomposite. Increase in refractive index has also been found with increasing ZnO content. These types of blend nanocomposites have applications in UV-shielding and wave guide technologies.

“…Composite membranes, as flexible materials, have found various industrial and biomedical applications simultaneously; recent studies have shown an essential improvement in membrane properties by the inclusion of nanoparticles as fillers with a high portion ratio in inorganic polymers [1]. The combination of two parts (polymer and filler) is a result of collecting the advantages of two component systems' parts together [2], for example, flexibility, chemical stability, and elasticity, in addition to the mechanical and thermal stabilities [3]. Polymers, owing to their multipurpose and broad diversity of uses, have been making a global request.…”

The present investigation deals with the mechanical, structural, and optical properties of chemically fabricated nHAP (Nano hydroxyapatite) nanoparticles filled PC/PS blend nanocomposites. A sequence of PS/PC (100/0, 10%PC/PS, 0/100 wt%/wt %) and nHAP (0.8, 1.6, 3.2, 6.4, and 10 wt %) blend nanocomposites was prepared via solution casting technique. The prepared blend nanocomposites were exposed to XRD, SEM, and FTIR for structural analysis. The optical constants were analyzed utilizing UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD, SEM, and FTIR spectrum verified the formation of PC/PS-nHAP blend nanocomposites. The outcomes manifested that the optical constants change with the increase of nHPA concentrations. The mechanical properties were enhanced by the addition of nHAP up to (1.6). The enhancement in mechanical properties suggests that 10%PS/PC blends can be used for packaging material.

Summary:The presented work deals with the synthesis and thermal characterization of TiO 2 filled Polycarbonate/Polystyrene (PC/PS) blend nanocomposites. Nanoparticles of Titanium-dioxide have been synthesized by simple chemical method. Average grain size of as prepared nanoparticles have been determined by both TEM and XRD. Titanium-dioxide Filled Polycarbonate/Polystyrene blend nanocomposites have been prepared by solution casting method. The XRD pattern and FTIR spectrum confirm the formation of blend nanocomposites. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been used to study thermal properties. The DSC thermograms indicate that the glass transition temperature and hence thermal stability of nanocomposites enhances with addition of filler content.
