“…Our findings are in line with those of Ayaz et al 62 when they load CuO NPs onto PVC‐PMMA blend films, and Chuayjuljit et al 67 when loading TiO 2 NPs, and finally with Ishaq et al 64 when loading iron (III) oxide nanoparticles to the same blend. The improvement in the tensile properties of PNC films gives them the potential to be used in some engineering applications and supports their potential usage in the fabrication of lenses or antireflective coatings for solar cells.…”

PVC‐PMMA and PVC‐PMMA‐PbO PNC films were prepared. HR‐TEM confirmed the nanoparticle structure of PbO, while XRD assured its purity, tetragonal structure, with crystallites measuring 35.71 nm. SEM showed the blend surface appeared smooth and homogenous with a fingerprint shape, and loading increased the surface roughness. PbO was reported to be evenly distributed across the blend surface. FTIR confirmed that all blend functional groups are present and the formation of hydrogen bonds between PVC and PMMA, besides the strong interactions between PbO and blend chains. Different optical constants were investigated using UV–vis‐IR spectroscopy. The transmittance of the blend was 81.99% and decreased to 48.14% after loading 4 wt.% PbO (at 500 nm). Loading causes an increase in absorption. The extinction coefficient shows low extinction coefficients (k < 10−6). Loading PbO narrowed the blend band gaps and increased the refractive index n. The carrier's concentration to the electron effective mass was reported. Optical conductivity, energy loss functions, and nonlinear optical parameters were also studied. Tensile properties revealed that loading increased Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break. The enhancements in optical and mechanical characteristics of PNC films illustrate the possibility of extending their applications to include the semiconductor, electronics, and optics industries.

“…This new peak reinforces the existence of TiO 2 NPs in the pure PVA/SA system and means a variation in the crystalline behavior of the pure PVA/SA. Other studies [39][40][41] loading NiO or GeO 2 NPs in a PVC/PMMA blend revealed the emergence of nanofiller peaks in the blending pattern. When compared to the XRD pattern of CNTs/TiO 2 , the intensities of CNTs/TiO 2 peaks in the polymer nanocomposites films dropped, due to the very low content of the CNTs/TiO 2 in the blend matrix, and the CNTs/TiO 2 was finely dispersed in the blend matrix.…”

Summary In this system, the solvent casting technique was used to prepare polymer nanocomposites from the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/TiO2 nanoparticles (as nanofiller)‐doped polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate (PVA/SA) blend. The modification in the structure of the nanocomposites is proved by the studies of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis evidenced that the MWCNTs/TiO2 nanoparticles were incorporated in the PVA/SA polymer. The optical energy gap of the polymer blend is reduced after incorporating the MWCNTs/TiO2. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has demonstrated the nanocomposites' excellent thermal stability compared to pure blend, as well as its enhancement with the addition of MWCNTs/TiO2 nanoparticles. The AC conductivity and dielectric properties of the nanocomposite enhanced as compared to pure PVA/SA. Also, the electrical properties were higher due to the loading of MWCNTs/TiO2 nanoparticles. The increase in elongation at the break and higher tensile strength of nanocomposites compared to pure polymer blends suggested that MWCNTs/TiO2 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix provided greater reinforcement. Thus, it was generally concluded that the polymer nanocomposite is better than the pure blend due to its superior dielectric constant, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties, which make them useful in the manufacture of nanoelectronic devices of high energy storage.

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.
