Photonic Polymer Composites for Light-Modulating Displays and High-Throughput Optical Data TransmissionBy S. Baskar, Santosh Kumar Sahu, Mayur Dilip Jakhete, R. Ben Ruben, G. Hima Bindu, Makrand Jadhav, Avinash Kumar, L. Ganesh Babu
Abstract: The combination of PMMA-based composites recently received substantial attention from the photonic applications field since these materials combine excellent optical transparency, mechanical flexibility and straightforward fabrication capabilities. The material performance of pure PMMA requires functional additives because it shows limited thermal properties and optical attenuation in addition to sensitivity against UV rays. The research explores developmental pathways for PMMA composites through combined use of nanoparticles and electro-optic polymers with dopants …

Hybrid Polymer Nanocomposites with Enhanced Dielectric and Optical Properties for Wireless Communication SystemsBy S.Baskar, Santosh Kumar Sahu, Mayur Dilip Jakhete, R Ben Ruben, G Hima Bindu, Makrand Jadhav, Avinash Kumar, L.Ganesh Babu
Abstract: The incorporation of nanofillers into polymer matrices offers a promising approach to enhancing the multifunctional properties of composite materials. This study examines the effect of nanofiller concentration on the dielectric performance, mechanical strength, thermal stability, optical absorbance, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based nanocomposites. Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofillers were incorporated at varying concentrations to assess their influence on material properties. EMI shielding …
