  Effect of Zr, Fe Mono, Bimetallic Nanoparticles on the Electronic Properties of PVA/PVP Polymer blend

  By N. Anitha, R. Praveen, D. Madhuri, Madhukar Katakam

  Abstract: AbstractThis paper describes the environmentally friendly production of polymer blend nanocomposites (PBNCs) made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and embedded with Zirconium(ZrO2), Iron (Fe2O3), and Zirconium-Iron (Zr-Fe), mono and bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs). FTIR spectroscopy was used to investigate the blend's development, interaction between polymers and nanoparticles, interactions between polymers and one another, and the impact of nanoparticles on interactions within PVA/PVP blend nanocomposites. With the addition of nanoparticles …

  Advanced Functional Nanocomposites: Graphene Oxide Integration into Polyvinyl Alcohol Matrix

  By Indradeep Kumar, Nandakumar V, R.Kiruthika, Santhi M George, T. Himaja, M.V. Someswararao, Shankramma S. Kerur, V Saravanan, Velmurugan Paramasivam

  Abstract: This research explores how incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can improve its mechanical and thermal characteristics, with the goal of creating multifunctional nanocomposites suitable for advanced technological applications. GO was introduced into the PVA matrix at 0.5, 1, and 2 wt% via a scalable solution casting method. The resulting nanocomposites were characterized mechanically, thermally, and spectroscopically. Tensile testing revealed a significant improvement in mechanical performance, with tensile …
