Polymer nanocomposites comprising PVA matrix and AgGaO2 nanofillers: Probing the effect of intercalation on optical and dielectric response for optoelectronic applications

Objectives: Synthesis of hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) and intercalation as prepared NPs inside polymer matrix to fabricate nanocomposites (NC) evaluate the optoelectronic properties. Method: A simple, time consuming solution combustion method was used synthesize silver doped gallium oxide (AgGaO2) NPs. The casting process employed prepare NC films poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with inclusion AgGaO2 nanofiller. Finding: analytical technique such Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy differential calorimetry analyses were analyze PVA/AgGaO2 films. findings various characterization approaches showed that morphological, structural thermal characteristics had improved, well confirms existence in PVA matrix. Furthermore, dielectric studied using an LCR meter at frequencies (50 Hz–1 MHz). With intercalating four different wt% content 0.5, 1, 2 4 constant loss wt % incorporated 112.1 51.5 respectively. Novelty: This improvement revealed uniform distribution effective interaction active site chains. preceding demonstrated obtained NCs promising materials for flexible energy storage UV-shielding applications.
