The presented work deals with the structural and optical properties of chemically synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles filled PC/PS blend nanocomposites. A series of PC/PS (100/0, 50/50, 0/100 wt%/wt %) -TiO2 (1, 2, 3 wt %) blend nanocomposites have been prepared by solution casting method. Prepared blend nanocomposites have been subjected to XRD, SEM and FTIR for structural analysis. Optical constants have been analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD, SEM and FTIR spectrum confirms the formation of PC/PS-TiO2 blend nanocomposites. Results reveal the decrease in band gap and enhancement in optical constants like, extinction coefficient, refractive index and dielectric constants of blend nanocomposites with nanofiller TiO2 content.

In this work, study the optical properties of composites consisting of poly Methyl Methacrylate and Berry Paper Mulberry. The samples of composites were prepared using casting method .The Berry Paper Mulberry (BPM) was added by different concentrations are (0, 2, 4 and 6)wt.%. The optical properties of composites have been studied in the wavelength range (200-800)nm. The absorption coefficient ,energy gap, refractive index, extinction coefficient and dielectric constants have been determined. The results show that the optical constants change with increase of BPM concentrations .

Stereocomplexation is one of several approaches for improving polylactide (PLA) properties. The high molecular weight of poly L-lactide (PLLA) and poly D-lactide (PDLA) homopolymers are a constraint during the formation of stereocomplex PLAs (s-PLAs). The presence of s-PLA particles in PLA PLLA/PDLA blends can initiate the formation of s-PLA crystalline structures. We used the solution casting method to study the utilization of s-PLA materials from high molecular weight PLLA/PDLA blends for increasing s-PLA formation. The s-PLA particles initiated the formation of high molecular weight PLLA/PDLA blends, obtaining 49.13% s-PLA and 44.34% of the total crystalline fraction. In addition, the mechanical properties were enhanced through s-PLA crystalline formation and the increasing of total crystallinity of the PLLA/PDLA blends. The s-PLA particles supported initiation for s-PLA formation and acted as a nucleating agent for PLA homopolymers. These unique characteristics of s-PLA particles show potential to overcome the molecular weight limitation for stereocomplexation of PLLA/PDLA blends.

In this study preparing and investigating of the (PVA/PVP:Sr2NO3) nanocomposites films by using casting method with different concentration of Sr2NO3 as (0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt. %). Optical properties obtained by UV-Vis spectrometer, OM and FTIR spectra have been revealed in this study, the absorbance increased by increasing of Sr2NO3 nanoparticles concentrations, the energy-gap (allowed and forbidden) transitions decreased by increasing of the nanoparticles concentration.

The development of biopolymer electrolytes based on methylcellulose (MC) has been accomplished by incorporating ammonium bromide (NB) to the polymer-salt system. The biopolymer electrolytes were prepared via solution-casting method. The conductivity and permittivity characteristics of the material were studied. The biopolymer-salt complex formation have been analysed through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The conductivity of the sample was measured by EIS HIOKI. Upon addition of 20 wt.% of NB, highest conductivity of 3.25×10-4 μScm-1 was achieved at ambient temperature. The temperature dependence of the biopolymer electrolytes exhibit Arrhenius behaviour. This result had been further proven in FTIR study.
