UV filter is an interesting and challenging application in industries. Hence, ZnO-PMMA nanocomposite thin films have been chosen to achieve above mentioned characteristics [1]. In this study, fabrication of ZnO on PMMA glass substrate successfully prepared by using the solution-immersion method. Layer by layer of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was deposited on a glass substrate using the spin coating technique by dissolving PMMA in toluene. Various layers of PMMA were varied to 1, 3, 5 and 7 layers. The structural and optical properties of ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite were then characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Photoluminescene (PL) Spectroscopy. From FESEM result, shape of nanorod unclearly seen as the layer deposited of PMMA increase and from EDAX show oxygen element have highest atomic percentage 65.50 %. 7 layer of deposited PMMA show highest intensity compare to other layers in green region at 577.32 nm for PL measurement.

Synthesis of nanostructured ZnO by an environmentally-friendly method thus applying water as the major media is the aim in solution-immersion method. In this paper, the effect of three types of seeded template to the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanostructures grown by the Solution-Immersion method is investigated. The primary template is glass, seeded with three types of thin films i.e. TiO2 by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at 200 W (ZnO/TiO2), a layer of PMMA by spin-coating (ZnO/PMMA) and ZnO grown by the mist-atomization method (ZnO/ZnO). The morphology and optical properties will be investigated by FESEM, PL and UV-Vis.

Tin-doped Zinc Oxide (Sn-doped ZnO) thin films were prepared using zinc acetate dehydrate as a starting material by sol-gel immersion method. The doping concentrations were varied at 0 at.%, 1.0 at.%, 2.0 at.% and 3.0 at.%. The synthesized samples were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM).
