Abstract

Fabrication of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend doped with tin dioxide (SnO2) nanocomposites has been investigated for flexible electrical and optical applications. The prepared nanocomposites have low cost, lightweight, flexible, high corrosion resistance, good optical and electrical properties. These properties of fabricated nanocomposites make it useful for different optoelectronics applications such as: sensors, solar cells, transistors, diodes, capacitors, energy storage etc. The structural, optical and electrical properties of (PVA–PEO–SnO2) nanocomposites have been studied. The experimental results of optical properties for (PVA–PEO–SnO2) nanocomposites showed that the nanocomposites have higher absorbance in UV region at wavelength range (200–280) nm. This behavior makes the nanocomposites may be used for optoelectronics applications. The absorbance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, real and imaginary dielectric constants and optical conductivity of polymer blend are increased with the increase in SnO2 nanoparticles concentrations while the transmittance and energy band gap are decreased with the increase in SnO2 nanoparticles concentrations. The decrease in energy band gap is useful for different optoelectronics devices industries. Also, the results showed that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss decrease while the conductivity increases with the increase in frequency. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and conductivity are increased with the increase in SnO2 nanoparticles concentrations. The electrical properties showed that the (PVA–PEO–SnO2) nanocomposites have good dielectric parameters which it may be used for different electronics applications.
