Abstract:
In this work, preparation of PVA/ZrC nanostructures and studying the optical properties to employ in different optical fields. The PVA/ZrC nanostructures were fabricated using casting method. The optical properties were measured at wavelength ranged from 200 nm to 800 nm. Results showed that the absorbance(A) of polymer was rise while the transmittance (T) was reduced with rise in the ZrC NPs ratio. The energy gap(Eg) was reduced as the ZrC NPs ratio rises. Also, the results of optical properties indicated that the PVA/ZrC nanocomposites have high absorption at UV region.
