Abstract

 In the present work a novel polymer/metal oxide composites containing Polyvinyl  Chloride (PVC) and Ag2O nanoparticles (NP) were fabricated under room and elevated  temperatures. The PVC/Ag2O NC has been fabricated to enhance the electronic  application such as memory devices, sensors, electronic luminescent devices and  medical applications. The Ag2O NP was synthesized by dropwise mixing process  having 25 nm in size with spherical surface morphology. The Fourier transform  infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was taken for (1) virgin PVC film (2) PVC/Ag2O NC and  PVC/Ag2O (heat treated) Composites. The formation of absorbance peaks, their  shifting, intensity and maximum absorbance values were considered in all the three C C, C-Cl and C-H classified stretching modes of vibrations for different composites. It  was found in C-C stretch range the virgin PVC back bone chain occurs at 1101 cm-1 which shifted to 1076 cm-1 for PVC/Ag2O NC, further shift is evident for PVC/Ag2O  (heat treated) Composites at 1151 cm-1. In addition rocking vibration and wagging of  methylene group changes in the same fashion. The change in spectral feature takes  places due to filling of Ag2O NP in PVC matrix, indicates that changes in dipole moments occur as a result of molecular vibrations. It is also observed the absorbance  peaks value is high for virgin PVC film for all modes of stretching vibration, which  decreases for Ag2O/PVC (NC) further decrease is evident for Ag2O/PVC (NC) heat  treated composite.
