Abstract |
The current paper explores the preparation of PVA composites by doping it with zinc oxide (ZnO) using the solvent casting technique. The samples of pure PVA and ZnO incorporated in PVA polymer blends, with various weight proportions have been prepared. The X-ray diffraction study has been carried out on prepared samples. The XRD study explores that the average crystallite size of the synthesized blends varies from 40 Ã… to 62 Ã… and shows that the crystallinity factor of PVA composites is influenced by the interaction occurring between the PVA and the ZnO particle. The decrease in the crystallite size is observed with increase in the crystallinity index. The addition of ZnO powder in the poly vinyl alcohol can be developed as a composite with improved/enhanced crystalline properties. |
