Abstract

Optical properties of pure Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ZnO doped composite films have been investigated. The composite samples of various concentrations were prepared by the well known solution casting method. The characterization of films were carried out using UV-VIS spectroscopy and Refractive index. The UV-VIS result shows that the absorbance of the samples is greatly affected by variation of concentration of zinc oxide (ZnO) particles. The optical band energy gap of pure and composite samples have calculated and reported. The refractive index result shows the variation in refractive index with wavelengths and with different concentrations of ZnO.
