Abstract |
|
In this research study, Polycarbonate (PC) was incorporated with ZnS powder and various composites were made by changing the ZnS content. The composites of polycarbonate and ZnS were prepared by solution casting technique. Incorporation of low levels of ZnS into polycarbonate matrix can often lead to an increase in the optical and crystalline properties. The developed samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction technique. The XRD study explores that the crystallinity peaks are occurring from 2θ= 10º to 40º and shows that the crystallinity factor of PC composites is influenced by the interaction occurring between the PC and the ZnS particle. The decrease in the crystallite size is observed with increase in the crystallinity index. The addition of ZnS powder in the poly vinyl alcohol can be developed as a composite with improved/enhanced crystalline properties. |
