Abstract
This Paper presents the results of the Polymer-Inorganic (PVA-ZnO) composite thin films were prepared by solution casting method, the samples were characterized by different characterization techniques by XRD, FTIR, UV– visible spectroscopy, Mechanical and Morphological. Also, we had studied the optical properties of PVA/ZnO composites based on ZnO as inorganic filler material and PVA as the main matrix. The main aim is to prepare Poly Polyvinyl alcohol/Zinc Oxide nanoparticles biopolymer nanocomposite (PVA/ZnO) and to study its behaviour for different concentrations of ZnO. Here, ZnO of average size 100 nm was used. The physical, mechanical, surface, and antibacterial properties of PVA/ZnO (100 nm) Bio thin films have been discussed in detail here and how the physical modifications of PVA, due to ZnO incorporation, will bring changes in the other properties.
