Abstract
Different contents of manganese oxide (MnO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) were combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form flexi MnO2/PVA as well as ZnO/PVA nanocomposite films. XRD as well SEM methodologies are used to evaluate the properties of the fabricated films. The XRD analysis demonstrates that MnO2/PVA as well as ZnO/PVA composites were effectively fabricated. The SEM pictures show that MnO2 and ZnO are uniformly dispersed throughout the PVA polymeric chains. Furthermore, the electrical conductivities, dielectric permittivity, electric moduli behaviors, as well as dielectric impedances of PVA, MnO2/PVA, ZnO/PVA films were recorded using LCR method in frequencies 102 to 106 Hz. At 105 Hz, the dielectric enhanced from 2.05 for PVA to 5.5 on PVA/5%ZnO and 4.15 for PVA/10%MnO2, while the conductivities increase from 1.05x10-7 S/cm for PVA to 4.01x10-7 S/cm for PVA/5%ZnO and to 5.4x10-7 S/cm for PVA/10%MnO2. The current work pave the way to using of ZnO/PVA and MnO2/PVA flexi nanocomposite films in a different uses including battery, super-capacitors, as well as storage devices.
