Abstract
Polymer composite films of chitosan doped with different weight ratios of fullerene (1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) were prepared using solution casting method. Thermogravimetric analysis of chitosan with different concentration of with different weight ratios of fullerene films was analyzed. Dielectric measurements and UV-visible spectroscopy were used to investigate the dielectric properties and optical characteristics (refractive index, absorption coefficient, optical band gap, and specific polarizability) of the chitosan/fullerene composites films, respectively.
