Abstract
In this paper, fabrication of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/tin dioxide nanoparticles (SnO 2 NPs) nanocomposites for UV-shielding is investigated. The structural and optical properties of (PVA-SnO 2 ) nanocomposites are studied. The results of optical properties for (PVA-SnO 2 ) nanocomposites show that the absorbance (A), absorption coefficient (), extinction coefficient (K), refractive index (n), real ( 1 ) and imaginary ( 2 ) parts of dielectric constant, and optical conductivity ( op ) of PVA increase, while transmittance (T) and energy band gap (E g ) decrease with an increase in SnO 2 nanoparticles' concentration. The results show that (PVA-SnO 2 ) nanocomposites can be used for flexible electronics applications.
