An Efficient Preparation and Characterization of Nanocomposite Films Based on Poly(Vinyl Chloride) and Modified Zno Quantum Dot with an Optically Active Diacid Containing Amino Acid as Coupling Agent

Abstract

The nanocomposites were manufactured by the incorporation of modified ZnO into the poly(vinyl chloride). ZnO nanoparticles were modified with diacid (DA) containing alanine amino acid. Ultrasonic irradiation was used for all process. The PVC/ZnO@DA NCs were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and mechanical analysis. Results showed the uniform dispersion of particles in the polymer matrix and ZnO@DA nanoparticles in quantum dot size. The optical properties of PVC were affected by the incorporation of modified quantum dot ZnO; also mechanical properties of PVC/ZnO@DA nanocomposites were improved.
