Title : Structural and optical properties of flexible polymer nanocomposites films for optoelectronics applications

Abstract:

This work investigates the impact of inorganic nanofillers on the optical properties of polymeric nanocomposite films intended for application in optoelectronic devices. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy are employed to analyze the films and ascertain their characteristics. The optical energy band tails and bandgap of all films were measured. The FTIR peaks suggest the presence of inorganic nanoparticles attached to the polymer chains, while XRD confirmed the effective creation of the polymeric composite films. SEM images have demonstrated that the nanofiller is evenly loaded and dispersed throughout the polymeric layer. Furthermore, the refractive index, extinction coefficients, and dispersion characteristics were determined for all films. Based on these discoveries, artificially created composite films have potential applications in several domains, such as battery technology, super-capacitors, detectors, and optoelectronics.

Audience Take Away Notes:

  • The presentation will provide an overview of flexible polymer nanocomposite films
  • The optical properties of the nanocomposite films will be a focus of the presentation. The audience will learn about the film's transparency, light absorption, and emission characteristics
  • The presentation will highlight the potential applications of flexible polymer nanocomposite films in optoelectronics
