Abstract |
|
|
| One of the methods used to fabricate composites is the solution casting procedure. We synthesized composite with different VCl3 concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 17.5 %) doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films. Ligand field theory was used for identifying the structural properties. Results show an enhancement of the optical and. mechanical strength with raising the VCl3 loads. The influence of rays on the optical and mechanical character was presented. The VCl3 is well dispersed into the PVA matrix leading to an enhanced material. Also, the addition of VCl3 procedure was employed to evaluate the mechanical properties of composites. Besides, the hardness of the composite samples showed a non-monotonic trend with raising the dose up to 150 kGy. This could be due to the preceding of cross-linking process in the composite that improves its optical and mechanical properties that allows PVA/VCl3 to be suitable candidate for optoelectronics device applications. |
