Abstract

PVA, Chitosan film containing metal oxide nanocomposites (MONC) or chalcone moiety, prepared with a thickness of around 0.03 cm. Different molecular weights of MONC are used for the preparation of different polymer composite films. FT-IR, XRD, XPS, EDX, and TGA techniques were used to characterise the prepared film. Semicrystalline (40–150 nm) behaviour is observed for prepared film, which is confirmed by XRD, and the film undergoes multistage decomposition on heating, confirmed by TGA. SEM analysis concludes the film has a blooming flower like structure on the surface. Different elements of the polymer and dopant were confirmed using XPS and EDX analysis. FT-IR analysis suggests that there is no chemical interaction between the polymer and the hosting materials. The film shows a AC conductivity value of 1.36 × 10−5 Scm−1, and it shows higher dielectric properties.
