Abstract

The present work goals to fabricate of silicon carbide (SiC)/cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanostructures loaded poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) as future nanocomposite to apply in various promising optical and nanoelectronics applications. The structural and optical properties of PMMA/SiC/CdS nanostructures were tested. The obtained results showed that the absorbance of PMMA increased of 23.2% at λ = 240 nm, λ = 32.1% at λ = 540 nm and 34.7% at λ = 840 nm while the transmittance reduced with increasing of the SiC/CdS NPs content of 5.7 wt%. The indirect energy gap of PMMA reduced from 3.95 to 3.48 eV for allowed transition and from 3.82 to 3.2 eV when the SiC/CdS NPs content reached of 5.7 wt%, and these results make them are useful for optical and nanoelectronics fields. The other optical parameters of PMMA enhanced with rising the SiC/CdS NPs content. Finally, the results confirmed that the PMMA/SiC/CdS nanostructures can be considered as future nanocomposite to utilize in different promising optical and nanoelectronics applications.
