The optical properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer nanocomposite films incorporating SrTiO/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as nanofillers are investigated. PVDF/SrTiO/CNTs films were prepared by the solution casting technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses confirmed the incorporation of SrTiO/CNTs into the PVDF matrix. The addition of nanofillers influenced the crystalline structure, morphology, and optical properties of the films. SEM images showed spherulite morphology, which is a spherical aggregate of crystalline polymer chains. The addition of a SrTiO/CNTs nanofiller modified the polymer's electronic structure, causing a variation in the energy gap. The addition of SrTiO/CNTs at 0.1 wt% increased the band gap, refractive index, and nonlinear optical properties of the PVDF films. These improvements indicate the potential of these nanocomposite films in optoelectronic applications such as solar cells, image sensors, and organic light-emitting diodes.
研究了以钛酸锶/碳纳米管(CNTs)作为纳米填料的聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)聚合物纳米复合薄膜的光学性质。采用溶液浇铸技术制备了PVDF/钛酸锶/碳纳米管薄膜。X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析证实了钛酸锶/碳纳米管已掺入PVDF基体中。纳米填料的添加影响了薄膜的晶体结构、形态和光学性质。SEM图像显示出球晶形态,这是结晶聚合物链的球形聚集体。钛酸锶/碳纳米管纳米填料的添加改变了聚合物的电子结构,导致能隙发生变化。添加0.1 wt%的钛酸锶/碳纳米管提高了PVDF薄膜的带隙、折射率和非线性光学性质。这些改进表明这些纳米复合薄膜在太阳能电池、图像传感器和有机发光二极管等光电子应用中的潜力。
