Abstract

The aim of the work is to demonstrate the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the thermal stability and dielectric performance of a PMMA matrix. PMMA-ZnO nanocomposite films were prepared by varying the concentration of ZnO ranging from 1 to 9 wt %. The XRD spectrum reveals the coexistence of hexagonal-phase ZnO and the amorphous PMMA. Optical energy band gap of 3.89–3.93 eV for PMMA-ZnO nanocomposite films is found due to the involvement of ZnO excitonic state transition. Thermogravimetry Technique Analysis (TGA) along with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is employed to assess the thermal response of all nanocomposites up to 600 °C. The TG study demonstrates improved thermal stability of PMMA-ZnO films compared to pure PMMA film. In PMMA -ZnO nanocomposite films, all the three-stage degradation have been improved even at high temperature reaching up to 590 °C. Further, kinetic thermodynamic parameters are calculated and interpreted to show significance of ZnO nanofillers in PMMA matrix. High dielectric constant and low dielectric loss for 7 wt% ZnO in PMMA matrix have been found and mechanism of dielectric polarization is elucidated through Cole-Cole plots.

期刊介绍： Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged. A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions. The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
