Abstract
This study investigates polymer membranes composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) embedded with metal oxides, specifically Strontium oxide (SrO) and Lanthanum oxide (La2O3). Composite films of PVA-PVP-SrO, PVA-PVP- La2O3, and PVA-PVP-SrO–La2O3 were developed using an ultrasound-assisted casting technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that these polymer membranes exhibit both semi-crystalline and amorphous characteristics, with crystalline peaks of SrO and La2O3 indicating modifications in their structural properties. The electrical properties were evaluated using an I-V source meter and impedance spectroscopy. Physical properties of the materials were studied to understand their behaviour of stress and strain. Young’s Modulus measurements revealed that PVA-PVP- La2O3 achieved the highest elongation value (ɛ) of 145.5. Thermal conductivity was measured using the transient hot wire method, indicated that PVA-PVP-SrO–La2O3 exhibited superior thermal conductivity compared to the other composites, achieving a value of 16.129 W/(m−1 K−1).
