In this paper, films of (PMMA-PC/Sb2O3-GO) quaternary nanostructures were prepared by casting method with different concentrations of Sb2O3/GO NPs are (0, 1.4 %, 2.8 %, 4.2 %,and 5.6 %). The structural and dielectric characteristics of nanostructures system (PMMA-PC/Sb2O3-GO) have been explored to use in different solid state electronics nanodevices applications. The morphology of (PMMA-PC/Sb2O3-GO) nanostructures films was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM images indicate a large number of uniform and coherent aggregates or chunks. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) analysis were studied to show the interactions between the Sb2O3/GO NPs and PMMA/PC blend. The dielectric properties of nanostructures films were investigated in the frequency range (100HZ-5MHZ). The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and A.C electrical conductivity increase with the concentration of (Sb2O3-GO) NPs. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss were reduced, whereas electrical conductivity increased with frequency. Finally, results showed the PMMA-PC/Sb2O3-GO nanostructures may be considered as promising materials for solid state electronics nanodevices.

Films are prepared from (PEO/PVA) blend with various ratios of (SrTiO3/NiO) by using casting method. SEM images of (PEO/PVA/SrTiO3/NiO) nanocomposites show that many aggregates or chunks on the upper surface that are homogeneous and coherent. The (PEO/PVA/SrTiO3/NiO) nanocomposites contribute to tiny vibrational molecular movement, according to the (FTIR) analysis. Several polymer chains were also disrupted once (SrTiO3/NiO) nanoparticles were introduced. Instead, several additional chains were produced. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreases with increasing of frequency, while conductivity increases, as well as dielectric constant increases from 4.73 to 5.99 and dielectric loss rise from 0.85 to1.80, while the conductivity increases from 4.7×10-11 S/cm to 1.10×10-10 S/cm when (SrTiO3/NiO) NPs reached 4wt.%. The results of structural and electrical properties show that the (PEO/PVA/SrTiO3/NiO) NCs may be used for various electronics fields.

Nanocomposites of (CMC-PAA-ZrC) made with different nano zirconium carbide percentages by casting method (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6) wt%. The results showed that FTIR spectra shift in peak position and change in shape and intensity, compared with pure (CMC-PAA) blend. Microscopic photographs show a clear difference in the samples when increasing proportions of zirconium carbide nanoparticles, when the concentration of zirconium carbide NP reached 6% wt, the nanoparticles make up a continuous network inside (CMC-PAA) blend. Structural and optical characteristics have investigated the findings showed that the absorption of (CMC-PAA-ZrC) nanocomposites increases with increasing of ZrC NPs, while transmission decrease. The absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, real and imaginary parts of dielectric and optical conductivity are increasing with rises concentration of ZrC. Also optical energy gap decreased from 4.9 eV to 4.05 eV and from 4.5 eV to 3.65 eV for allowed and forbidden indirect transition respectively with increasing ZrC NPs. The results indicate that the (CMC-PAA-ZrC) nanostructures can be considered as promising materials for optoelectronics applications.

In the current study, the PS/SiC/Sb2O3 nanocomposites have been prepared by using solution casting method with different concentrations of SiC/Sb2O3 nanoparticles (0,2,4,6,8) % wt. The structural and dielectric properties of (PS/SiC/Sb2O3) nanocomposites have been investigated. Full emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) used to study the surface of nanocomposite. FE-SEM confirmed that good distribution of SiC and Sb2O3 NPs into the polymer matrix. Optical microscope (OM) was tested the morphological of nanocomposite that proven that the polystyrene is exceptionally miscible, as seen by its finer form and smooth, homogeneous surface, while the additive concentration SiC and Sb2O3 NPs are well distributed on the surface of the polymer nanocomposite films. Fourier transformation spectroscopy (FTIR) was examine the structural of nanocomposite and give the information of the vibration of molecules. From FTIR, the additive SiC and Sb2O3 NPs caused interaction with polymer matrix. FTIR proven that there is physical interactions between polystyrene and SiC and Sb2O3 NPs. According to AC electrical properties, dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the NCs reduce with increasing the frequency of the applied electric field and increased with increasing concentration of SiC/Sb2O3 nanoparticles, while AC electrical conductivity increased with increasing frequency and concentration of SiC/Sb2O3 NPs. The results of structural and electrical characteristics show that the PS/SiC/Sb2O3 nanocomposites may be used for various electronics devices.

Nanocomposites have a wide range of applications, including optical integrated circuits, sensors, coatings, and medical devices. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to prepare a new type of nanocomposites made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with different concentrations (0, 1, 2 and 3) wt% of cobalt oxide and zirconium dioxide (CoO-ZrO2) nanoparticles by using casting method. Microscopic photographs demonstrate the fact that the additive distribution amount of NPs in the polymer was uniform, and (CoO-ZrO2) NPs formed a continuous network within the polymer when the concentration reached 3wt.%. The outcomes of optical properties indicate that the absorbance of nanocomposites improves as the concentrations of cobalt oxide and zirconium dioxide nanoparticles increase while transmittance and the optical energy gap decrease. On the other hand, optical constants of nanocomposites (refractive index, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary the dielectric constants) and optical conductivity are increase with increases in the weight percentages of (CoO-ZrO2) nanoparticles. These outcomes demonstrate the (PVA-CoO -ZrO2) NCs use for various optical devices.

In this study, the casting method was used to prepared PMMA/Si3N4/TaC nanocomposites with variant content (0,2,4,6,8) % wt of Si3N4/TaC nanoparticles. The structural and electrical properties have been investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicate that the homogenous, smooth and dispersed of Si3N4 and TaC NPs inside the PMMA matrix due to strong covalent interaction between the Si3N4 and TaC NPs in the PMMA matrix which mean a good method for prepared films. Optical microscope images explained that when increasing in content of nanoparticles that forming network paths inside the polymeric matrix that act as charge carriers. FTIR spectra indicate to a physical interference between the polymer matrix and nanoparticles. The AC electrical properties of nanocomposites obtained that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss rise with rising content of nanoparticles and decrease with rising frequency of applied electric field. While the A.C electrical conductivity rise with rising the frequency and weight content of Si3N4/TaC nanoparticles. This results indicated that the PMMA/Si3N4/TaC nanostructures can be considered as promising materials for electronics and electrical nanodevices.
