Optical properties enhancement for polyacrylonitrile-ball clay nanocomposite by heavy metals saturation technique

Gamma radiation at varying radiation doses was utilized to produce polyacrylonitrile ball clay nanocomposites (PAN/BC). Various analysis methods; The structural morphology, functional groups, and also chemical structures of prepared composites were examined utilizing XRD, XRF, IR, SEMT Co2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cs+. Optical characteristics for PAN/BC nanocomposite prepared at 60 kGy were investigated before and after saturation by investigated ions and the data represented an enrichment of the bandgap by saturation technique.
