Optical performance appraisal of mechanically flexible and visibly clear PVP-PVA/calcium doped zirconium oxide nanocomposites for UV shielding applications

H. V. Kavya et al.

Summary: The study reports the successful development of a mechanically flexible, optically clear, and UV-shielding nanocomposite material by incorporating calcium-doped zirconium oxide nanofillers. Various characterization techniques were employed to evaluate the structural, micro-structural, surface morphological, mechanical, and optical properties of the nanocomposite, with a focus on UV-shielding performance. The nanocomposite showed potential for applications as mechanically flexible UV protective materials, with UV-shielding behaviors attributed to nanofiller/polymer synergism inducing UV to visible photonic down-conversions.
