Evaluation of mechanical, optical and thermal properties of PVA nanocomposites embedded with Fe2O3 nanofillers and the investigation of their thermal decomposition characteristics under non-isothermal heating condition

V Parthasarathy et al.

Summary: Magnetic Fe2O3 nanopowder was synthesized and characterized using various analytical techniques, and PVA/Fe2O3 nanocomposites were prepared to investigate the effect of nanofillers on their physicochemical properties. The results showed that the Fe2O3 nanofillers could be uniformly distributed in the PVA matrix, and the dispersed Fe2O3 nanofillers in PVA could reduce the bandgap and enhance thermal stability of the nanocomposites.
