Abstract

The production of optical instruments, which are in great demand in various fields, expanded to include medical devices. In this study, the polymer is mixed with PVA-PAAm-PEG and different wt.% of CNT nanocomposite films synthesized by the solution casting method resulted in optical microscopy images depicting both feathering and homogeneous dispersion of nanomaterial within the films. The obtained products were identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and showed a powerful dispersion of CNT on the surface of the polymeric matrix. XRD analysis provided confirmation of this observation. the presence of semi-crystalline PVA-PAAm-PEG and CNTs forming square structures aggregated are observed as the weight percent weight of the additive increases up to 20wt.%.Transmittance decreases with increasing CNT concentration, while extinction coefficient dielectric constant (real and imaginary) increases with increasing CNT concentration. This is attributed to increase in electronic polarization in nanocomposite contributed by concentration in films ie. charges within polymers), The study centered on analyzing the single oscillator energy (Eo), static refractive index (n(0)), and moments (M-1 and M-3).
