摘要

The objective of the current investigation is to create polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) by combining magnesium oxide (MgO)/ silicon carbide (SiC) nanomaterials (NMs) and Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) for use in a diverse range of electrical and optical nanodevices. The films of PMMA/MgO-SiC PNCs were produced using the casting process. The structural properties of PMMA/MgO-SiC polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) were investigated using optical microscopy (OM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, the optical properties of PMMA/MgO-SiC PNCs were also examined. The Optical Microscope (OM) has shown that there is a uniform dispersion of MgO-SiC Nanomaterials (NMs) within the polymer structure of PMMA. Also, the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirms the presence of a physical contact with the PMMA polymer and the MgO-SiC NMs. The spectral properties were evaluated throughout a spectrum of wavelengths spanning around (200–780) nm. The outcomes indicated that the absorption value of PMMA rose by 1200% and 1800% at wavelengths (380 nm) (UV/spectra) and 560 nm (VIS/spectra), respectively, when the ratio of MgO-SiC NMs was 5 wt.%. The optical transmission of PMMA fell by 113% and 118% at wavelengths of 380 nm and 560 nm, respectively. These findings suggest that PMMA/MgO-SiC PNCs films have potential uses in tiny electronic devices and optics. The analysis revealed the existence of two distinct types of optical band gaps: an indirect forbidden energy gap and an indirect allowed energy gap. The indirect forbidden energy gap decreased from 4.63 to 2.95 eV, while the indirect allowed energy gap decreased from 5.12 to 3.96 eV, as the total amount of MgO-SiC NMs increased to 5 wt.%. This distinction between the two band gap types emphasizes the tunability of the PMMA/MgO-SiC PNCs for specific optical applications. The optical properties of PMMA were enhanced when the concentration of MgO-SiC NMs increased. The analysis of dielectric properties revealed that the dielectric constant and loss of PMMA/MgO-SiC PNCs decreased as the frequency increased, but increased as the ratio of MgO-SiC NMs was enhanced.
