摘要

Polymer nanocomposite films composed of poly (ethylene oxide) combined with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PEO-PVA) blend and loaded with varying concentrations (0.2–0.8 wt%) of NiZnFe2O3 nanoparticles were prepared and systematically characterized for their structural, thermal response, optical, and dielectric properties. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated significant changes in thermal response of the nanocomposites with increased ferrite content. X-ray diffraction illustrated the emergence of ferrite phase with increasing crystallite size from 13.9 to 19 nm with increasing filler loading. Surface morphology examined via SEM revealed partial agglomeration at high concentration while EDS revealed no impurities. UV–Vis reflectance analysis showed notable shifts and slight bandgap narrowing to reach 1 eV. Dielectric investigations revealed enhanced values of dielectric constant and reduced loss tangent, especially at high frequencies, upon ferrite incorporation. AC conductivity of 0.6 wt% NiZnFe2O3 sample attained peak conductivity of 3.3 \(\times\) × 10–6 S cm−1. The findings suggest that NiZnFe2O3 addition tailors the dielectric behavior of PEO-PVA blend-based films without negatively affecting optical properties, rendering these films suitable for energy storage and low dielectric loss requiring applications.
