Synthesis and Characterization of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Zinc Hydroxide Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, Polyvinyl Alcohol /Zinc Hidroxide composite was synthesised via film casting method. Fourier transform infrared and X-Ray diffraction was undertaken to analyze the interaction between polyvinyl alcohol and zinc hydroxide. Morphology of the resulting PVA/Zn(OH)2 composite structure was observed by Field Emission Scannig Electron Spectroscopy. FTIR and XRD results showed interaction between PVA and zinc hydroxide. These interaction are responsible for change in the thermal behavior of the composite.
