Synthesis and thermal analysis of bisphenol a polycarbonate- ZnO nanocomposites
The Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (size∼10–15 nm) were synthesized by chemical method. The bandgap of these nanoparticles have been found to be 3.21 eV using UV Vis spectroscopy. ZnO nanoparticles were added in bisphenol a polycarbonate (PC) with 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt %. These nanocomposite films were subjected to the thermal analysis using DSC. DSC thermograms reveal the information about glass transition (Tg), melting (Tm) and crystallization (Tc). Thermal stability of these comopites was also discussed in this work.
