Structural and Optical Properties of Zno and Zno/PS Core-Shell Nano Composites

The Core-shell structured nanoparticles of ZnO-PS were successfully synthesized in PS matrix by wet chemical method and transparent thin films of these nano-hybrids were coated on substrates by using spin coating technique. The XRD spectra of ZnO nanoparticles demonstrates a series of characteristic peaks that were in accordance with the XRD pattern of wurtzite phase, hexagonal ZnO structure. The crystallite sizes in ZnO, and ZnO/PS, corresponding to 101 plane, are found. Structural and optical properties of all the nanocomposites samples were investigated by XRD, HRTEM, EDX, FTIR and UV-Visible spectroscopy.
