Abstract:

This paper describes the studies related to ZnO nanoparticles (0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5 wt. %) filled Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) thin films prepared by solution casting technique. The synthesized ZnO/LDPE nanocomposite thin films were analyzed by XRD, SEM and FTIR. Peaks in X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern indicate the presence of ZnO nanoparticles in LDPE matrix and absence of any extra peak in the pattern shows there is no new phase formation. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images showed that the nano inclusions are uniformly distributed in the LDPE matrix. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) result indicates the presence ZnO nanoparticles in LDPE thin films.
