In this study, composite material films of pyridine-based polymer and metal oxides (ZnO and TiO2) were successfully deposited by spin coating method for environmental remediation. Firstly, the polymers poly(2-vinylpyridine) P(2-VP), and poly(4-vinylpyridine) P(4-VP) were synthesized via solution polymerization. The analysis by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) reveals semicrystalline nature and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicates that the poly(vinylpyridines) clusters of particles were observed on the surface of the films. It was also shown that the morphology of composite materials is completely dependent on the chemical nature of the oxide. In the case of P(2-VP)-TiO2 and P(4-VP)-TiO2, some channels or pathways of TiO2 on the surface of films were observed. However, the surface morphology of the polymer composites formulated with ZnO shows a homogeneous distribution in P(2-VP) and P(4-VP) matrix. The effectiveness of the composite materials in the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) was evaluated by photocatalysis. According to the results, the P(4-VP)-ZnO composite exhibited the highest photodegradation of MO, allowing the separation of photogenerated species required for the photocatalytic reaction. The P(4-VP)-ZnO composite was also tested in benzoic acid (BA) photodegradation in water. The presence of some scavengers in the reaction system reveals that hydroxyl radicals (OH•), superoxide radicals (O2-•) and holes (h+) are responsible for the BA reduction by photocatalysis.
