This study introduces the synthesis of graphite-carbon nitrite (g-C3N4) using thermal treatment of urea. The prepared powder is treated to generate nanoparticles. The structure and grain size of the g-C3N4 have been obtained via X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and transmission electron microscope. The graphite-carbon nitride on Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC/g-C3N4) nanocomposite films were produced by mixing different concentrations (0, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20 wt%) of nanoparticles with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) solutions. The structure and elemental composition of the prepared nanocomposites films PVC/g-C3N4 were studied by using XRD, scanning electron microscope (SEM), (EDX), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and electron spin resonance (ESR). Also, spectral distribution of the optical absorbance for the PVC/g-C3N4 nanocomposites films was studied in the wavelength range from 190 to 1100 nm. Thermal stability of the investigated nanocomposites films was investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis technique (TGA). The effect of various concentrations of the g-C3N4 and different doses of gamma-rays on the polymeric matrix and electrical properties of PVC film also has been investigated. The g-C3N4 additives on PVC influenced the crystal structure and optical properties of the nanocomposites films. The nanocomposite film with 10% g-C3N4 achieved higher values of the refractive index and optical conductivity compared with the other films. With different doses of gamma-ray irradiation, the crystal structure and optical properties of PVC/g-C3N4 nanocomposite films were changed in accordance to the cross-linking process within the PVC polymeric chains where a structural rearrangement can be occurred as a result of gamma irradiation. The elemental composition and morphological study of PVC/g-C3N4 nanocomposite films have been checked by the scanning electron microscopy which indicated the homogeneous dispersion of g-C3N4 nanoparticles within PVC network. Finally, electrical properties of PVC/g-C3N4 nanocomposite films with different ratios and distinct gamma doses also have been studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
