Synthesis and structural studies of CdS nanoparticles in PMMA polymer coordination

Abstract

The UV-Vis with CdS end-point analysis was used to produce and investigate CdS. As a result, the PMMA nanocomposites as well as the hexadecylamine-capped metal sulfide nanoparticles were heated to 180 °C in order to get them. The absorption and retronscopy techniques were utilized in order to study the optical properties of nanoparticles and the PMMA/nanocomposite. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been among the methods applied for such structural investigations. From 10. 15 to 37. CdS nanoparticles could be, a 25 nm aspect, characterized by the TEM imaging. The new research showed a widening of the diffraction peak of polymer composite in XRD and EDS proofs of the presence of sulfur nanoparticles in PMMA nanocomposite products.
