Abstract

In this work, antimony trioxide nanoparticles (Sb₂O₃NPs)-doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA $_{0.75}$ $_{0.75}$ ) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP $_{0.25}$ $_{0.25}$ ) (i.e., PVAP@ $x$ $x$ Sb₂O₃NPs, $x = 0, 0.02$ $x = 0, 0.02$ , and 0.04) composite films were prepared using the casting method. Light optical microscopy (LOM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier infrared spectrums (FTIR) were used to investigate PVAP@ $x$ $x$ Sb₂O₃NPs films. Sb₂O₃NPs were well dispersed within the matrix. FTIR showed a strong interaction between the matrix material and NPs. The density increased by up to 75% after adding 0.04wt.% of Sb₂O₃NPs. The mechanical ultrasound properties (MUS) were measured with different ultrasound frequencies in the ranges of (25, 30, 35, 40 and 45kHz). MUS coefficients such as ultrasonic velocity, absorption coefficient, and bulk modules were significantly improved after the impact of NPs by up to 20%, 115% and 230%, respectively. The reduction of electrical properties such as dielectric and loss constant was associated with an increase in frequency. The dielectric constant of PVAP@Sb₂O₃NPs was increased by about 80% after loading. AC electrical conductivity revealed an improvement with an increase in frequency and loading ratio. The results demonstrate a promising material for electromechanical, energy harvesting, and pressure sensor applications.
