Abstract

The research focuses on polymeric composites made of PVA doped with ZnO, MoO3, and Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O. Furthermore, a shifting in absorption edge for PVA was observed in UV experiments; it begins at 3.5 eV and reduces to 2.6 eV for PVA-ZnO composite. The indirect band gap lowers for all compositions, filled by ZnO/MoO3/ Fe3(PO4)2.8H2O, and it reaches 2.6 eV for PVA-ZnO composite. On the other hand, the refractive index of PVA is 1.687, while in PVA-ZnO-MoO3-Fe3(PO4)2.8H2O composite, it is 2.03. Furthermore, after doping with MoO3 and Fe3(PO4)2.8H2O, the dielectric constant for PVA decreased from roughly 28 to less than 20 and increased to about 47 in PVA-ZnO composite. The dielectric and optical investigation of PVA/ZnO/MoO3/Fe3(PO4)2.8H2O composites demonstrated the importance of their characterization in optoelectronic applications.
