Abstract
Present study deals with the dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles in PVC/PE blends. The prepared blend nanocomposites have been characterized using FESEM, FTIR, UV-Visible spectroscopy, TGA, and EDX to study the morphology, optical and thermal properties of prepared samples. FESEM confirms the dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer blend and formation of blend nanocomposites. Decrease in optical band gap has been observed by addition of TiO2 content. Variation in melting point is studied by TGA. Thermal stability is enhanced with increasing TiO2 content in polymer blend.
