| Abstract: | The objective of this article was fabrication and characterization of novel optically active poly(amide-imide)/zinc oxide nanocomposites with different modified ZnO nanoparticle contents under ultrasonic irradiation technique. For better dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles in a polymer matrix, their surface was modified with poly(vinyl alcohol) as a coupling agent. Effects of poly(vinyl alcohol) modifier on dispersity of nanoparticles, morphological structures, and thermal stability of the obtained nanoparticles were studied by several techniques. According to the transmission electron microscopy images of the nanocomposite, the average diameter of particles was around 7–15 nm in the poly(amide-imide). |
