This study used a modified polyol technique to synthesize silver nanowires (AgNWs), which were subsequently mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer and air-dried under ambient conditions. As a result, AgNWs/PVA nanocomposites with a concentration of 2% were prepared by a casting process. After that, the upper surface of the produced samples was treated with HS gas, as a result of which asymmetric structures were formed depending on the gas concentration, exposure time and penetration into the layers.

The prepared composites were subjected to sulfidation under the influence of HS gas. Structural changes in the samples were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The prepared GO and GO/PVA nanocomposite films were subjected to gamma (γ) radiation at different doses (10, 500, and 1500 kGy) to analyze the effects on their structure and optical properties. The structural changes in the nanocomposites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), allowing for the determination of any alterations resulting from exposure to radiation at different doses.

The mentioned macroheterocycle was synthesized by the [2+2] cyclocondensation of the oxygen-containing diamine with an aromatic dialdehyde in a non-catalytic medium and with no work-up procedure. The structure of the obtained macroheterocycle was studied by H and C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry.
