Synthesis and improved optical, electrical, and dielectric properties of PEO/PVA/CuCoO nanocomposites.

This study investigates the development of novel nanocomposite films based on a blend of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) loaded with varying weight percentages of copper cobaltite nanoparticles (CuCoO NPs). The primary objective was to fabricate these nanocomposites using a solution casting technique and explore the influence of CuCoO content on their structural, optical, electrical, and dielectric properties. Spinel-type CuCoO NPs were synthesized via the hydrothermal method and incorporated into the PEO/PVA blend.
