In this present work, a PVA/PVP-blend polymer was doped with various concentrations of neodymium oxide (PB-Nd) composite films using the solution casting technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to investigate the composite structure and proved the semi-crystallinity of the pure PVA/PVP polymeric sample. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, a chemical-structure tool, illustrated a significant interaction of PB-Nd elements in the polymeric blends.

X-ray diffraction analyses show that the samples have a structure crystallized into the usual hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure according to the space group. The scanning electron microscope images conceal all samples' nanosphere bundles and aggregates.
