Estimation of structural and mechanical properties of Cadmium Sulfide/PVA nanocomposite films.

Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles have been synthesized by hydrothermal method, and dispersed in varying amounts by weight, in Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) matrix. Subsequently, PVA/CdS nanocomposite films have been characterized and analyzed to estimate CdS nanoparticles effect on the properties of PVA films. Both mechanical and structural properties have been considered for the analysis.
