A method of preparing novel and transparent polymer nanocomposites based on a polymeric matrix of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and the inorganic nanoparticles of zinc sulfide doped with manganese atoms (ZnS:Mn).
New and innovative aspects
The present invention relates to a method of preparing novel and transparent polymer nanocomposites based on a polymeric matrix of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and the inorganic nanoparticles of zinc sulfide doped with manganese atoms (ZnS:Mn). Nanocomposites were produced by adding different percentages of nanoparticles from 5 up to 50% by weight in the polymer matrix. From the resulting nanocomposites films on glass were prepared by spin-coating method. In order to obtain a completely transparent and homogeneous nanocomposites were used as-synthesized nanoparticles ZnSe:Mn of small size (less than 20 nm) and modified suitable stabilizers surface. All nanocomposites were characterized by strong orange photoluminescence from dispersed ZnS:Mn nanoparticles and transparency in the visible light range.
Applications
Due to the unique properties of produced nanocomposites these thin films can be used in optoelectronics for displays or light emitting diodes.
