摘要
In this study, nanocomposites films of polycarbonate/TiO2/ZnO nanoparticles with various weight percentages (5 and 10 wt%) were prepared. X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy were utilized to investigate the structure of the samples. The morphologies of nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical properties of the samples were studied by Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The band gaps of nanocomposites were estimated using the Tauc method. The band gap of nanocomposite decreased when the weight percentage of nanoparticles increased. The band gaps of PC/TiO2, PC/ZnO and PC/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites calculated by Density-functional theory (DFT) method are 3.28, 3.37 and 3.3 eV, respectively.
