Abstract :Recent studies have paid particular attention to polymer-nanoparticle composite materials considering they have a number of interesting properties, which include optical, thermal, electrical, and others insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Reyna-Gonzalez et al., 2009; Yakuphanoglu et al., 2010);. In this study, a free radical polymerization process was used to create a copolymer of N-vinylcarbazole insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NVC); and benzyl methacrylate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BZMA); at 25–75 mol% each. The procedure was conducted at 70°C with azobisisobutyronitrile insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AIBN); acting as the initiator. Nano zinc oxide powders were then added to composites at three different ratios of 5%, 10%, and 15% weight of the copolymer. In order to better understand the structures of the Pinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NVC-co-BZMA); and its composites, FT-IR, 1H NMR, and UV spectroscopic techniques were also implemented. The optical characteristics of both the pure copolymer and its composites were examined. In the visible region, the composite containing 15% nano ZnO had the highest optical absorbance value. Additionally, the thermal behaviours of the composites and copolymers were analysed.
