Abstract

This study aims at the application of the prepared Polymer Nanocomposite in the field of solid-state optoelectronic devices. Polymer Nanocomposite was prepared by incorporating iron nanoparticles, synthesized random Copolyester (BCTP), and Polypyrrole by Insitu chemical polymerization method. The application of the synthesized random Copolyester with wide biological activity due to bis chalcone moiety can also be extended to the optoelectronics field. The Copolyester (BCTP) was subjected to spectral analysis such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm the chemical structural orientation. The Iron nanoparticles, Polypyrrole, and polymer nanocomposite were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD). The FTIR spectroscopy confirms the formation of polymer nanocomposite by the prominent shift in stretching frequency from the starting materials taken. Powder X-ray Diffraction was used to determine the Iron Nanoparticles’ average crystallite size. The structural morphology of iron nanoparticles, Polypyrrole, and polymer nanocomposite were identified by Scanning electron Microscopy. The SEM images gave the view of Iron nanoparticles, Polypyrrole was seated in the Polymer matrix. The specific capacitance for the newly synthesized Polymer Nanocomposite was found to be 58.88 F/g by Cyclic Voltammetric analysis. The electrochemical behavior of the random copolyester (BCPT), Iron nanoparticles, Polypyrrole, and polymer nanocomposite was carried out by Impedance analysis. This confirms the Polymer Nanocomposites were conducting nature with good ionic conductance of 6.89 × 10-5 S cm-1.
