This study looks at the synthesis of innovative PEO/PVA/SrTiO₃/NiO nanocomposites for piezoelectric sensors and gamma shielding applications that are low weight, elastic, affordable and have good gamma ray attenuation coefficients. The impact of SrTiO₃/NiO on the structural characteristics of the PEO/PVA mixture is investigated. The polymer mixture PEO/PVA received additions of SrTiO₃/NiO at concentrations of (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) weight percent by the casting method. On the top surface of the films PEO/PVA/SrTiO₃/NiO NCs, scanning electron microscopy reveals several randomly distributed aggregates or fragments that are consistent and coherent. An optical microscope image collection reveals that the blend*s additive distribution of NPs was homogenous. Gamma ray shielding application results show that the attenuation coefficient of PVA/PEO/SrTiO₃/NiO NCs is increased by increasing concentration of SrTiO₃/NiO nanoparticles. Radiation protection is another application for it. The pressure sensor application findings of NCs show that, when the applied pressure rises, electrical capacitance (Cp) increase.

Abstract

This study looks at the synthesis of innovative PEO/PVA/SrTiO₃/NiO nanocomposites for piezoelectric sensors and gamma shielding applications that are low weight, elastic, affordable and have good gamma ray attenuation coefficients. The impact of SrTiO₃/NiO on the structural characteristics of the PEO/PVA mixture is investigated. The polymer mixture PEO/PVA received additions of SrTiO₃/NiO at concentrations of (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) weight percent by the casting method. On the top surface of the films PEO/PVA/SrTiO₃/NiO NCs, scanning electron microscopy reveals several randomly distributed aggregates or fragments that are consistent and coherent. An optical microscope image collection reveals that the blend*s additive distribution of NPs was homogenous. Gamma ray shielding application results show that the attenuation coefficient of PVA/PEO/SrTiO₃/NiO NCs is increased by increasing concentration of SrTiO₃/NiO nanoparticles. Radiation protection is another application for it. The pressure sensor application findings of NCs show that, when the applied pressure rises, electrical capacitance (Cp) increase.
