摘要

The objective of this work is to create innovative nanocomposite films by integrating nanostructures (bismuth oxide Bi2O3 and silicon dioxide SiO2) into polystyrene (PS). The primary objective of this study was to examine the structural and optical characteristics of nanostructures made up of PS-Bi2O3-SiO2. The FTIR spectra indicate the existence of a physical contact between the original polymer and nanoparticles. At a concentration of 6 wt.%, optical microscope findings indicate the formation of a cohesive network of (Bi2O3-SiO2) nanoparticles inside the polymer matrix, which is different from the pure (PS) film. The optical properties of pure PS, such as extinction coefficient (K), absorption index (α), absorbance (A), refractive index (n), and optical conductivity(σop), showed a positive correlation with the higher concentration of (Bi2O3-SiO2) nanoparticles. Thus, these findings indicate that the material may be appropriate for various optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, transistors, electronic gates, photovoltaic cells, lasers, diodes, and other related applications. The integration of nanoparticles leads to an increase in the third-order nonlinear susceptibility (χ(3)), linear susceptibility (χ(1)), Urbach energy (Eu), average oscillator wavelength (λo), nonlinear refractive index (n2), and static refractive index (no). Conversely, there is a noticeable reduction in the average oscillator strength (So), dispersion energy (Ed), and single-oscillator energy (Eosc). The analysis of the dielectric properties of (PS-Bi2O3-SiO2) nanocomposites revealed that an increase in the concentration of (Bi2O3-SiO2) nanoparticles resulted in a corresponding rise in the ε', ε", and σa.c of pure PS. The PS-Bi2O3-SiO2 nanocomposites show considerable gamma ray attenuation coefficients, according to the study. This paper suggests that these nanocomposites can be used in optoelectronic nanodevices and gamma radiation shielding.
