Abstract: A stable and free standing polymer blend films of poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) [PEOX] and poly(vinyl alcohol) [PVOH] were prepared by solution casting technique at different weight percentages (70/30, 50/50, 30/70). The prepared blends were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Various optical properties such as absorption band edge, direct and indirect band gap, and optical activation energy were obtained by UV-Vis spectral analysis. FTIR analysis confirms the specific hydrogen bonding between –CH3 groups of PEOX and –OH groups of PVOH, and also the hydrophilic nature of the blends.

 

Keywords: Polymer blend, Solution casting, Band edge, Band gap, Optical spectroscopy.
