Abstract
Magnesium oxide (MgO) nano particle was synthesized by ultrasound assisted one pot method and thus synthesized nano MgO was mixed with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to prepare the polymer nano composite. The influence of the nano sized MgO on the structural modification of PVA was evaluated. The particle size and morphology of MgO was confirmed by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). The properties of PVA/MgO nano composite materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) like analytical tools.
