Abstract:
In the present work, the optical properties of the PEPC-co-SY3 nanocomposite doped with gold nanoparticles are brought to light. The samples were prepared with 3 different concentrations of Au as well as a control sample of undoped azopolymer. Thin films were studied with UV/Vis and polarimetric spectroscopy. The paper’ results show bandgap shifts depending on the concentration of gold nanoparticles.
