Analysis of topographical parameters and interfacial interaction of zinc oxide reinforced poly (vinyl alcohol-g-acrylonitrile) nanocomposite film surfaces using atomic force microscopy

Motivated by the significance of surface morphology and topography of polymer nanocomposite surfaces, the present investigation was undertaken to design zinc oxide reinforced nanocomposites of poly(vinyl alcohol)-g-poly(acrylonitrile) and explore their morphological and topographical features. The grafted polymer matrix was prepared by a free radical polymerization method and zinc oxide nanoparticles were impregnated by adopting a simple...
