Optical properties of iodine-PMMA composites

In recent past years, polymer-nano-composites (PNC's) have been given considerable attention apart from semiconductor-nano-composites (SNC's) because of their electronic properties. Polymer nano composites are a novel group of material with a great deal of potential promise for probable application as high performance materials. Despite the significant potential for these composite systems, high conductive filler concentrations are often required to achieve desired property enhancement. In the present case we doped Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix with iodine in different weight percentage (wt%). PNC's can be potentially used for a variety of diverse application: optical devices, filter color, sensors, polarizers, magnetic data storage nano-system and many more [1-2].
