In this work the structural and optical properties of PVA:PbO2 based solid polymer nanocomposites was investigated. The XRD results indicated the existence of both α and β phases of PbO2 distributed along the PVA matrix. The crystallite size of PbO2 particles was found to be in the nanoscale range (...
