Towards a new type of polymer-ceramic composites Na2Ti3O7/Na2Ti6O13/PVA
A new hybrid material was created by blending sodium titanate ceramics (Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 /Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 ) with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix, resulting in enhanced semiconductive characteristics. The synthesis process involved intense ultrasonic treatment and subsequent heat treatment at 900 °C. Ut...

/PVA composites were fabricated. Raman spectra confirmed the presence of PVA chains and distinctive bands of sodium titanates. Elemental analysis verified the existence of Na and Ti in both composites. Morphological observations revealed the formation of irregular agglomerates upon introducing sodium titanates into the PVA structure, leading to a rise in the average surface roughness (Ra) from ~ 1.5 to 7.9 nm post-incorporation of heated Na
