Gd2O3:Er3+ embedded PMMA/PC nanocomposites: A luminescent nanocomposite
Gd2O3:Er3+ nanophosphor powders were synthesized by the solution combustion method and then embedded into neat Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer solution and Poly carbonate (PC) polymer solution via the solvent casting method to obtain Polymer-Phosphor nanocomposites. This method is widely us...
