Effect of CuCl2 powder on the optical characterization of Methylcellulose (MC) polymer composite
In this paper, polymer composite (PC) film based on Methylcellulose (MC) has been prepared by solution cast technique and its optical bandgap was discussed in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) method , UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) technique were us...

In this paper, polymer composite (PC) film based on Methylcellulose (MC) has been prepared by solution cast technique and its optical bandgap was discussed in detail.

Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) is used to examine the effect of CuCl2 on films morphology. The fundamental optical parameters, such as optical energy gap (Eg), optical dielectric constant (εr) and dielectric loss (εi) have been measured in which the amount of CuCl2 has significant effectiveness.
