Thick film of CdS/Polyvinyal cloride (PVC) semiconducting nanocomposite was synthesized by dispersing nanofiller particles of CdS in PVC matrix. The nanostructure of the CdS particles has been ascertained through X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The tensile study of prepared samples has been done through a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer device. This study reveals that the Young’s modulus and the toughness of the material are greatly influenced by the existence of interfacial energetic interaction between dispersed CdS nanofiller particles and matrix of PVC. As a result elastic modulus, toughness and fracture energy are significantly improved in the semiconducting nanocomposite sample.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
