Different concentrations of graphene oxide (GO) were successfully embedded into poly (vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-2-hydroxypropyl acrylate) (PVVH) copolymer. The composites obtained were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, SEM and UV/Vis techniques, in addition to investigating their electrical properties. XRD results showed the predominance of the amorphous phase inside the prepared samples. The main characteristic peaks of the used materials were observed in FT-IR spectra with changes in their intensities and/or their positions, confirming the successful complexation and strong interaction between GO and PVVH. A bathochromic shift in the main absorption sharp edge was detected in UV/Vis spectra. Additionally, the two peaks at 214 and 280 nm were ascribed to n→π* and π→π* transitions, respectively. Both optical energy gap and refractive index were calculated in terms of UV/Vis absorption spectra using Mott–Davis model and Dimitrov–Sakka equation. The thermal behavior of the current samples was carefully investigated by employing TGA. Moreover, the activation energy was studied using Coats-Redfern and Broido models. The homogeneous dispersion of GO has contributed to the significant increase in the electrical conductivity as well as improving thermal stability of the PVVH-based nanocomposites. The experimental results obtained for the current system promote these nanocomposites for use in optoelectronic applications.
