The present work was carried out to investigate the silver concentration
Effect (Ag %)othe optical and the electrical properties of the polymethyl methacrylate
(PMMA). The samples were casted as films from the photopolymer (PMMA) stated
above and the reason. The optical constant (α,k,n, εr, and εi)for the photopolymer
(PMMA),and Ag/PMMA composites at different concentration were investigated. It
was seen that there was nonlinear relationship between the optical constants and the
concentration ratio, which was attributed to their incompatibility. These results were
confirmed with optical micrographs. It was found that there was increasing of carrier
concentration with Ag ratio which Ag/PMMA composites at different concentration.
These prepared polymer systems were analyzes spectrophotometically. It was found
that an increasing in the absorption spectra with increasing of the silver concentration
in Ag/PMMA composites, which was attributed to the increasing in localized states.
The results proved that its energy gap was for 13%Ag/PMMA (4.85eV), which was the
lowest of all polymer system involved due to previous was caused decreasing in the
mobility. The results showed that the best conductivity was at 9%Ag ratio, and the
lowest receptivity.
Key words: Ag/PMMA, Electrical, Optical Constants.
