Influence of α-Fe₂O₃, CuO and GO 2D nano-fillers on the structure, physical properties and antifungal activity of Na-CMC-PAAm blend.

ABSTRACT: The present work aims to improve the uses of the carboxymethyl cellulose-polyacrylamide (Na-CMC-PAAm) blend for energy storage, optoelectronic applications, biological control, and plant disease management. Nano-sized materials (α-Fe₂O₃ nanoplates (NP), CuO NP, and GO nanosheets (NS), were synthesized and incorporated into the blend. The phase purity and morphologies of the used fillers were studied by XRD and HR-TEM. The interactions and complexation between the nano-fillers and the blend chains were investigated using XRD and FTIR spectra. The chemical composition and surface morphology of the nanocomposites were studied using EDS and FE-SEM analysis. UV-vis-NIR spectra revealed that the blend shows about 95% transmittance, reduced by 10-30% after doping. The absorp
