Abstract

Pure DGEBA epoxy polymer (DGEBA-EP) and MB: DGEBA-EPCPs with different MB dye contents were made using a basic casting suspension system. The enhancing effect of MB organic dye doping on the structural, optical, and dielectric properties has been investigated. The spectra XRD analysis shows an amorphous crystalline peak of approximately\(2\theta^\circ =18^\circ\) explaining the pure DGEBA-EP matrix semi-crystalline structure. No XRD-related trends peak related to MB atoms shows a high level of polymer mixture formation free from crystalline MB atoms and total miscibility of MB dye in the DGEBA-EP matrix. Since indirect band gaps are decreasing, light absorption behavior is improved, making the panels suitable for optical laser filter tools. A complete UV–Vis’s blocking in wavelength at 675 nm for the high levels of MB organic dye has been enhanced by limiting effect measurements of the MB: DGEBA-EPCPs. Our dielectric parameters pronounced that the MB organic dye is a respectable filler to enhance the electrical AC conductivity of the MB: DGEBA-EPCPs materials.

All authors contributed to the study of the structural, optical, and dielectric properties of the MB: DGEBA-EPCPs with different MB dye content. These epoxy polymer composite systems were prepared by the direct dispersion method. Their uses in optoelectronic device materials are enhanced. XRD, UV–Vis-NIR optical absorbance data, and dielectric spectroscopy data were analyzed and performed as a function of the effect of wt % MB organic dye on various properties of the DGEBA-EP matrix by [WJ], [SG], [AB], [FFA-H], [OK], [HG], and [ISY]. The spectra XRD analysis shows an amorphous crystalline peak of approximately \(2\theta^\circ =18^\circ\), explaining the pure DGEBA-EP matrix semi-crystalline structure. No XRD-related trends peak related to MB atoms shows a high level of polymer mixture formation free from crystalline MB atoms and total miscibility of MB dye in the DGEBA-EP matrix. The decrease in the indirect band gaps enhanced the light absorption behaviors, making the materials potentially used in optical laser filter devices. A complete UV–Vis’s blocking in wavelength at 675 nm for the high levels of MB organic dye has been enhanced by limiting effect measurements of the MB: DGEBA-EPCPs. Our dielectric parameters pronounced that the MB organic dye is a good filler to enhance the electrical conductivity of the MB: DGEBA-EPCPs materials. The first draft of the manuscript was written by [AB] and all authors commented on previous versions of the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
