Interfacial modulation in OPVA–ZnO–GO nanocomposites for enhanced proton transport and emission control

Flexible electronic platforms require polymer nanocomposites that integrate high optical transparency, tunable photoluminescence (PL), and efficient proton transport. Conventional poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) systems often suffer from limited chain mobility and poor nanoparticle dispersion, leading to trade-offs among these properties. To address limitations in conventional PVA systems, namely poor nanoparticle dispersion, limited chain mobility, and suboptimal hydrogen bonding, we present a carbonyl-rich oxidized PVA (OPVA) matrix doped with ZnO nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO).
