Polyimide-ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by blending flower-like ZnO and the poly(amic acid). The prepared polyimide-ZnO nanocomposite films were characterized for their structure, morphology, and thermal behavior employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron micrograph (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal analysis (DTA/TGA/DSC) techniques. These studies showed the homogenous dispersion of ZnO in the polyimide matrix with an increase in the thermal steadiness of the composite films on ZnO loadings.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFlower-likeMicrowave techniquesNanoparticlesPolyimideZnOArticle52131368137510.1080/03602559.2013.8207472-s2.0-84885065375N/AWOS:000324979300013N/A
