Polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) has been used as the matrix to synthesize ZnS /PVA composite films by means of the Chemical method. The as-obtained films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Ultraviolet–visible (UV–VIS) absorption, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The results confirmed that the size of the as-synthesized ZnS nanoparticles depends on the amount of ZnCl2 salt. The photoluminescence and UV–VIS spectroscopy revealed that the ZnS/PVA films showed quantum confinement effect. The primary FTIR spectra of ZnS/PVA nanocomposite in different PVA:ZnCl2 have been discussed. The results indicate that the introduction of ZnS decreased the degree of crystallinity of PVA.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
