Pure poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) films and PEO-FeCl_3 films of various concentration were prepared and studied for thermal and optical properties. Various analytical techniques like XRD, EDX, SEM, TGA, and UV were used to examine the structural properties of PEO and PEO-FeCl_3 systems. X-ray scans (XRD) revealed the existence of some crystalline part in the PEO matrix. The concentration of FeCl_3 has a great effect on the crystallinity of PEO. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data established that accumulation of FeCl_3 to PEO films enhanced the thermal stability of PEO. The optical properties of these systems were also studied in the UV-Visible …
