Solution casting is used to create the PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites of silver (Ag), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with varying weight ratios of Ag nanoparticles: 0, 2, 4, and 6 wt.%. The results show that the index of refraction, the extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant, and the optical conductivity all increase with increasing of concentration of Ag nanoparticles. These results could be crucial for the use of PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites in a variety of photonics applications and optoelectronic devices.

KEY WORDS: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), silver (Ag), extinction coefficient, dielectric constant, optical conductivity
