Using casting technology, nanocomposites are created from a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene glycol (PEG) doped with silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) in their different amounts: 0, 2, 4, and 6 wt.%. At frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 5 MHz, the A.C. electrical properties of PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites are studied. Experimental results indicate that an increase in proportion of Ag NPs led to an increase in A.C. electrical properties of the PVA–PEG mixture, including dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and A.C. electrical conductivity. Moreover, when frequency increases from 100 Hz to 5 MHz, A.C. electrical conductivity increases, while the dielectric constant and dielectric loss decrease. The improved dielectric properties of PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites make them suitable for a range of electricity and energy storage applications. The study provides a new understanding of materials' design for electrical and electronic applications.

KEY WORDS: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), silver (Ag) nanoparticles, PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites
