This work aims to improve the optical properties of photonic nanodevices based on nanostructures of silver (Ag), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). By solution casting with varying concentrations of Ag nanoparticles (0, 2, 4, and 6 wt.%), PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites are fabricated. The optical properties of PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites are studied experimentally. The results show that the absorbance and absorption coefficient of the PVA–PEG mixture are increased, while both the permeability and energy gap (permissible and forbidden) are decreased with increasing concentration of Ag nanoparticles. The study results indicate that the inclusion of Ag nanoparticles into the PVA–PEG mixture results in improved optical properties, making PVA–PEG–Ag nanocomposites as viable materials for a variety of photonic-nanodevice applications.
