Bahaa H. Rabee, Arkan Abbas Kadhim

Abstract: In this paper, samples of composites consisting of polyvinyl alcohol- polyvinyl acetate and rice shell were prepared by using the casting method. The polymers composites which the prepared have many applications. The concentrations of rice shell are (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35) wt. %. The results show that the optical properties of polymer matrix are changed with the increase of the rice shell concentrations.
