Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present article deals with the preparation and characterization of pure and lead oxide (PbO) nanoparticles embedded polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films by using a colloidal processing technique. PbO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using the simple precipitation method. Polymer/ceramic-based flexible and self-standing films were obtained and further characterized using various analytical techniques. The mechanical and dielectric properties were also investigated. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicate that the structural characterization of PVA is strongly affected by the incorporation of PbO. Thermal analysis results indicate that the thermal stability of the PbO-doped PVA film has improved as compared with the neat PVA film. The mechanical property of nanocomposites has improved significantly due to an increase in filler loadings, indicating that a good interaction exists between PbO nanoparticles and PVA matrix. The dielectric constant of PVA/PbO nanocomposites has significantly improved with comparatively low dielectric loss values, indicating that the nanocomposites can be considered as an attractive material for embedded capacitor applications.
