Abstract: The optical characteristics of PolyMethyl Metha Acrylate (PMMA) films doped with copper nanopaticles were studied. The polymer films were prepared using solution casting technique different concentrations (0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 wt.%) of the Cu nanoparticles, the optical properties of the prepared films were investigated. The optical absorption spectra of these films in the wavelength range from (190-1100 nm) were measured to investigate the influence of Cu nanoparticles on the optical properties of PMMA. The results showed that energy gap of the polymer films decreases with increasing Cu nanoparticles concentration. The absorbance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, parts dielectric constant (real and imaginary) of the prepared PMMA films were found to be increased with increasing the concentration of Cu nanoparticles. The magnetic field gives a better chance of all optical properties.
