Polymeric sulfides CdS, CuS, and NiS in polyvinyl alcohol matrix

Cadmium, copper, and nickel sulfides have been synthesized in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix. The specimens have been investigated by means of vibration spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The obtained data have confirmed the formation of cadmium sulfide with a polymeric chain structure in polyvinyl alcohol. The possibility of producing similar materials based on copper and nickel sulfides has been discussed.
