Synthesis and Raman Scattering Characterization of NRHA for Nanocomposite Applications

Abstract This paper presents synthesis of Nano Rice Husk Ash and Raman spectra for rice husk ash and rice husk ash milled in Planetary Ball Mill. Rice husk is collected from a rice mill at Kakinada and is thoroughly washed, dried and then burnt in electric furnace at 650 0 C for one and half hour so as to get white ash. This ash is in macro size and is milled in planetary ball mill for 36 hours. Samples were taken for every one hour. The raw rice husk and nano rice husk ash samples were characterized by taking Raman spectra.
