In this study, nickel nitrate and ammonium hydroxide are utilized in an aqueous solution as initial substances, along with a chemical precipitation technique to create NiO nanoparticles, avoiding the need for complex machinery or harmful and costly solvents. Research was conducted to study the characteristics of films made of NiO nanoparticles doped with CMC/PVA, focusing on both structural and optical characteristics. The CMC/PVA polymer blend films were infused with varying amounts of NiO nanoparticles (3%, 5%, 7%, and 8%) through the solvent casting method, resulting in films with a thickness of 30±1 μm. The results showed that the NiO doping content influenced the optical transmittance (%) in the 190-1200 nm wavelength range, resulting in reduced transmittance for all samples. The doping ratio affected the optical parameters of the films.
