Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

  1. The abstract is too long and poorly organized.
  2. Lack of novelty.
  3. Similar works relevant to this work should be presented and discussed, and the advancement of this work was not clearly demonstrated in Introduction.
  4. The detailed information of the materials used in this work is not presented.
  5. The figure format need to be improved.
  6. What did the authors want to imply for presenting the FTIR results?

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors present an extensive study about the synthesis and characterization of PMMA-PVA/CuO NPs, giving explanations accesible to a broader audience. However, there are some issues that must be addressed:

  1. The originality of the study is not well motivated, in comparison, firstly, with their other published articles and secondly, with the work of other researchers. The authors have similar studies in which PMMA-PVA/TiO2 NPs or PMMA-PVA/SiO2 NPs were investigated.
  2. It must be specified the devices used for the characterization of samples.
  3. The SEM images are at a low resolution and must be changed with images of a higher quality.
  4. The manuscript has to be put in the journal's format.
