Synthesis of high conductivity Polyaniline/Ag/graphite nanosheet composites via ultrasonic technique

A new process for the synthesis of high conductivity polyaniline/Ag/graphite nanosheet (PANI/Ag/NanoG) composites was developed. Graphite nanosheet was prepared by treating the expanded graphite in aqueous alcohol solution using sonication, and a uniform silver film about 470 nm thick was obtained on graphite nanosheet surface via an improved electroless plating method. Then PANI/Ag/NanoG composites were fabricated via in situ polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of silver coated graphite nanosheet through using ultrasonic technique. The sliver particles and composites were evidenced by scanning and transmission electron microscopy examinations, the results showed that the silver coated graphite nanosheet particles played an important role in forming conducting bridge in polyaniline matrix. According to the electrically test, the conductivity of the PANI/Ag/NanoG composites was dramatically increased compared with pure PANI. From the thermogravimetric analysis, the PANI/Ag/NanoG composites exhibited a beneficial effect on the thermal stability of pure PANI.     

Preparation and characterization of a PMMA/Ce(OH)3, Pr2O3/graphite nanosheet composite

An easy process for the synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate)/Ce(OH)₃, Pr₂O₃/graphite nanosheet (PMMA/Ce(OH)₃, Pr₂O₃/NanoG) composite was developed. Graphite nanosheets (NanoG) were prepared by treating the expanded graphite with sonication in aqueous alcohol solution. The PMMA/Ce(OH)₃, Pr₂O₃/NanoG composites were prepared via in situ polymerization of MMA monomer in the presence of graphite nanosheets and Ce(OH)₃, Pr₂O₃ through reverse micelle template, in which the methyl methacrylate was designated as the oily phase. The composites were then dispersed with chloroform and coated on glass slides to form films. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the structure and dispersion of the graphite nanosheets and the composites. The results showed that the high-aspect-ratio structure of the nanosheets played an important role in forming a conducting network in the PMMA matrix. From thermogravimetric analysis, the introduction of graphite nanosheets and inorganic nanopartices exhibited a beneficial effect on the thermal stability of PMMA.     

Preparation and thermal conductivity of novolac/Ni/graphite nanosheet composites

A high thermal conductivity novolac/nickel/graphite nanosheet (novolac/Ni/NanoG) composite was synthesized through in situ polymerization. Graphite nanosheet (NanoG) was prepared by sonicating expanded graphite (EG) in an aqueous alcohol solution and was plated with nickel through an electrodeposition method. The X‐ray diffraction spectrum shows that nickel was successfully plated onto the graphite surface and the nickel thickness is about 27.89 nm. The microstructures of the Ni/NanoG were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results reveal that nickel particles with the average diameter of 25 nm are coated on NanoG surface homogeneously and densely. Energy dispersive spectrometry spectrum confirms that the Ni content coated on NanoG surface, whose atomic percentage is 61%, is much higher than that of C element. The values predicted by theoretical model were underestimated the thermal conductivity of novolac/Ni/NanoG composites. Among NG, EG, NanoG, and Ni/NanoG four kinds of particles, the Ni/NanoG improved the thermal conductivity of novolac resin significantly. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012

Characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels and PVA-derived hybrids by small-angle X-ray scattering and FTIR spectroscopy

The purpose of this study is to develop novel poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel blends and PVA-derived organic-inorganic hybrid materials and perform nanostructural characterizations. PVA and PEG hydrogels were prepared by dissolving the polymer in aqueous solution, followed by addition of glutaraldehyde (GA) chemical crosslinker. Hybrids were synthesized by reacting PVA in aqueous solution with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). PVA/TEOS were also modified in the nanometer-scale by crosslinking with GA during the synthesis reaction. Hydrogels and hybrids were characterized by using small-angle X-ray scattering synchrotron radiation (SAXS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thin film samples were prepared for SAXS experiments. SAXS results have indicated different nano-ordered disperse phases for hydrogels made of PVA, PEG, PVA/GA, PVA/PEG. Also, PVA/TEOS and PVA/TEOS/GA hybrids have indicated different X-ray scattering patterns. FTIR spectra have showed major vibration bands associated with organic-inorganic chemical groups present in the hybrid nanocomposites PVA/TEOS and PVA/TEOS/GA. PVA/PEG hydrogels and PVA-derived hybrid materials were successfully produced with GA crosslinking in nanometer-scale network.

Hybrid polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinyl chloride nanocomposites reinforced with graphene-carbon nanotube for acid red environmental treatments

ABSTRACT

Hybrid polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl chloride/graphene and carbon nanotube nanocomposites PVA–PVC/Gr–CNTs_a-e were successfully synthesized by a solution-casting method. Mixed Gr–CNTs ratio (50%:50%) was prepared in 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt% and added to the host polymers (PVA/PVC). The characterization tools for the fabricated nanocomposites show homogenous interaction between the fillers and PVA/PVC polymer matrix. A significant improvement in the thermal properties of the (PVA/PVC) matrix was observed by adding mixed fillers, even at low loadings of mixed Gr–CNTs on to the matrix. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images of the prepared composites show a good dispersion of PVA–PVC and mixed Gr–CNTs and present core-shell morphology. Impressive improvement in the percentage of acid red removal using PVA–PVC/Gr–CNTs_a–e was achieved and improved with time, solution temperature, and composites mass. The process of removing acid red was described kinetically and thermodynamically. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model is the most appropriate kinetic model to describe the adsorption of acid red by PVA–PVC and PVA–PVC/Gr–CNTs_d nanocomposites from an aqueous solution. Our results offer a facile method for the removal of acid red from three types of water: red sea, tap water, and distilled water.

Nanostructured PZT synthesized from metal–polyvinyl alcohol gel: Studies on metal–polymer interaction

PbZr_0.53Ti_0.47O₃ (PZT) nanoparticles of size distribution ～1–6 nm were synthesized by single‐step autoignition of metal–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel. The physical and chemical bonding between the metals ions and PVA in gel was analyzed from the results of the characterization by FTIR, SEM, and XRD techniques. The appearance of a doublet band between 3500 and 3200 cm^?1 and the shifting of stretching frequency of O? H band in the FTIR spectra of gel indicated strong electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and the polar OH groups of the polymer. The electrostatic interaction decreased the extent of hydrogen bonding drastically due to engagement of polar OH groups in complex formation with the metal ions. Microstructural study of the dried gel by SEM coupled with its FTIR analyses indicated crosslinking in the metal–polymer gel. The loss of crystallinity of PVA in gel detected by XRD also indicated the drastic degradation of hydrogen bonding in PVA due to the formation of coordination complex with the metal ions. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
