Preparation and characterization of electrospun core sheath nanofibers from multi-walled carbon nanotubes and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)

Electrospinning is a versatile technique to prepare polymer fibers in nano to micrometer size ranges using very high electrostatic fields. Electrospun nanofibers with tunable porosity and high specific surface area have various applications, including chromatographic supports for protein separation, biomedical devices, tissue engineering and drug delivery matrices, and as key components in solar cells and supercapacitors. Unspinnable materials such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotubes or rigid conducting polymers can also be electrospun into fibers through co-axial electrospinning. In this study, we have prepared core-sheath nanofibers utilizing co-axial electrospinning. The core portion of these electrospun fibers consists of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and the sheath portion is poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). Various morphologies were obtained by changing both core and sheath solution concentrations. The core-sheath nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, to confirm core-sheath morphology, thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical strength testing. The electrical conductivity of the surfaces of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) fibers and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)-multi-walled nanotube fibers were both 10(-15) S/m. The highest bulk conductivity observed for the poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)-multi-walled nanotube fibers was 1.2 x 10(-3) S/m.     

Reversible photochromic properties of TiO2-polymer nanocomposites

Composite films of nanosized TiO2 particles, which contained rutile as the only detected crystal modification, and poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) or poly(4-vinylpyridine) were prepared from aqueous dispersions. During exposure to UV irradiation the nanocomposites comprising poly(vinyl alcohol) or poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) turned blue as a consequence of a partial reduction of TiIV to TiIII. The color intensity increased with increasing TiO2 content and irradiation time. This color did not fade after removal of the UV source in spite of the sensitivity of TiIII to atmospheric oxygen. By contrast, exposure to water caused the nanocomposites to adopt their original colorless appearance. These colorization-decolorization cycles could be repeated more than 10 times without apparent loss of intensity. Due to the small size of the TiO2 nanoparticles (ca. 3 nm), patterned blue structures of high resolution could be created in the polymeric materials, for instance with simple masking methods.     

Characterization of hydrogel blends of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) and poly(vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate)

Hydrogel blends were prepared from water-soluble polymers of poly(vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The method of preparation was optimized and different compositions of blends were characterized. The effect of thermal treatment and the introduction of an aldehydic crosslinking agent in the blend was also studied. The swelling characteristics of the various compositions, their thermal behaviour and the state of water was examined. Mechanical properties of the hydrogels were determined and it was observed that blends containing glutaraldehyde produced materials with good mechanical integrity and high water contents.     

Macroporous conductive polymer films fabricated by electrospun nanofiber templates and their electromechanical properties

We demonstrate a facile method to fabricate macroporous poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly (4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) films with empty channels by using electrospun nanofiber as a sacrificial template. The channels within the PEDOT/PSS films were prepared by depositing PEDOT/PSS aqueous dispersion onto poly (vinyl pyrrolidone)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PVP/PMMA) nanofiber template, and then the nanofibers were removed by solvent extraction. The average diameter of the channels is 313±45 nm, which is almost the same as the parent PVP/PMMA nanofibers. The macroporous PEDOT/PSS film with the empty channels showed an enhancement of electromechanical properties compared to the nonporous PEDOT/PSS film.     

Right bipyramids of silver: a new shape derived from single twinned seeds

Silver nanoparticles with a single (111) twin were selectively nucleated and grown for the first time to produce right bipyramids 75-150 nm in edge length. Key to the production of single twinned seeds was the addition of NaBr to a polyol synthesis in which AgNO3 is reduced by ethylene glycol in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). Examination of nanoparticles at different stages of the reaction with electron microscopy revealed that the spherical, single twinned seeds grew to become right bipyramids through enlargement of their (100) facets. The UV-vis-NIR spectrum exhibited by right bipyramids is distinct from that of any other silver nanostructure, and their sharp corners make these new nanoparticles especially promising for enhancement of Raman scattering.     

Introducing CTAB into CdTe/PVP nanofibers enhances the photoluminescence intensity of CdTe nanoparticles

The major objective of this work is focused on the preparation and characterization of the photoluminescence (PL) property of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) embedding CdTe nanoparticles. The CdTe nanoparticles were generated via the reaction of Cd²⁺ with NaHTe and then stabilized by thiolglycolic acid (TGA). In the process of preparing CdTe/PVP nanofibers by electrospinning, a surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was introduced to prevent CdTe nanoparticles from congregating inside the PVP nanofibers. Then the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction (ED) showed that the average diameter of CdTe/PVP nanofibers was 300 (± 61) nm, in which the CdTe nanoparticles were incorporated into the PVP nanofibers homogeneously. Finally, the PL spectra proved that the photoluminescence intensity of CdTe/PVP nanofibers was enhanced by the addition of CTAB.

The final products were thoroughly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), which showed the formation of AgCl nanoparticles/PVP composite nanofibres.     

Synthesis of monodisperse gold nanoparticles in ionic liquid by applying room temperature plasma

These nanoparticles show enhanced activity and stability for electro-oxidation of methanol.     

A simple hydrothermal route to fabrication of single-crystalline silver nanoplates using poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)

In this process, poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) acts as both reducing agent and shape-directing agent. SAED and XRD measurements reveal that the growth of silver nanoplates is mainly dominated by (111) facets.
