Electrically conducting nylon 6,6–polyaniline short composite fibres synthesised by the solvent coagulation method

Polyaniline (PANI) was blended with nylon 6,6 in concentrated H₂SO₄ and HCl solutions. The solvent coagulation method was utilised to extract short composite fibres of a centimetre in length. A solution of n-butyl acetate, acetone, toluene, 1 μM HCl and chloroform were used as coagulating bath to extract the fibres. The diameters of the fibres ranged from 200 to 300 nm, while the length measured approximately 1 cm, as determined from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The electrical conductivity varied from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻² S/cm for different mass fractions of PANI (x_PANI) in the composite fibres. The percolation threshold was reached at x_PANI values between 0.15 and 0.2, and further addition of PANI resulted in saturation of the conductivity of the composite fibre. To observe the effect of MWCNTs on the electrical conductivity of the nylon–PANI fibres, 0.04 g, 0.08 g, 0.4 g and 0.5 g of MWCNTs (1, 2, 10, 12.5 weight percentage, respectively) were added into the nylon–PANI solution and were extracted as fibres in the aforementioned solvents. The electrical conductivity of the short fibres increased by an order of magnitude (0.372 S/cm at 12.5 wt.%) when they were extracted in the presence of the MWCNTs. PANI doped in concentrated HCl exhibited an electrical conductivity of 4.46 S/cm.     

Morphology‐dependent electrochemical performance of nitrogen‐doped carbon dots@polyaniline hybrids for supercapacitors

In this work, the binary N‐CDs@PANI hybrids were fabricated by introducing zero‐dimensional nitrogen‐doped carbon dots (N‐CDs) into reticulated PANI. Firstly, N‐CDs were prepared by one‐pot microwave method, and then, the N‐CDs were introduced into in situ oxidative polymerization of aniline (ANI) monomer. The N‐CDs with abundant functional groups and high electronic cloud density played a significant role in guiding the polyaniline‐ordered growth into intriguing morphologies. Moreover, morphology‐dependent electrochemical performances of N‐CDs@PANI hybrids were investigated and N‐CDs improve static interaction and enhance the special capacitances in the N‐CDs@PANI hybrids. Especially, the specific capacitance of PC4 hybrid can reach 785 F g^?1, which exceed that of pure PANI (274 F g^?1) at current density of 0.5 A g^?1 according to three‐electrode measurement. And the capacitance retention of the PC4 hybrid still keeps 70% after 2000 cycles of charge and discharge. The N‐CDs@PANI hybrids can have potential applications in electrode materials, supercapacitors, nonlinear optics, and microwave absorption.

Preparation and performance of PANI–PVA composite film doped with HCl

The polyaniline (PANI)–poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite film doped with HCl was prepared by adopting PVA as matrix. Effects of PVA content and film drying temperature on properties of HCl–PANI–PVA composite film were studied. A comparison was made for tensile strength, elasticity, conductivity and thermal stability of PVA, HCl–PANI or HCl–PANI–PVA. PVA film presented the highest tensile strength and elasticity (150.8?MPa and 300.0%), but its conductivity was the lowest. The conductivity of HCl–PANI–PVA was the highest (1500?S?m^?1), and tensile strength and elasticity of HCl–PANI–PVA were higher than those of HCl–PANI. The order of their thermal stability is PVA?>?HCl–PANI?>?HCl–PANI–PVA before 260°C, and the order of their thermal stability is HCl–PANI?>?HCl–PANI–PVA?>?PVA after 260°C. At the same time, the structure and conductive mechanism of composite materials were characterised and analysed through infrared and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).     

Polymer brush coatings for combating marine biofouling

A variety of functional polymer brushes and coatings have been developed for combating marine biofouling and biocorrosion with much less environmental impact than traditional biocides. This review summarizes recent developments in marine antifouling polymer brushes and coatings that are tethered to material surfaces and do not actively release biocides. Polymer brush coatings have been designed to inhibit molecular fouling, microfouling and macrofouling through incorporation or inclusion of multiple functionalities. Hydrophilic polymers, such as poly(ethylene glycol), hydrogels, zwitterionic polymers and polysaccharides, resist attachment of marine organisms effectively due to extensive hydration. Fouling release polymer coatings, based on fluoropolymers and poly(dimethylsiloxane) elastomers, minimize adhesion between marine organisms and material surfaces, leading to easy removal of biofoulants. Polycationic coatings are effective in reducing marine biofouling partly because of their good bactericidal properties. Recent advances in controlled radical polymerization and click chemistry have also allowed better molecular design and engineering of multifunctional brush coatings for improved antifouling efficacies.     

Epoxy curing by polyaniline (PANI) – Characterization and self-healing evaluation

Polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline dissolved in aqueous phosphoric acid. The polymer was characterized by UV–Visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) techniques. Hardener free epoxy coating was formulated with 10% PANI. The curing process of epoxy resin by PANI was analyzed using FTIR and a suitable mechanism of curing was suggested. The corrosion protective performance of conventional polyamide cured epoxy and PANI cured epoxy coating on steel has been assessed in 3% NaCl by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The self-healing property of the PANI cured epoxy coating on steel in 3% NaCl was studied by scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET).
