Fast Photodegradation of Malachite Green using Nano-ZnO on Ceramic MgAl Carbonate Layered Double Hydroxides Support

The nanopowders of Mg-Al carbonate layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDH) were prepared via coprecipitation process. ZnO nanoparticles were homogeneously coated on the ceramic MgAl-LDH surface. After calcination at 500 ℃ for 4 h, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed to investigate the crystal structure and morphology, respectively. It was demonstrated that ZnO nanoparticles were successfully prepared on ceramic MgAl-LDH support. The obtained nano-ZnO photocatalyst showed a high pho-tocatalytic degradation of malachite green. The enhanced photocatalytic property can be attributed to both high photocatalytic activity of ZnO and good adsorption behavior of ceramic MgAl-LDH, in which the aky structure of MgAl-LDH plays an important role.     

Flame-retarded polystyrene: Investigating chemical interactions between ammonium polyphosphate and MgAl layered double hydroxide

Potential flame retardants, MgAl-LDH and ammonium polyphosphate (APP), were added to neat polystyrene (PS) individually or in combinations at weight fractions no greater than 10%. Structural morphologies of MgAl-LDH and the corresponding PS nanocomposites were established via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone calorimetry were used to study the thermal stability and fire performance of the composites. Time to ignition is greatly reduced for PS composites when compared to the virgin polymer. Synergistic effects were observed in both TGA and cone calorimetry for formulations containing both MgAl-LDH and APP. Physical and chemical interactions between MgAl-LDH and APP are responsible for the observed synergy in thermal stability and fire performance.     

LDPE/Mg-Al layered double hydroxide nanocomposite: Thermal and flammability properties

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are new nanofillers which exhibit improved thermal and flammability properties in various kinds of polymer matrices. These materials have certain advantages over conventional metal hydroxides and also layered silicates so far as the flame retardancy is concerned. In this article, flammability and thermal properties of the nanocomposite based on low density polyethylene (LDPE) and Mg-Al based layered double hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH) are reported in detail. The nanocomposites containing different LDH concentrations were prepared by melt-compounding using a tightly intermeshing co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The morphological analysis reveals an exfoliated/intercalated type LDH particle morphology in these nanocomposites. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that even a small amount of LDH improves the thermal stability and onset decomposition temperature in comparison with the unfilled LDPE. The heat release rate (HRR) and its maximum (PHRR) during cone-calorimeter investigation are found to be reduced significantly with increasing LDH concentration. The nanocomposites not only exhibit reduced total heat released (measure of propensity to produce long duration fire), but also lower tendency to fast fire growth (measured by the ratio of PHRR and time of ignition). The limited oxygen index (LOI) and the dripping behavior are also improved with increasing LDH concentration.     

Thermal and photocatalytic behavior of Ti/LDH nanocomposites

The development of nanocomposite photocatalyst based on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) associated with TiO₂ was the subject of this research. The thermally activated Zn–Al LDHs were selected as catalyst support precursor because of their proven photocatalytic activity and therefore their possible contribution to overall activity of novel Ti–Zn–Al nanocomposite. The catalyst precursor (Zn–Al LDH) was synthesized by low supersaturation coprecipitation method, and its association with active TiO₂ component targeting the formation of novel Ti–Zn–Al nanocomposite was achieved by wet impregnation. Simultaneous thermal analysis (TG–DTA) was used to investigate the thermal behavior of Zn–Al LDH and Ti–Zn–Al LDHs. Complementary, morphology, texture, and structure characterization was carried out. The photocatalytic test reaction was performed under UV light using the methylene blue degradation. The results confirmed a successful impregnation of TiO₂ on catalyst support precursor Zn–Al–LDH followed by considerable change in morphology and structure of Zn–Al LDH precursor. It was concluded that the synergic effect between TiO₂ and Zn–Al LDH precursor contributes to the overall photocatalytic activity.     

Thermal stability and thermal aging of poly(vinyl chloride)/MgAl layered double hydroxides composites

MgAl-LDH(layered double hydroxides) were prepared with CO(NH_2)_2, NH_4 Cl and NH_3·H_2O by the coprecipitation method, respectively. Corresponding composite membranes were prepared by the coating method. LDHs were characterized by WAXS, CO_2-TPD and SEM. The morphology of the PVC/LDHs composite membranes were characterized by means of SEM. The thermal stability of the membranes was analyzed by air aging box and TGA-FTIR. The SEM results show that nano-particles can be compatible with poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) matrix homogeneously by the stirring-ultrasound blend method with two steps. Furthermore, the air aging box results proved that MgAl-CO(NH_2)_2-LDH has the best effect on thermal stability of PVC. TGA-FTIR results show that MgAl-CO(NH_2)_2-LDH could adsorb more HCl that resulted from the degradation of PVC and improve the pyrolysis temperature of the first degradation stage by 15 K compared with PVC.     

N-substituted poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)

N-substituted poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)s (PPTA), such as N-alkylated, N-aralkylated, and N-carboxymethylated poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), were synthesized from PPTA and the corresponding halides by the polymer reaction via the metalation reaction in a solution of sodium methylsulfinylcarbanion in dimethyl sulfoxide at low temperature. The introduction of various substitutional groups into the amide groups of PPTA increased their solubilities, but decreased their thermal stabilities compared with PPTA. The effects of various substitutional groups on the thermal properties and the solubilities are discussed. Liquid crystal formation was noticed for PPTA substituted with bulky groups such as 9-anthrylmethyl group.     

PVA nanocomposites reinforced with Zn<Subscript>2</Subscript>Al LDHs,intercalated with orange dyes

Zn₂Al-layered double hydroxides (LDH) were intercalated with anions of the dyes Orange G, Orange II, and Methyl Orange by alkaline co-precipitation of aqueous solutions of zinc chloride and aluminum nitrate simultaneously in the presence of dye sodium salts. Transparent, homogeneous, and colored nanocomposite films were obtained by casting after dispersing the dye-intercalated LDHs (pigments) into commercial poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)) and differential thermal analysis (DTA)), and mechanical testing. Mechanical reinforcement of the PVA compounded with the dye-intercalated LDHs was achieved, and reasonable increases in Young’s modulus and ultimate tensile strength were observed with as little as 0.5% added filler, while larger amounts tended to decrease the reinforcement effect. These results demonstrate the onset of a new range of potential applications for layered double hydroxide intercalated with dyes in the preparation of polymer composite multifunctional materials.     

Thermal properties and combustion characterization of nylon 6/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites via organic modification and melt intercalation

The nylon 6/MgAl layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) nanocomposites have been prepared by melt intercalation of nylon 6 into the part organic dodecyl sulfate (DS) anion-modified MgAl(H-DS) interlayers. The structures and properties of MgAl(H-DS) and corresponding nanocomposites were characterized by ion chromotography, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and cone calorimeter test (CCT). The nanoscale dispersion of MgAl(H-DS) layers in the nylon 6 matrix has been verified by the disappearance of d₀₀₁ XRD diffraction peak of MgAl(H-DS) and the observation of TEM image. DSC tests evince that these exfoliated MgAl(H-DS) layers play the role of nucleating agents with strong heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallization of nylon 6 and increase its crystallization temperature over 12 °C with only 5 wt% MgAl(H-DS). TGA tests show that the effect of alkaline catalysis degradation from LDH on nylon 6 decreases the thermal stability of nylon 6/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites. The data from the cone calorimeter tests show that the HRR and MLR values of the sample with 5 wt% MgAl(H-DS) decrease considerably to 664 kW/m² and 0.161 g/m² s from 1064 kW/m² and 0.252 g/m² s of pure nylon 6, respectively. This kind of exfoliated nanocomposite is promising for the application of flame-retardant polymeric materials.     

Porosity development in chars from thermal decomposition of poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)

The main objective of this work was to investigate the development of porosity in solid residues from the thermal decomposition of the polymer, poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA). PPTA chars were prepared at different temperatures and characterized by X-ray diffraction and physical adsorption of CO₂ at 0 °C. The carbonization temperatures were selected on the basis of thermogravimetric analysis results. The effect of introducing an isothermal treatment at 500 °C on the characteristics of the resulting chars was also studied. It was found that this pre-treatment lowers the decomposition temperature of PPTA and yields a somewhat less ordered material than in the case of pyrolysis under a constant heating rate. The micropore volume increases with increasing heat treatment temperature for both series of samples. The mean micropore size decreases for the two series of chars until the 700-800 °C interval; above these temperatures, this evolution is reversed. The micropore volume of the samples submitted to the isothermal treatment is higher than when PPTA is treated under a constant heating rate. Likewise, the pore size distribution is more heterogeneous when the intermediate isothermal treatment at 500 °C is introduced during PPTA pyrolysis. Some differences between porosity development in chars from PPTA and other high thermal stability polymers were explained on the basis of different mechanistic features in polymer pyrolysis.     

Gold Nanoparticle-based Colorimetric Sensor for pH Sensing

We present a newly designed colorimetric sensor sensitive to pH value based on a gold nanocomposite composed of gold nanoparticles and pH-sensitive polymer{dodecylthioether end functionalized poly[2-（diethylamino） ethyl methacrylate], poly（DEAEMA）-DDT}. We have shown that this design can produce stable GNP precipitate under weakly basic condition（pH=7.5） and this precipitate can be dispersed in acidic solution（pH=4.0）, due to the 2-（diethylamino） ethyl methacrylate protonated by H＋. The precipitation-dispersion process is reversible and accompanied by distinct color change that are clearly visible to the naked eye. This development may have application in the controlled fabrication of reversible pH-sensitive nanostructures and/or devices.
