Composites of Polystyrene Sulfonic Acid (PSSA)‐Polyaniline and Montmorillonite Clay: Synthesis and Characterization

Polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA) doped water‐soluble polyaniline (PANI)/montmorillonite (MMT) clay composites were synthesized by intercalation polymerization in aqueous medium. The properties of the composites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and conductivity measurement. The results show that the composite has a mixed nanomorphology and exfoliated silicate nanolayers of MMT clay dispersed in the polyaniline matrix. This composite is more thermal stable than that without clay samples and results in good stable temperature‐dependent dc conductivity [σ_dc(T)] as temperature changed.     

Copper–Organic Framework Fabricated with CuS Nanoparticles: Synthesis,Electrical Conductivity,and Electrocatalytic Activities for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

To apply electrically nonconductive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in an electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), we have developed a new method for fabricating various amounts of CuS nanoparticles (nano‐CuS) in/on a 3D Cu–MOF, [Cu₃(BTC)₂⋅(H₂O)₃] (BTC=1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate). As the amount of nano‐CuS increases in the composite, the electrical conductivity increases exponentially by up to circa 10⁹‐fold, while porosity decreases, compared with that of the pristine Cu‐MOF. The composites, nano‐CuS(x wt %)@Cu‐BTC, exhibit significantly higher electrocatalytic ORR activities than Cu‐BTC or nano‐CuS in an alkaline solution. The onset potential, electron transfer number, and kinetic current density increase when the electrical conductivity of the material increases but decrease when the material has a poor porosity, which shows that the two factors should be finely tuned by the amount of nano‐CuS for ORR application. Of these materials, CuS(28 wt %)@Cu‐BTC exhibits the best activity, showing the onset potential of 0.91 V vs. RHE, quasi‐four‐electron transfer pathway, and a kinetic current density of 11.3 mA cm⁻² at 0.55 V vs. RHE.

Synthesis and Characterization of Polyindole/Poly(vinyl acetate) Conducting Composites

Composites of a polyindole (PIN) and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were prepared chemically using FeCl₃ as an oxidant agent in anhydrous media. The composite compositions were altered by varying the indole monomer during preparation. The composites were characterized by FTIR and UV‐visible spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), stress‐strain experiments and conductivity measurements. Moreover, the film of PVAc and PIN/PVAc composites were prepared by casting on glass Petri dishes to examine their stress‐strain properties. PIN/PVAc composites are thermally more stable than PIN. It was found that the conductivities of PIN/PVAc composites depend on the indole content in the composites.     

Facile one‐step synthesis of electromagnetic functionalized polypyrrole/Fe3O4 nanotubes via a self‐assembly process

This article reports a simple self‐assembly process for facile one‐step synthesis of novel electromagnetic functionalized polypyrrole (PPy)/Fe₃O₄ composite nanotubes using p‐toluenesulfonic acid (p‐TSA) as the dopant and FeCl₃ as the oxidant. The key trick of the present method is to use FeCl₃ as the oxidant for both PPy and Fe₃O₄ in the same time to synthesize PPy/Fe₃O₄ composite nanotubes in one‐step. This facile one‐step method is much simpler than the conventional approach using the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as the additives. Compared to the similar composites synthesized using the conventional method, the as‐prepared PPy‐p‐TSA/Fe₃O₄ composite nanotubes using the facile one‐step self‐assembly process show much higher room‐temperature conductivity. Moreover, the composite nanotubes display interesting ferromagnetic behavior. The electrical properties of the PPy‐p‐TSA/Fe₃O₄ composite nanotubes are dominated by the amount of FeCl₃ while their magnetic properties are controlled by the amount of FeCl₂. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Composites of polyaniline and lead dioxide: preparation,characterization, and catalytic activity

This paper is devoted to the preparation of polyaniline/lead dioxide composites (PANI/PbO₂) via chemical oxidation of aniline in H₂SO₄ medium using β-PbO₂ as an oxidant. The parameters affecting the polymerization reaction are considered. These parameters are [aniline], amount of β-PbO₂, stirring time, and different acids. The prepared composites were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, DTA, and elemental analysis. From XRD and FT-IR spectra, it was concluded that high molecular weight polymer could be obtained with high aniline concentration, high amount of β-PbO₂, increasing polymerization time and polymerization of ANI at lower temperatures. Thermogravimetric study exhibited that the composite prepared using high amount of β-PbO₂ has a higher thermal stability. The application of the composites in the oxidative degradation of Alizarin yellow G and Acid alizarin violet N dyes exhibited good catalytic activity in presence of H₂O₂ as an oxidant. The reactions followed first-order kinetics and the rate constants were determined.     

Preparation and crystallization of isotactic polypropylene composites filled by titanium dioxide-supported montmorillonite with a β-nucleating surface

To obtain multi-functional β-iPP composites, β-iPP composites are always filled by multiple fillers with α-nucleating ability. To prepare β-iPP/TiO₂/MMT composites, TiO₂-supported MMT with a β-nucleating surface was prepared through hydrolysis reaction of Tetra-n-butyl titanate and chemical reaction between pimelic acid and calcium ion. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron micrograph confirmed the formation of TiO₂ on the surface of MMT. The differential scanning calorimeter and X-ray diffraction illustrated that the β-iPP composites filled by TiO₂ and MMT had lower relative β-phase contents than β-iPP. It is observed by polarized optical microscope that addition of TiO₂-supported MMT with a β-nucleating surface into iPP can increase the spherulite nuclei density and decrease the spherulite size significantly and obtain the β-iPP/TiO₂/MMT composites with high relative β-phase content.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Polyvinylferrocene/Polypyrrole Composites

Conducting polymer composites of polyvinylferrocene and polypyrrole (PVF/PPy) were synthesized chemically by the in situ polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of PVF using FeCl₃ as oxidant. Acetic (CH₃COOH) and boric (H₃BO₃) acids were used as the synthesis medium. Effects of the synthesis medium on the properties of the PVF/PPy composite were investigated. The PVF/PPy composites and homopolymers were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and magnetic susceptibility techniques. Conductivity measurements were performed using the four‐probe technique. We found that the conductivities of PVF/PPy‐H₃BO₃ (1.19 S cm^?1) and PVF/PPy‐CH₃COOH (4.5×10^?1 S cm^?1) increased relative to those of the homopolymers of PPy‐H₃BO₃ (2.1×10^?2 S cm^?1) and PPy‐CH₃COOH (1.2×10^?2 S cm^?1) due to the interaction of PVF with the pyrrole moiety. The stability of all homopolymers and composites were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and by conductivity measurements during heating‐cooling cycles. There was a small drop in conductivity caused by the annealing of PVF/PPy composites at 70°C. The conductivity of all samples increased with temperature and exhibited stable electrical behavior with increasing temperature. TGA analysis of samples showed that the composites were more stable than the homopolymers or PVF separately. The magnetic susceptibility values of samples were negative, except for PVF/PPy‐H₃BO₃. Morphology changes of the composites investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attributed to synthesis conditions, have a significant effect on their conductivity.     

Optical and Bioelectrochemical Characterization of Water‐Miscible Ionic Liquids Based Composites of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Acidic treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (AMWNTs) were ground with water‐miscible room temperature ionic liquids, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF₄), and resulted in AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ composite. Its electrical‐ionic conductivity and optical properties were compared with the other two types of carbon materials‐[bmim]BF₄ composites: pyrolytic graphite powder (PGP), pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PMWNTs), through the ac impedance technology and Raman spectroscopy. The impedance data show that AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ composite exhibits the highest conductivity. Raman spectra study exhibits that the [bmim]BF₄ can form gel with PMWNTs and AMWNTs but only form a viscous liquid with PGP. AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ gel modified GC electrode was applied in direct electrochemistry of heme proteins (Hb and HRP) and it catalysis to the reduction of H₂O₂ was investigated.     

Methyl triphenylphosphonium permanganate as a novel oxidant for aniline to polyaniline-manganese(II,IV) oxide: material for high performance pseudocapacitor

In this work, organic-inorganic composite materials of polyaniline and manganese oxide were synthesized and investigated their electrochemical performance. This composite material was prepared by oxidizing aniline with methyl triphenylphosphonium permanganate as a novel organic oxidant via aqueous, emulsion, and interfacial polymerization pathways. This process led to the formation of polyaniline-sulfate salt (PANI-SA-Mn₅O₈). Formation of polyaniline-sulfate salt was confirmed from FT-IR, EDAX, and XRD results. Formation of Mn₅O₈ was supported by XRD spectrum. PANI-SA-Mn₅O₈ prepared via emulsion polymerization pathway was obtained in porous nanorod morphology with high conductivity (9.4 S cm^?1) compared to that of the other sample prepared via interfacial pathway (1.7 S cm^?1). Whereas, aqueous polymerization pathway resulted in sheet-like morphology with a conductivity of 0.8 S cm^?1. These composites were used as pseudocapacitive electrode materials. Electrochemical characterization (cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance measurement) showed that composite prepared via emulsion polymerization pathway gave better electrochemical performance, and showed good cycling behavior.     

Coated/Sandwiched rGO/CoSx Composites Derived from Metal–Organic Frameworks/GO as Advanced Anode Materials for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Rational composite materials made from transition metal sulfides and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are highly desirable for designing high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Here, rGO‐coated or sandwiched CoS_x composites are fabricated through facile thermal sulfurization of metal–organic framework/GO precursors. By scrupulously changing the proportion of Co²⁺ and organic ligands and the solvent of the reaction system, we can tune the forms of GO as either a coating or a supporting layer. Upon testing as anode materials for LIBs, the as‐prepared CoS_x‐rGO‐CoS_x and rGO@CoS_x composites demonstrate brilliant electrochemical performances such as high initial specific capacities of 1248 and 1320 mA h g^?1, respectively, at a current density of 100 mA g^?1, and stable cycling abilities of 670 and 613 mA h g^?1, respectively, after 100 charge/discharge cycles, as well as superior rate capabilities. The excellent electrical conductivity and porous structure of the CoS_x/rGO composites can promote Li⁺ transfer and mitigate internal stress during the charge/discharge process, thus significantly improving the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.     

Effect Nd2O3 content on electrochemical performance of polyaniline/Nd2O3 composites

Polyaniline/neodymium(III) oxide (PANI/Nd₂O₃) composites were synthesized by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method, and the new electrode materials were used for supercapacitor. The composites were characterized physically by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). SEM, IR and XRD results showed the existence of interactions between PANI and Nd₂O₃. The electrochemical capacitance performance of the composites was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge tests and ac impedance spectroscopy with a three‐electrode system in 6 M KOH solution. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests proved that the addition of Nd₂O₃ enhanced the capacitance of the composites. However, the conductivity of the composites decreases with increasing the amount of Nd₂O₃. Electrochemical impedance tests manifest that the charge‐transfer resistance of the composites is smaller than that of the pure PANI, which indicates the addition of Nd₂O₃ could lower resistance and facilitate the charge transfer of the active materials. All results support that Nd₂O₃ has a significant contribution to the performance of PANI and makes the composites have more active sites for faradiac reaction and larger specific capacitance than pure PANI.

Nanocomposites of Polyaniline/Poly(2‐methoxyaniline‐5‐sulfonic acid)

Summary: Poly(2‐methoxyaniline‐5‐sulfonic acid) (PMAS) is a water‐soluble derivative of polyaniline that carries negatively charged sulfonate groups. This self‐doped conducting polymer also behaves like a polyelectrolyte that can subsequently function as a dopant in polyaniline (PAn). The chemical synthesis of PAn/PMAS is presented describing the preparation of a highly stable composite dispersion. TEM images reveal a mixture of well‐defined nanofibres and nanoparticles with diameters between 20 and 100 nm. The UV‐vis spectra of the PAn/PMAS composite in water and in alkaline media indicate that both PAn and PMAS are present in the composite. Electrochemical studies show that both of the conducting polymer components are capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction. The novel PAn/PMAS nanocomposite has enhanced electrical conductivity and stability compared to PAn/HCl nanofibres prepared under equivalent conditions, making it a promising material for applications in areas such as batteries, electronic textiles, electrochromics, and chemical sensors.

Polyanilme-montmorilltonite (PANl-MMT) nanocomposites: Mechanochemical synthesis,structure, thermostability and electrical properties

Polyaniline (PANI)-montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by direct intercalation of aniline molecules into MMT galleries, followed by in situ mechanochemical polymerization under solvent free conditions. X-rays diffraction, Fourier Transform Infra Red analyses and UV-vis spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of polyaniline chains between the MMT nano-interlayers. On increasing the amount of MMT basal spacing decreased gradually, suggesting less intercalation with decreasing amount of aniline. Scanning electron micrographs demonstrated strong differences between the morphologies of PANI-MMT nanocomposites and those of pure MMT and PANI. DC conductivity was measured in the temperature range from 145 K to 303 K using four probe methods. Temperature dependent DC conductivity of PANI and all the PANI-MMT composites followed 3 dimensional variable range hopping (3D VRH) model. Frequency dependent AC conductivity (σ_AC), dielectric constant (ɛ′) and loss factor (ɛ″) have been measured in the frequency range 10²–10⁶. All these measured quantities; σ_AC, ɛ′ and ɛ″ decreased with the increase in MMT content in the composites at all frequencies. The frequency dependence of σ_AC displayed a low frequency region below 10⁴ Hz with almost constant conductivity, while above this frequency a rapid rise in σ_AC was observed with a power law of frequency dependence with an exponent equal to 0.7. Both real and imaginary parts of the permittivity exhibited a low frequency dispersion which has been attributed to hopping of polarons and bipolarons in PANI and its composites. The thermal stability was checked by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and was found to be enhanced due to addition of MMT in the PANI.

Synthesis of electrically conductive polypyrrole-polystyrene composites using supercritical carbon dioxide: II. Effects of the doping conditions

A polymer composite of polypyrrole (PPy) and polystyrene (PS) was synthesized in this study. Pyrrole was firstly impregnated within the PS substrate where supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) at 40 °C and 10.5 MPa was used as the solvent. The resulting polymer composite was then soaked in a solution of metallic salt to form an electrically conductive product. Thermal analyses were carried out in this study. Glass transition temperatures from the DSC curves and thermal decomposition temperatures from the TGA curves were observed. These temperatures rise gradually from pure PS, undoped blend to doped composite that indicates blending took place in SCCO₂, and polymerization was proceeding when the pyrrole/PS blend was soaking in the doping solution. Furthermore, various effects of the doping conditions on the conductivity of the PPy/PS composite were investigated. Water and acetonitrile were used as the solvents where the former yielded a higher conductivity of the product. Various doping temperatures were studied and a maximum conductivity was observed at 25 °C. The conductivity also depends on the nature of the oxidant. A bell-shaped profile of the conductivity with respect to the concentration of each oxidant was obtained. The maximum conductivity of the composites with iron compounds as oxidants decreases in the following order of anions: chloride > sulfate > perchloride > nitrate in aqueous solutions. Comparison of the scanning electron microscope results of the composite was presented where chloride and nitrate anions were used as the oxidant. It was found that the composite with higher conductivity has higher bulk density and less porous morphology.     

The Wear Resistance of Composite Materials Based on Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene with Fillers of Various Types

The tribological properties and wear resistance under different action of composite materials based on of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and fillers of various types such as organomodified montmorillonite (MMT), graphite nanoplates (GNP), molybdenum disulfide, and shungite prepared via polymerization in situ are studied. According to the obtained results, the introduction of these fillers to UHMWPE in the amount of 0.4–7 wt % has almost no effect on the value of the coefficient of sliding friction on steel in the mode of dry friction. Composites with GNP, MoS₂, and shungite are characterized by a significant (two- to threefold) increase in the wear resistance in the case of sliding friction on steel. The abrasive wear of composites in the case of friction on an abrasive paper is substantially affected by the type of filler, the use of MMT was the most effective for increasing the wear resistance of composites. In the case of a highspeed impact effect of water–sand suspensions all the studied composites are characterized by increased wear resistance in comparison with industrial UHMWPE at a low concentration of fillers and by an increase in the wear with the increase of the filler content.
