Nanostructures of compound 1 have been synthesized by sonochemical method. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and IR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of nano particles of compound 1 was studied by thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analyses.     

Electron mobility in poly(3-hexylthiophene) enhanced by gamma-ray irradiation

Gamma-ray irradiation effects on the photoresponsive thin-film devices based on the regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT) conjugated polymer have been studied by means of atomic force microscopy, UV–vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and time-of-flight measurements. As a result, increased light absorption in the red region and PL quenching induced by the irradiation were observed. Besides, enhancement of the electron/hole mobilities, attributable to improved ordering or increased nanodomain size of the P3HT thin films, was revealed.

A multifrequency EPR study of poly(PADPA) synthesized with Trametes versicolor laccase from the aniline dimer p-aminodiphenylamine (PADPA) in the presence of anionic vesicles

Poly(PADPA) synthesized with the enzyme Trametes versicolor laccase (TvL) at pH = 3.5 in aqueous solution from the aniline dimer p-aminodiphenylamine (PADPA) was studied by EPR spectrometry at X-band and W-band frequencies. For the synthesis of poly(PADPA), vesicles formed from AOT (sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate) were used as structure-directing templates, and TvL/O₂ as catalyst and oxidant. The isolated product is abbreviated as “poly(PADPA)-TvL-AOT” to distinguish it from poly(PADPA) obtained by other means. The EPR spectrum of poly(PADPA)-TvL-AOT recorded at room temperature is complex. It can be decomposed into two separate Dyson–type spectral components. Furthermore, the spectra measured at high frequency exhibit a line broadening behavior in comparison to the spectra recorded at low frequency where there is no line broadening. This behavior was used to estimate the effective inter-chain spin exchange interaction for each monitored spectral component. The obtained effective distances between the polymer (or oligomer) chains in both identified components of poly(PADPA)-TvL-AOT can be explained by considering slightly different interactions between the chains and the AOT molecules present in the sample. Additionally, due to different average g tensor values, g_av, of these components, it seems that each spectral component originates from one of two different molecular subunits (or local structural motifs) within the polymer (or oligomer) chains.     

D-π-A型共轭聚合物的合成及其光伏性能

设计合成了3种主链相同、侧基不同的Donor(D)-π-Acceptor(A)型共轭聚合物:聚[(4,8-二辛氧基苯[1,2-b;3,4-b]二噻吩)-(9-(4-氰基苯基)-9H-咔唑)](PBDTCz-CN)、聚[(4,8-二辛氧基苯[1,2-b;3,4-b′]二噻吩)-(9-(4-醛基苯基)-9H-咔唑)](PBDTCz-CHO)和聚[(4,8-二辛氧基苯[1,2-b;3,4-b]二噻吩)-(9-(4-硝基苯基)-9H-咔唑)](PBDTCz-NO_2)。通过调变侧基上的受体基团,比较了氰基、醛基、硝基对聚合物光学和电学性能的影响,讨论了影响聚合物光电转换效率的主要因素。3种聚合物的光学带隙和线性吸收系数依次分别为2.32 eV,152.0 L/(g·cm);2.43 eV,58.5 L/(g·cm)和2.25 eV,85.5 L/(g·cm)。在这些聚合物中,彼此间的最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)能级差距很小,PBDTCz-NO_2的最低未占据分子轨道(LUMO)能级最低(-3.38eV)。在100 W/m~2模拟太阳光的照射下,基于这些聚合物的光伏器件(器件结构:ITO/PEDOT:PSS/Polymer:[70]PCBM(1:2)/Ca/A1)的光电转换效率分别为0.44%(PBDTCz-CN)、0.001 8%(PBDTCz-CHO)和0.23%(PBDTCz-NO_2)。低的光电转换效率主要归因于低的短路电流,而影响短路电流的主要原因有自身吸光性能的限制和弱的π-π堆砌作用。     

Electrical Properties of Carboxyl Methylcellulose/Chitosan Dual-Blend Green Polymer Doped with Ammonium Bromide

This present work discusses dual-blend green polymer electrolyte (GPE)–based natural polymers, composed of carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CS), created by introducing various compositions of ammonium bromide (NH₄Br) as a dopant in the system. These GPEs were successfully prepared by the solution casting technique and characterized using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From EIS measurement, the highest room-temperature conductivity is 1.21 × 10^?5 Scm^?1 for the sample containing 20 wt.% of NH₄Br. Plot of the temperature dependence of the GPEs revealed that the system obeys the Arrhenius rule and was thermally assisted. Besides that, dielectric studies were also conducted and the data were analyzed using complex permittivity, ?^*, and complex electrical modulus, M*, to determine the sample with the highest conductivity value. Thus, this study confirmed non-Debye behavior in the sample.     

Synthesis of a New Liquid Crystalline Polymer as a Highly Active β-Nucleator and Its Effect on Melting and Crystallization Behaviors of Isotactic Polypropylene

A new nematic liquid crystalline polymer as a highly active β-nucleator (LCP-N) of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was synthesized and characterized. The effect of LCP-N on thermal behavior of the iPP was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. LCP-N showed a melting transition at 85.0°C and a nematic to isotropic phase transition at 278.0°C. The incorporation of LCP-N could lead to substantial changes in the thermal behavior of the iPP. The nucleating activity of LCP-N mainly depended on its content, mesogenic molecular structure, and thermal history of processing. A high content of β-form could be obtained by the combined effect of the optimum LCP-N concentration and crystallization temperature and time. The Φ_β reached 77% when the LCP-N content, crystallization temperature, and crystallization time were 0.4 wt.%, 125°C, and 1 h, respectively.     

Polymeric Membranes Containing Phosphorus in the Chain for Solid Polymer Electrolytes

Abstract

Two new series of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based on phosphorus containing (co)polyesters (PPE) and Lithium triflate were obtained. PPEs are composed of phosphonate moeties (cyclohexyldichlorophosphonate (CHDP)) as linking agent and two diols: PEG (6000) and poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG) in PPE I, and PEG (6000) and 4,4′-cyclohexylidenebisphenol (bisphenol Z, BZ) in PPE II. Polycondensation was carried out in solution in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) as scavenger of HCl side product (PPE I–IIa) and in the absence of any acid acceptor (PPE I–IIb). The Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and thermal analysis were performed both on polymers and membranes. The ionic conductivity of SPE membranes based on PPE-salt complexes, with various salt concentrations, was investigated at different temperature and ionic transference numbers were determined. Optimum composition was obtained for the polymer which contains in structure only alkyl units and 15% Lithium triflate.     

Design and synthesis of pyromellitic diimide‐based donor–acceptor conjugated polymers for photovoltaic application

Three of conjugated polymers based on pyromellitic diimide (PMDI) as the acceptor unit and thienothiophene (TT) as the donor unit were successfully synthesized by Stille coupling. The effect of the side chain length and thiophene π‐bridge on the polymers' optical and electrochemical properties was investigated. Electrochemical characterization indicated that these polymers have deep highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels between ?5.7 and ?5.8 eV. Polymer solar cells were fabricated by using these PMDI‐based polymers as the donor and [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester as the acceptor. The polymer P1 whose PMDI unit was functionalized with 2‐ethylhexyl side chain shows the higher short‐circuit current (J_sc) and fill factor (FF) compared with that of P2 with a 2‐octyldodecyl side chain on the PMDI unit. The results also illustrate that the insertion of a thiophene π‐bridge between PMDI and TT (the polymer P3) leads to the broader absorption and better photovoltaic performance. The best performance was obtained from the cell based on the polymer P3 with a power conversion efficiency of 0.43% under the illumination of AM 1.5 G, 100 mW/cm².
