Protonic conducting organic/inorganic nanocomposites for polymer electrolyte membrane

Protonic conducting membrane can be used in many energy technological applications such as fuel cells, water electrolysis, hydrogen separation, sensors and other electrochemical devices. However, polymer electrolyte membrane usually lack thermal stability, resulting in narrow operational temperature windows. So, a new class of polymer membrane with high temperature stability and protonic conductivity is desired for many industrial applications. In this paper, new synthetic routes have been investigated for organic/inorganic nanocomposites hybrid polymer membranes of SiO₂/polymer (polyethylene oxides (PEO); polypropylene oxide (PPO); polytetramethylene oxide (PTMO)). Novel protonic conducting properties have also been investigated. The materials have been synthesized through sol–gel processes in flexible, ductile free-standing thin membrane form. The hybrid membrane has been found to be thermally stable up to 250°C and possess protonic conductivities of approximately 10⁻⁴ S/cm at temperature windows from room temperature to 160°C and relative humidity.     

Polymers with Metal-Like Conductivity—A Review of their Synthesis,Structure and Properties

Polymers such as polyacetylene, which have an extended π-electron system in their backbone, or like poly(p-phenylene) consist of a sequence of aromatic rings are excellent insulators in their native state and can be transformed by oxidation or reduction in the solid state into conductive CT-complexes which exhibit metal-like conduction characteristics. The chemical and physical processes involved and the reasons for the observed quasimetallic conductivity are not yet fully understood. The real structure of these materials in chemical and physical terms, i. e. their complicated morphology and texture, as well as the results available on the structure-property relationships of the “organic metals” must be considered when discussing their properties. In other words, a discussion of conductive polymers should be based on what is known of the highly conducting CT-complexes of low-molecular weight compounds. The discovery of the highly conducting polymer complexes has opened up a new interdisciplinary field of research which borders on polymer science, solid-state and semiconductor physics and on organic solid-state chemistry. It is hoped that this area will lead to numerous novel materials and technical applications.

Toward transparent molecular wires: electron and energy transfer in transition metal derivatized conducting polymers

A great deal of research has concentrated on long range electron and energy transport in transition metal-based systems, including molecular donor-acceptor assemblies, electron and energy transfer cascades, dendrimers, and derivatized polymer systems. In an effort to improve efficiencies for electron and energy transport over large distances, several groups have now turned to conjugated systems. Several challenges exist to incorporating conducting materials/polymers in the study of photoinduced electron and energy transfer: solubility and processibility of the materials, thermal stability and limitations on direct spectroscopic characterization due to band gap absorptions. We have prepared a new series of conducting materials that provides for direct incorporation of chromophores and electrophores within the backbone of a conducting polymer. Energy transfer dynamics between conducting polymer bridges and porphyrin or metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) chromophores can be controlled through intermolecular interactions in solid vs solution samples. We have also developed a methodology to incorporate transmissive benzothiophene-type polymers such as polyisothianaphthene (PITN) within a copolymer assembly. These new materials are now being used to investigate long range electronic coupling and have potential applications that range from artificial photosynthesis to light emitting diodes.

Recent strategies to enhance the performance of polymer monoliths for analytical separations

This review summarizes recent developments made in the incorporation of functional materials into organic polymer monoliths, together with new monolithic forms and formats, which enhance their application as supports and stationary phase materials for sample preparation and chromatographic separations. While polymer monoliths are well‐known supports for the separation of large molecules, recent developments have been made to improve their features for the separation of small molecules. The selectivity and performance of organic polymer monoliths has been improved by the incorporation of different materials, such as metal‐organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, or other types of nanostructured materials (carbon nanohorns, nanodiamonds, polyoxometalates, layered double hydroxides, or attapulgite). The surface area of polymer monoliths has been significantly increased by polymer hypercrosslinking, resulting in increased efficiency when applied to the separation of small molecules. In addition, recent exploration of less conventional supports for casting polymer monoliths, including photonic fibres and 3D printed materials, has opened new avenues for the applications of polymer monoliths in the field of separation science. Recent developments made in these topics are covered, focusing on the strategies followed by the authors to prepare the polymer monoliths and the effect of these modifications on the developed analytical applications.

Pigment encapsulation by emulsion polymerization using macro-RAFT copolymers

A new method is described, based on living amphipathic random macro-RAFT copolymers, which enables the efficient polymeric encapsulation of both inorganic and organic particulate materials via free-radical polymerization. The mechanism for this new approach is examined in the context of the polymer coating of zirconia- and alumina-coated titanium dioxide particles and its breadth of application demonstrated by the coating of organic phthalocyanine blue pigment particles. The particulate materials were first dispersed in water using a macro-RAFT copolymer as a stabilizer. Monomer and water-soluble initiator were then added to the system, and the monomer polymerized to form the coating. If nucleation of new polymer particles in the aqueous phase was to be avoided, it was found necessary to use a macro-RAFT copolymer that did not form micelles; within this constraint, a broad range of RAFT agents could be used. The macro-RAFT agents used in this work were found not to transfer competitively in the aqueous phase and therefore did not support growth of aqueous-phase polymer. Successful encapsulation of particles was demonstrated by TEM. The process described enables 100% of the particles to be encapsulated with greater than 95% of the polymer finishing up in the polymeric shells around the particles. Moreover, the coating reaction can be carried out at greater than 50% solids in many cases and avoids the agglomeration of particles during the coating step.

Two‐in‐One: Inherent Anhydrous and Water‐Assisted High Proton Conduction in a 3D Metal–Organic Framework

The development of solid‐state proton‐conducting materials with high conductivity that operate under both anhydrous and humidified conditions is currently of great interest in fuel‐cell technology. A 3D metal–organic framework (MOF) with acid–base pairs in its coordination space that efficiently conducts protons under both anhydrous and humid conditions has now been developed. The anhydrous proton conductivity for this MOF is among the highest values that have been reported for MOF materials, whereas its water‐assisted proton conductivity is comparable to that of the organic polymer Nafion, which is currently used for practical applications. Unlike other MOFs, which conduct protons either under anhydrous or humid conditions, this compound should represent a considerable advance in the development of efficient solid‐state proton‐conducting materials that work under both anhydrous and humid conditions.     

The increasing importance of carbon nanotubes and nanostructured conducting polymers in biosensors

The growing need for analytical devices requiring smaller sample volumes, decreased power consumption and improved performance have been driving forces behind the rapid growth in nanomaterials research. Due to their dimensions, nanostructured materials display unique properties not traditionally observed in bulk materials. Characteristics such as increased surface area along with enhanced electrical/optical properties make them suitable for numerous applications such as nanoelectronics, photovoltaics and chemical/biological sensing. In this review we examine the potential that exists to use nanostructured materials for biosensor devices. By incorporating nanomaterials, it is possible to achieve enhanced sensitivity, improved response time and smaller size. Here we report some of the success that has been achieved in this area. Many nanoparticle and nanofibre geometries are particularly relevant, but in this paper we specifically focus on organic nanostructures, reviewing conducting polymer nanostructures and carbon nanotubes.

Synthesis of Novel Semiconducting Aromatic Polyesteramids Containing Pyridine: Characterization of Nanometer-Sized Rod-Like Analogues and their Copper (II) Complexes

In this paper, new thermally stable isomeric unsubstituted polyesteramides have been successfully prepared by condensation of aromatic acids chlorides namely; isophthaloyl, pyridine-3,5-dicarbonyl and pyridine-2,6-pyridine-dicarbonyl dichlorides with the aminophenol isomers in NMP. Conducting the reaction in NMP/H₂O (90/10 v/v) followed by centrifugal separation furnished the desired polymers as rod-like nanoparticles. The morphology of obtained nanoparticles were studied by SEM. Mixing NMP with H₂O was essential for controlling the particles morphology and as a reaction accelerator.

Pyridine-containing polymers exhibit semi-conducting nature as their conductivities increase with increasing temperature, while no variation of the conductivity with the temperature was observed for their corresponding phenylene analogues. Introduction of the nitro group into the polymer backbone led to a red shift in the absorption and the obtained polymers have a bright yellow color, which is unusual with this polymer group. Copper (II) ions were complexed the polyesteramides-containing nitro group in a (1:1) ratio. Complexes of pyridine-containing polymers exhibit semiconducting nature changed to metallic characters on heating and their conductivities increased tens of magnitudes than their corresponding ligands. These new types of polymeric materials and their nano-sized rods may have numerous applications in nanotechnology and their properties can be tuned for specific applications such as conducting adhesives and coating materials.     

Conducting polymer hydrogels

Conducting polymer hydrogels are gels, which are swollen with water, and contain a conducting polymer along with a supporting polymer as constituents. Polyaniline, polypyrrole or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) represent the conducting moiety, while water-soluble polymers the other part. Various ways of hydrogel preparation are reviewed. The properties, such as mixed electronic and ionic conductivity, redox activity, and responsivity, are conveniently combined with materials properties afforded by supporting polymers, such as elasticity, mechanical integrity, and biocompatibility. The derived materials, aerogels obtained after freeze-drying of hydrogels, or carbogels produced after carbonization of aerogels, are also considered. The applications are expected especially in biomedicine and energy-storage devices but many other uses proposed in the literature are listed and discussed.     

Polymer/carrier composites as materials and reactors for organic synthesis

In this work new polymer/carrier composites are described which serve as novel materials in flow-through reactors for polymer-supported organic solution-phase synthesis. Monolithic polymer/carrier columns are prepared by a new precipitation polymerization process inside the void pore volume of megaporous glass carrier materials. Chemical functionalization of the internal polymer phase with chlorosulfonic acid or trimethylamine generates small, interconnected ion-exchange resin beads with a diameter of 1-3 microm which can be used for a large variety of organic syntheses. These monolithic rods are incorporated into an appropriate casing and can conveniently be operated in the flow-through mode. Important successful applications are polymer-assisted solution-phase reductions, oxidations and Horner-Emmons olefinations. Additionally, the use of these monolithic columns as catalytic microreactors and their performance in selected reactions are described.
