Electrical Properties of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polystyrene Composites

Composites of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in polymeric matrices have attracted considerable attention in the research communities due to their good electrical conductivity, high stiffness and high strength at relatively low CNT contents. Effective utilization of CNT in composites depends primarily on the ability to disperse them homogeneously throughout the polymer matrix, avoiding the formation of bundles due to van der Waals interactions existing between the nanotubes. In this work composites of polystyrene at various percentages of SWNT were fabricated using Latex Technology technique, a polymer type-independent method based on using a surfactant as a dispersing agent. An electrical characterization of SWNT composites was performed both in DC and AC modes. From the analysis of DC data a percolative behavior was found for the conductivity as function of SWNT content. The innovative contribution of this work consists in the modeling of the composite material upon its electrical properties. AC measurements and the analysis of impedance as function of angular frequency lead to the formulation of an equivalent circuit able to model the composite material in correspondence of the percolative threshold.     

Postsynthetic-Modified PANI/MOF Composites with Tunable Thermoelectric and Photoelectric Properties

A 3D Co-based metal–organic framework ( Co-MOF ) with two kinds of large pores filled by free Co²⁺ ions and ligands was synthesized and characterized. To expand the MOF structure and conductivity, the free Co²⁺ ions and ligands were exchanged by conductive ionic liquid EtpyBr and photosensitive AgNO₃ through single crystal-to-single crystal transformation, which produced structure-changed 3D MOFs Co-MOF-Br and Co-Ag-MOF , which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Incorporating small quantities of doped polyaniline (PANI) with redox activity into the pores could further tune the stability and conductivity of the three MOFs. The PANI/MOFs all show outstanding electrical conductivity (≈10⁻² S cm⁻¹), and PANI/ Co-MOF-Br has the largest p-type Seebeck coefficient of 66.6 μV K⁻¹. PANI/ Co-MOF-Br and PANI/ Co-Ag-MOF have 4 and 15 times higher photocurrent density compared with PANI/ Co-MOF , respectively. This work sheds light on the design of advanced electrically conductive 3D MOFs.     

PMMA/定向碳纳米管复合材料导电与导热性能的研究

Methyl Methacrylate(MMA) has been filled in the apertures of aligned carbon nanotubes(ACNTs). Then PMMA/ACNTs composites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The SEM results show that carbon nanotubes are well dispersed and directionally arranged in the composites. The electrical conductivities of the parallel direction (parallel with ACNTs) and perpendicular direction (perpendicular with ACNTs) of composites were respectively tested to be 15 S·cm^-1 and 4 S·cm^-1, so the composites were conductivity anisotropic. Compared with PMMA, the thermal stable temperature of composites in air was improved by 100 ℃,and the thermal conductivity of composites was 13.64 times of PMMA.     

Effect of Carbon Dots Concentration on Electrical and Optical Properties of Their Composites with a Conducting Polymer

CQD/PEDOT:PSS composites were prepared via the hydrothermal method from glucose carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and an aqueous solution of PEDOT:PSS conducting polymer and their electrical and optical properties were investigated. The morphology and structure of these samples were investigated by AFM, SEM, EDX, and EBSD. It was found that the CQDs and CQD/PEDOT:PSS composites had a globular structure with globule sizes of ~50–300 nm depending on the concentration of PEDOT:PSS in these composites. The temperature dependence of the resistivity was obtained for the CQD/PEDOT:PSS (3%, 5%, 50%) composites, which had a weak activation character. The charge transport mechanism was discussed. The dependence of the resistivity on the storage time of the CQD/PEDOT:PSS (3%, 5%, 50%) composites and pure PEDOT:PSS was obtained. It was noted that mixing CQDs with PEDOT:PSS allowed us to obtain better electrical and optical properties than pure CQDs. CQD/PEDOT:PSS (3%, 5%, 50%) composites are more conductive composites than pure CQDs, and the absorbance spectra of CQD/PEDOT:PSS composites are a synergistic effect of interaction between CQDs and PEDOT:PSS. We also note the better stability of the CQD/PEDOT:PSS (50%) composite than the pure PEDOT:PSS film. CQD/PEDOT:PSS (50%) composite is promising for use as stable hole transport layers in devices of flexible organic electronics.

Physical and Electrical Properties of Chlorophyllin/Carboxymethyl Chitin and Chlorophyllin/Carboxymethyl Chitosan Blend Films

Blend films consisting of chlorophyllin dispersed in carboxymethyl chitin (CM-chitin) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CM-chitosan) were prepared by solution casting and characterized for their physical and electrical properties. Homogeneous films were obtained having chlorophyllin content up to 50 wt% in the CM-chitin matrix and 30 wt% in the CM-chitosan matrix. Agglomeration of chlorophyllin particles in the chlorophyllin/CM-chitosan blend was observed, when chlorophyllin content reached 50 wt%. The electrical conductivity of CM-chitosan was higher than that of CM-chitin by approximately 2 orders of magnitude due to the higher content of amino polar groups. The electrical conductivity increased with increasing chlorophyllin content. The addition of metal ion salts improved the electrical conductivity of the blend films.

炭黑表面含氧量对HDPE—CB复合物导电性能的影响

通过硝酸氧化处理炭黑（CB）,使其表面含氧量（氧元素与碳元素的摩尔百分比）由1．0％（CB1）提高到7．0％（CB2）。分别以CB1和CB2为填料,以高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）为基体,制备了两种导电复合材料。与碳粒子填充极性聚合物相反,表面含氧量高的CB2填充HDPE复合物的渗流阈值低。采用SEM、动态电渗流效应和Payne效应分析了两种炭黑在HDPE中的分散和凝聚特征。结果表明：CB2在HDPE中分散更不均匀,更容易凝聚形成网络。炭黑在非极性HDPE中凝聚形成导电网络的能力随炭黑表面含氧量的增加而提高。

Temperature Dependence of the Electrical Properties of Na2Ti3O7/Na2Ti6O13/POMA Composites

The temperature dependence of the electrical properties of composites formed by biphasic sodium titanate and poly(o-methoxyaniline) (Na₂Ti₃O₇/Na₂Ti₆O₁₃/POMA) with different concentrations of POMA (0%, 1%, 10%, 15%, 35% and 50%) in the ceramic matrix was determined from measurements of complex impedance. The structural details were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, confirming the formation of the Na₂Ti₃O₇/Na₂Ti₆O₁₃/POMA composites. The displacement of the (200) reflection from 2θ = 10.45° to 11.15° in the composites with 10 and 15% of POMA suggested the partial replacement of H⁺ for Na⁺ in the Na₂Ti₃O₇ structure. The thermal properties were investigated by Thermogravimetry and Differential Thermal Analysis. The Thermogravimetry curves of the composites with POMA content of 1, 10 and 15% presented profiles similar to that of pure sodium titanate sample. The composites with 35 and 50% of POMA showed a process at temperatures around 60–70 °C, which was associated with water absorbed by the polymer. The analysis of the complex impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed that the electrical resistivity of the composites in the range from 0 to 35% increased by two orders of magnitude, with different values for each concentration. This positive temperature coefficient of resistivity was less noticeable in the composite with highest POMA mass content (50%). The rapid increase in resistivity caused an increase in the relaxation time calculated from the time domain. The electrical response of the 50% of POMA compound changes in relation to what was observed in the other compounds, which suggests that there is a saturation limit in the increase in resistivity with POMA content.

Electroactive Composite of FeCl3‐Doped P3HT/PLGA with Adjustable Electrical Conductivity for Potential Application in Neural Tissue Engineering

Conducting polymers (CPs) is one of intelligent biomaterials with the specific properties of reversible redox states, which have a significant effects on the cell behaviors and nerve tissue regeneration. However, the effects of CPs with different electrical conductivity on the behaviors of nerve cells are rarely reported. Therefore, a kind of Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) with certain molecular weight is synthesized by Kumada catalyst transfer polymerization (KCTP) method and employed to prepare bioabsorbable and electroactive intelligent composites of Poly(3‐hexylthiophene)/Poly(glycolide‐lactide) (P3HT/PLGA). FeCl₃ doping electroactive membranes with different electrical conductivities are prepared to investigate the cell behaviors. On the substrate with higher electrical conductivity, the proliferation of rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells) is significantly promoted and neurite length is increased obviously. In particular, the most significant improvements are the neuron gene expression of Synapsin 1 and microtubule‐associated protein 2 (MAP2) by the composites with high conductivity. These results suggest that P3HT/PLGA with suitable electrical conductivity have a positive role in promoting neural growth and differentiation, which is promising for advancing potential application of nerve repair and regeneration.

Synthesis,Characterization and Electrorheological Properties of Polyindene/Kaolinite Composites

In this study, synthesis, characterization and electrorheological (ER) properties of polyindene (PIN) and polyindene/kaolinite composites were carried out by cationic radical polymerization using FeCl₃ as the oxidizing agent. The homopolymer and composites, containing different amounts of PIN were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, thermo‐gravimetric (TGA) analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. The conductivity and dielectric properties of PIN and PIN/kaolinite composites were determined. Suspensions of PIN and PIN/kaolinite composites were prepared in silicone oil (SO), at a series of concentrations (c=5–25 m/m %). The effects of concentration, shear rate, electric field strength, frequency, temperature and promoter on ER activities of suspensions were investigated.
