Regulating the Mechanical and Optical Properties of Polymer-based Nanocomposites by Sub-Nanowires

Sub-nanowires (SNWs) exhibit great potential applications in nanocomposites owing to their high specific surface area, high flexibility, and similarity to polymer chains in dimension, which are a good entry point to bridge inorganic materials and polymer materials. Herein, we synthesized hydroxyapatite sub-nanowires (HAP SNWs) and engineered hydroxyapatite sub-nanowires/polyimide (HSP) gels and films by simple mixing of HAP SNWs and polyimide (PI). Benefiting from the interactions between HAP SNWs and PI, these nanocomposites were a continuous hybrid network. As the increase of HAP SNWs contents, the viscosity and modulus of HSP gels were greatly improved by one or two orders of magnitude compared with PI gel. HSP films not only maintained high transparency but also gained high haze, as well as exhibited enhanced Young's modulus. Thus, both HSP gels and films developed in this work are promising for various applications in coatings and high-performance films.     

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Ce-doped ZnO

ZnO nanorods were synthesized using the sol-gel method, and the effects of annealing temperature and Ce doping on the morphologies and optical properties of ZnO nanostructures were investigated in detail. The XRD measurements showed that the as-synthesized ZnO nanostructures had a hexagonal wurtzite structure. SEM images showed that uniform nanorods formed at 900 °C. Photoluminescence measurements showed an ultraviolet emission peak and a relatively broad visible light emission peak for the samples sintered at different temperatures. The UV emission peak bathochromically shifted when the annealing temperature rose from 850 to 1000 °C. Ce doping decreased the synthesized temperature of the ZnO nanorods to 500 °C, and the UV peaks hypsochromically shifted.

Optical and Structural Properties of Doped ZnS Nanoparticles Produced by the Sol-Gel Method

Optical and structural properties of Mn2+-doped ZnS nanoparticles in an organic matrix are experimentally and theoretically studied. The nanoparticles, which were produced by the sol-gel method, are nearly monodisperse with a diameter of approximately 3 nm and show the characteristic orange-red luminescence of Mn2+ centers in a crystalline ZnS matrix. The absorption spectrum of the embedded ZnS nanoparticles is slightly blue shifted and broadened compared to the reference system containing ZnS microparticles. This blue shift is caused by quantum size effects, whereas the broadening is due to defects such as lattice distortions, and vacancies, which are probably located close to the surface in the case of small particles. With increasing temperature the absorption spectra shift to the red and are broadened due to thermal activated diffusion of ions close to the surface. In contrast, the spectral feature of the emission spectra via the Mn2+ center is nearly unchanged compared to the ZnS microparticles. Furthermore, the quantum efficiency is increased and the decay time of the electron-hole pairs is shortened to the nanosecond regime because of the enhanced probability of the electron-hole pairs to see the Mn2+ center. Therefore, the only effect of doping of ZnS nanoparticles with Mn2+ center is the suppression of the relaxation of electron-hole pairs via surface defects generating a highly efficient and fast relaxation of the electron-hole pairs via the Mn2+ center.

Dark Color ZnO Quasi-One-Dimensional Nanostructures Grown by Hydrothermal Method and Modulation of their Optical Properties

Zinc oxide has a large energy gap and thus it has potential application in the field of solar cells by tuning the absorption of sunlight. In order to enhance its absorption of sunlight, dark color zinc oxides have been prepared by traditional hydrothermal method directly using a zinc foil as both source and substrate. We found that we could tune the optical properties of ZnO samples by changing the temperature. In particular, increasing temperature could significantly reduce the reflectivity of solar energy in the visible range. We speculate that the phenomenon is relevant to the sharp cone morphology of the ZnO nanorods grown on the surface of Zn foils, which furthermore enhance refraction and reflection of light in the nanorods. The capacity to improve the light absorption of ZnO may have a bright application in raising the efficiency of solar cells.     

The Optical Properties of ZnO Nanoparticles Capped with Polyvinyl Butyral

ZnO nanoparticles capped with polyvinyl butyral (PVB) have been synthesized by the sol-gel process. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra show a remarkable decrease in visible emission intensity after ZnO nanoparticles are capped with PVB, which indicates that dangling bonds and defect states at the surface of ZnO nanoparticles are markedly passivated. As a result, the process of surface-trapped hole tunneling back into the particles to form V**_O recombination center is blocked. The PL spectra of thin films show a strong ultraviolet (UV) emission with very weak visible emission. The typical intensity ratio of the UV emission at 3.45 eV to the visible emission at about 2.41 eV is 43.3, which shows an obvious improvement in luminescence properties by the surface passivation with PVB. Low-temperature PL spectra of ZnO powder at 93.8 K are dominated by free exciton, bound exciton and the LO-phonon replica of the bound exciton.     

The Structural and Optical Properties of 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-3-amine

The structural and spectroscopic properties of a new triazolopyridine derivative (1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-amine) are described in this paper. Its FTIR spectrum was recorded in the 100–4000 cm⁻¹ range and its FT-Raman spectrum in the range 80–4000 cm⁻¹. The molecular structure and vibrational spectra were analyzed using the B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) approach and the GAUSSIAN 16W program. The assignment of the observed bands to the respective normal modes was proposed on the basis of PED calculations. XRD studies revealed that the studied compound crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/n with eight molecules per unit cell. However, the asymmetric unit contains two 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-amine molecules linked via N–H⋯N hydrogen bonds with a R₂²(8) graph. The stability of the studied molecule was considered using NBO analysis. Electron absorption and the luminescence spectra were measured and discussed in terms of the calculated singlet, triplet, HOMO and LUMO electron energies. The Stokes shifts derived from the optical spectra were equal to 9410 cm⁻¹ for the triazole ring and 7625 cm⁻¹ for the pyridine ring.     

A Study of the Swelling Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites through Electrical and Optical Characterization

In the present study, polymer nanocomposite layers for sensing applications are characterized by means of an optical method based on white light interferometry. The study focuses on poly (hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and on nanocomposite Carbon black (CB)/PHEMA layers commonly used in chemical sensor technology for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection. The interferometric spectra of these two different materials, recorded during analyte exposure, are analyzed in terms of film expansion. Comparison between PHEMA and PHEMA/CB layer shows that the nanocomposite undergoes a more pronounced swelling process. In order to achieve a better comprehension of the sensing mechanism and to improve the sensor performances, the variations of the electrical signal of a nanocomposite-based chemiresistor in presence of VOCs are examined and compared to the optical behaviour.
