Effects of organic-inorganic hybrid coatings on durability of cross-linked polyethylene

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) films have been coated with nanostructured hybrid organic-inorganic coatings in order to improve their durability. For this purpose, bi- and mono-layer coatings containing different amount of silica and different organic polymers have been prepared through sol-gel reactions and applied to XLPE commercial films. The thermo-oxidative stability, electrical strength and conductivity of XLPE coated films have been investigated after ageing in air at temperatures above the on-service conditions, i.e. at 105 and 120 °C for 1900 and 600 h, respectively. The performed investigations (FT-IR, DSC, TGA and electrical properties) showed that all the coatings tested were able to strongly protect XLPE against oxidation, and that the coating with a PVOH/SiO₂ layer gave the best protection. The increase of thermal resistance induced by the coatings reflects on the electrical strength after ageing, which is higher for coated samples than for uncoated ones. Moreover, while ageing has only a slight effect on electrical conductivity in different coated samples, a strong increase of conductivity was observed after ageing for highly oxidated uncoated samples.     

Preparation and antibacterial activity of hybrid materials containing quaternary ammonium salts via sol-gel process

Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings containing quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) bonded to the organic-inorganic network were prepared from tetraethoxysilane and triethoxysilane terminated poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene) using a sol-gel process. They were applied as a thin layer (0.6-1 μm) to PE films and the antibacterial activity of the coated films was tested against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538) bacteria. Measurements at different contact times showed a rapid decrease of the viable count for both the tested strains. In particular, after 48 h of contact, a decrease of 96.4% and 99.1% of E. coli and S. aureus, respectively, was observed. The permanence of the antibacterial activity of the coated films was demonstrated through repeated washings and prolonged immersion in physiological saline solutions at 37 °C. Indeed, due to the removal of QAS moieties by the nucleophilic attack of water, the antibacterial activity after 24 h was strongly reduced when measured on samples submitted to several washings. However, a quite good antibacterial activity was observed even on the same samples after 96 h, probably due to a spontaneous partial restoring of the QAS on the surface. Very good transparency, quite good adhesion and high wettability are further features of these hybrid coatings.

The reactivity of the [Mo₇O₂₄]⁶⁻ anion towards the structure directing-reagent piperazine (pipz) has been investigated and new synthetic routes to achieve the known (H₂pipz)₃[Mo₈O₂₇] 1, (H₂pipz)[Mo₃O₁₀]·H₂O 2, and (H₂pipz)[Mo₅O₁₆] 3 molybdenum(VI) containing compounds are proposed.

Their optical properties are reported and commented.     

Immobilization of copper in organic-inorganic hybrid materials: a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for the Ullmann diaryl etherification

The immobilization of copper in organic-inorganic hybrid materials catalyzing the Ullmann reaction has been described. Phenols reacted with aryl iodides, aryl bromides and aryl chlorides smoothly in the presence of a 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl functionalized silica gel immobilized copper catalyst. The protocol involved the use of DMSO as the solvent, and potassium fluoride as the base. The reactions generated the corresponding cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the silica-supported copper could be recovered and recycled by a simple filtration of the reaction solution and used for 10 consecutive trials without loss of its reactivity.     

Effects of coating composition and surface pre-treatment on the adhesion of organic-inorganic hybrid coatings to low density polyethylene (LDPE) films

Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings, obtained through the sol-gel chemistry from tetraethoxysilane and polyethylene-poly(ethylene glycol) block copolymer, have been prepared in different compositions and applied to untreated and plasma treated LDPE films by spin coating. The mechanical properties of the coatings and the adhesion between coating and substrate have been characterized by fragmentation test. An increase in coating strength, elongation at break and adhesion has been observed with increasing the organic fraction in the hybrid coating. A plasma treatment of the LDPE surface, just before the application of the coating, lead to an increase of the adhesion between coating and substrate (interfacial shear strength), leaving almost unaffected coating strength and strain at fragmentation onset.     

Oxygen permeability of novel organic-inorganic coatings: I. Effects of organic-inorganic ratio and molecular weight of the organic component

The oxygen barrier properties of composite materials, consisting of a 45 μm thick LDPE substrate coated by a thin layer (0.7-1 μm) of new hybrid organic-inorganic materials based on SiO₂ and PE-PEG block copolymers, have been characterized at 35 and 50 °C. A significant decrease (25-40%) of the oxygen transfer rate has been observed for coated samples with respect to bare substrate both at 35 and 50 °C. The effects on the coating permeability of organic-inorganic ratio, molecular weight of the PE-PEG block copolymers and temperature are discussed.

In this work, a new orthorhombic organic-inorganic hybrid single crystal (C₂H₁₀N₂)₂MnBr₄.2Br with-Zero-dimensional structure was synthesized by slow evaporation method at 75 °C. The crystal structure and intermolecular interactions were performed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface. Optical properties of (C₂H₁₀N₂)₂MnBr₄.2Br were systematically studied by Raman, infrared spectrum, UV–vis, photoexcitation spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. The optical band gap (E_g = 2.61 eV) were calculated from the absorption spectra of (C₂H₁₀N₂)₂MnBr₄.2Br. This hybrid materials also had shown good thermal stability (decomposition temperature: 288–660 °C). Finally, photoluminescence measurements showed a strong excitation line at 362 nm and a strong fluorescence at 537 nm which makes it a promising material in luminescence field.     

Inorganic-organic hybrid polyoxometalate: Preparation, characterization and electrochemistry properties

The solid hybrid material (H_3/4pbpy)₄[PMo₁₂O₄₀]·1.25H₂O (1) (pbpy=5-phenyl-2-(4-pyridinyl)pyridine) has been prepared and characterized. A structural feature of compound 1 is that the polyoxometalate anions exhibit a one-dimensional inorganic double chain-like structure via weak interactions of O…O. The organic moiety exhibits regular packing with offset aromatic-aromatic interactions between the pbpys, leading to a compact supramolecular framework structure to accommodate the inorganic chains. Compound 1 was employed to fabricate the three-dimensional bulk-modified carbon paste electrode (1-CPE) to research on its electrochemistry properties. The results indicate that 1 retained Keggin molybdate anion electrocatalytic activities toward the reduction of chlorate, hydrogen peroxide and nitrite.     

Preparation of fluorine containing hybrid coatings: investigation of coating performance onto ABS and PMMA substrates

UV‐curable fluorinated organic–inorganic hybrid coatings were prepared by the sol–gel technique. Perfluorinated urethane modified alkoxysilane was synthesized by the reaction between perfluoro alcohol and 3‐isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane. The prepared formulations were applied onto poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) panels and polymerized by UV‐curing. The properties of the hybrid coatings such as hardness, chemical resistance, thermal stability, surface morphology, double bond conversion, and also contact angle measurements were investigated. Contact angle measurements have shown that the addition of fluorinated silane precursor to the hybrid system improved the water repellency and increased the contact angle from 65° to 106°.

Synthesis of silanized polyether urethane hybrid systems. Study of the curing process through hydrogen bonding interactions

Different types of silanized polyurethanes (SPUR) were prepared in two ways: the first type (a), by reacting a polyether diol with an isocyanatesilane and the second type (b) by reacting it with diisocyanate (IPDI) and afterwards with aminosilane. These systems are able to cure with atmospheric moisture and, as a consequence, a tridimensional hybrid structure is formed where the inorganic and organic phases are bonded with covalent bonds. The evolution of the curing process in both systems has been monitored by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, through the changes observed in the carbonyl stretching vibration region. The results obtained show that the SPURs of kind (b) present stronger hydrogen bonding interactions as a consequence of urea groups present in the final structure. Moreover, given the proximity of both urethane and urea groups to alkoxysilane end groups, during the alkoxysilane curing process these groups are forced to approximate themselves even further and therefore the reticulation process leads to an increase of the self association of urethane and urea groups.Finally, DSC has been used to measure T_g values of the systems studied before and after the curing process. The obtained results have confirmed the main conclusions obtained in FTIR analysis.

Preparation and characterization of a new organic-inorganic nano-composite poly-o-toluidine Th(IV) phosphate: Its analytical applications as cation-exchanger and in making ion-selective electrode

An organic-inorganic hybrid poly-o-toluidine Th(IV) phosphate was chemically synthesized by mixing ortho-tolidine into the gel of Th(IV) phosphate in different mixing volume ratios, concentration of inorganic reactant with a fixed mixing volume ratios of organic polymer. The physico-chemical characterization was carried out by elemental analysis, TEM, SEM, XRD, FTIR and simultaneous TGA-DTA studies. The ion-exchange capacity, chemical stability, effect of eluant concentration, elution behavior and pH titration studies were also carried out to understand the ion-exchange capabilities. The distribution studies revealed that the cation-exchange material is highly selective for Hg²⁺, which is an important environmental pollutant. Due to selective nature of the cation-exchanger ion-selective membrane electrode was fabricated for the determination of Hg(II) ions in solutions. The analytical utility of this electrode was established by employing it as an indicator electrode in electrometric titrations.
