The heterogeneous assembly of colloidal polymer particles on the nano‐ and microstructures of a metal is a versatile platform for adjusting the mechanical and electrical properties simultaneously. The assemblies of silver (Ag) microrods and flower‐like zinc oxide (ZnO) microparticles with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanospheres are presented to prepare advanced composite materials. PMMA nanoparticles are prepared via the emulsion polymerization technique using a microfluidic preparation step in the presence of cationic surfactant. The surface charge of PMMA particles determines the binding interaction strength with inorganic constituents. Ag microrods and ZnO microparticles are prepared in a batch and in a continuous flow process, respectively. The assembling process can be explained by a particle–particle binding process due to the electrostatic interaction for both types of nanoassemblies. The observed binding pattern reveals certain lateral mobility of the small polymer particles at the surface of larger metal particle. The particle ratios in the nanoassemblies can be tuned over a wide range by changing the reaction parameters.  相似文献

A series of poly(vinyl alcohol)/nano-ZnO composites were prepared by dispersing nano-ZnO in aqueous solutions containing mixtures of the biodegradable polymers poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and composite thin films were prepared by casting. The introduction of nano-ZnO into PVA/PEO mixed solutions significantly decreased the resistivity of the solutions. Ultraviolet absorption, thermal behaviour and visco-elastic properties of the thin films were determined as a function of nano-ZnO content up to 15 wt%. Optimum film properties were obtained with 1 wt% nano-ZnO, higher proportions of nano-ZnO resulting in agglomeration of ZnO particles and deterioration in film properties. The Forouhi and Bloomer model was used for the modelling of ZnO thin films.  相似文献

In this article, a bio-inspired silk-mediated method was established to produce natural material-modified photoluminescent zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZnO). Silk fibroin fibers were employed as the reactive substrates to synthesize nano-ZnO, and silk fibroins (SF) were taken as the biocompatible stabilizers to modify dispersed nano-ZnO. As-prepared nano-ZnO were mainly hexagonal phase particles with diameter around 13 nm. The resulting nano-ZnO/SF hybrids displayed orange emission and good biocompatibility in aqueous system.  相似文献

In this paper, a new approach for in situ preparing nanocomposites of conjugated polymers (CPs) and semiconductor nanocrystals was developed. Polythiophene grafted poly(zinc methacrylate) (PTh-g-PZMA) copolymer was synthesized by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of zinc methacrylate (ZMA) initiated from the macroinitiator poly(2,5-(3-(bromoisopropyl-carbonyl-oxymethylene) thiophene)) (PTh-Br) with pendant initiator groups. Subsequently, the polythiophene grafted poly(methacrylate)/ZnO (PTh-g-PMA/ZnO) hybrid heterojunction nanocomposites were successfully prepared by in situ hydrolysis of PTh-g-PZMA casting films in alkaline aqueous solution. The structures of PTh-Br, PTh-g-PZMA and PTh-g-PMA/ZnO were confirmed by the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The morphologies of PTh-g-PMA/ZnO films prepared for different hydrolysis time were observed in the cross-sections by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM images revealed that ZnO nanocrystals were uniformly dispersed in polymers without any aggregation and the appearances of ZnO nanocrystals changed from nanoparticles to nanorods with the hydrolysis treatment time increasing. The optical properties of these nanocomposites were studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy showed that the adsorption band of PTh-g-PMA/ZnO hybrids was broader than that of PTh-Br, implying that the existence of ZnO nanocrystals increased the optical absorption region of hybrids. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the hybrids showed that fluorescence quenching occurred in PTh-g-PMA/ZnO blends and a maximum of 85% of the fluorescence intensity quenched in the PTh-g-PMA/ZnO obtained from treatment in NaOH aqueous solution for 2 h, which revealed the existence of photo-induced charge transfer between the polythiophene chains and ZnO. These results indicated that the hybrid heterojunction nanocomposites could be promising candidates for photovoltaic applications.  相似文献

The poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether monomethacrylate) (PPEGMA) grafted zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were successfully prepared via the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerizations (ATRP) from the surfaces functionalized ZnO nanoparticles. The 2-bromoisobutyrate (BIB) was immobilized onto the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles through the reaction between 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) and the hydroxyl groups on nanoparticles, serving as the initiator to induce the ATRP of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA). Well-defined polymer chains were grown from the surfaces to yield hybrid nanoparticles comprised of ZnO cores and PPEGMA polymer shells having multifunctional end groups. The structure and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The optical properties of the nanoparticles were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The results showed that the dispersion and near-band edge (NBE) emission of ZnO nanoparticles could be improved by the grafted PPEGMA polymer segments.  相似文献

Deposition of zinc(II) oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the surface of silk fabrics was prepared by sequential dipping steps in alternating bath of potassium hydroxide and zinc nitrate under ultrasound irradiation. This coating involves in situ generation and deposition of ZnO in a one step. The effects of ultrasound irradiation, concentration and sequential dipping steps on growth of the ZnO nanoparticles have been studied. Results show a decrease in the particles size as increasing power of ultrasound irradiation. Also, increasing of the concentration and sequential dipping steps increase particle size. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX).  相似文献

In order to produce magnetic microparticles (agglomerates), magnetite (Fe3O4) particles were synthesized using coprecipitation of FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O with the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) in aqueous solution.. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) methods were used to characterize the PMAA coated superparamagnetic agglomerates. The influences of various processing parameters such as the process temperature, PMAA content, and the addition of surfactant on the agglomerate size and size distribution of produced magnetic microparticles were investigated. The particle size and size distribution characteristics, (the volume weighted mean size (D[4,3], surface weighted mean size D[3,2], the geometric standard deviation, and span value) of the magnetic agglomerates were determined using the laser diffraction technique. The PMAA coated magnetic agglomerates with surface weighted mean sizes ranging from 1.5 to 3 μm were produced successfully.  相似文献

Fluorescent ZnO nanoparticles have been prepared by mixing aqueous solutions of zinc nitrate and ammonium carbonate in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant, Tween-80. Increased concentrations of the surfactant were found to affect both the morphology and purity of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA and Confocal laser scanning microscopy were employed to characterize the as-prepared samples. ZnO nanoparticles ranging in particle size from 11 to 15 nm were formed at the reaction temperature of 70-80 °C. The results of FTIR and TGA analysis indicate the self assembly of Tween molecules on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles. A bright emission in the visible region from the as-prepared ZnO nanoparticles was recorded using confocal laser scanning microscopy. This property of the as-prepared nanoparticles may find potential application in bio-imaging.  相似文献

Surface-functionalized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a modification agent, which were used as adsorbents in the adsorption of Cu2+ at certain conditions. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that the average size of ZnO particles is about 45 nm, and it exhibits hexagonal wurtzite structure. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra reveal that the EDTA species are chemically bonded on the surface of ZnO. Compared with bare ZnO particles, the functionalized ZnO nanoparticles have a better activity in the Cu2+ adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of functionalized ZnO nanoparticles is 20.97 mg/g, while it is 17.93 mg/g for the bare ZnO. The adsorption isotherm of bare ZnO particles is in accordance with the Freundlich model, and the chemical adsorption is in a dominant position in the adsorption process of Cu2+ on functionalized ZnO particles.  相似文献

Composites of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) and L-lysine-coated silica nanoparticles with varying contents were prepared by in situ bulk polymerization using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as free radical initiator. Silica nanoparticles covered by L-lysine molecules were synthesized using emulsion method. Dynamic light scattering measurements confirmed that the particles are highly monodisperse with the diameter of 10 nm and free of aggregates in the monomer (glycidyl methacrylate, GMA). Upon polymerization of the homogeneous particle/monomer dispersion, aggregates of individual silica nanoparticles are observed by tapping mode atomic force microscope (AFM). Amine and/or carboxylic acid sites on particle surface covalently react with the oxirane groups of the polymer backbone. The aggregation was substantially suppressed by using a difunctional comonomer divinyl benzene (DVB) in polymerization. A three-dimensional polymer network, P(GMA-DVB), forms throughout the system. This structure leads to significant progress in particle dispersion, therefore in physical properties of the resulting composite. We demonstrated that the composites prepared by crosslinked chains are thermally more stable and mechanically stiffer than those prepared by linear ones.  相似文献

The inorganic–organic nanocomposite coatings are prepared on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate by the spinning technique which involves incorporating homogeneously nanosized ZnO particle into the molecular inorganic–organic hybrid matrices. The hybrid matrices are derived from tetraethoxyasilane (TEOS) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxyailane (GLYMO). To avoid the destruction of the polymer structure caused by ZnO and modify the interface between nanoparticles and organic groups, ZnO was first surface-coated with SiO2 from hydrolyzed TEOS using ammonia water as catalyst. The coatings thus obtained are dense, flexible, abrasion resistant and UV absorbent.  相似文献

Colloidal ZnO nanoparticles were prepared in ethanol solutions and annealed at different temperatures (150-500 °C) subsequently. The size, morphology and surface characteristics of ZnO nanoparticles were examined by TEM, XRD, UV-vis absorption spectrum and FTIR technique. With the increase of annealing temperature, the mean size of ZnO nanoparticles was increased from 10 to 90 nm, while the bonding structure of acetate groups coordinating with zinc ions evolved from unidentate to bidentate type. The UV-induced degradation results of methyl orange verified that the photocatalytic process of colloidal ZnO nanoparticles without annealing and the sample annealed at 150 °C was unstable for the weakly bonding unidentate type of acetate groups. However, the sample annealed above 150 °C demonstrated their photocatalytic stability in the whole catalytic process for the stable bidentate bonding type of acetate groups. In addition, the change of particle size in the annealing process significantly affected the catalytic activity of photocatalysts. ZnO nanoparticles annealed at 300 °C would be a prospective photocatalysts with a high catalytic activity and stability compared with the other samples.  相似文献

Homogeneous ZnO Nanoparticles by Flame Spray Pyrolysis   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were made by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) of zinc acrylate–methanol–acetic acid solution. The effect of solution feed rate on particle specific surface area (SSA) and crystalline size was examined. The average primary particle diameter can be controlled from 10 to 20nm by the solution feed rate. All powders were crystalline zincite. The primary particle diameter observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was in agreement with the equivalent average primary particle diameter calculated from the SSA as well as with the crystalline size calculated from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for all powders, indicating that the primary particles were rather uniform in diameter and single crystals. Increasing the solution feed rate increases the flame height, and therefore coalescence and/or surface growth was enhanced, resulting in larger primary particles. Compared with ZnO nanoparticles made by other processes, the FSP-made powder exhibits some of the smallest and most homogeneous primary particles. Furthermore, the FSP-made powder has comparable BET equivalent primary particle diameter with but higher crystallinity than sol–gel derived ZnO powders.  相似文献

Ultrasound irradiation is used for anchoring zinc oxide submicron crystals with a main diameter and length of 280 nm and 470 nm, respectively, onto the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA chips (2 mm diameter), and zinc oxide crystals with a mean diameter and length of 150 nm and 230 nm, respectively, onto the surface of the PMMA spheres (1–10 μm). The zinc oxide crystals were obtained by sonochemical irradiation of a mixture containing the PMMA, zinc (II) acetate dihydrate, ethanol, water, and 24 wt.% aqueous ammonia for 2 h, yielding a PMMA–zinc oxide composite. By controlling the atmosphere and reaction conditions, we could achieve well-adhered zinc oxide crystals on the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate). The resulting zinc oxide–PMMA composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The zinc oxide-deposited PMMA chips (loaded with 0.03–1.0 wt.% ZnO) were successfully homogenized in melt by extrusion and then injection molded into small, disc-shaped samples. These samples were analyzed with respect to their directional spectral optical properties in UV, Vis and IR spectroscopy.  相似文献

Structural and optical properties of the Tb doped ZnO nanoparticles are systematically studied as a function of the Tb mole-fraction. Our study suggests that the Tb incorporates mostly on the surface and affects the optical properties of the ZnO nanoparticles by influencing the attachment of certain adsorbed groups, which are found to be responsible for the appearance of a broad green luminescence (GL) band in the photoluminescence spectra recorded for these nanoparticles. It has been found that the accumulation of Tb on the surface of the nanoparticles not only enhances the band edge to green luminescence intensity ratio under the vacuum condition but also increases the band gap energy by introducing a hydrostatic compressive strain in individual nanoparticles, which provides a unique opportunity to study the pressure dependence of the optical properties of nanoparticles without applying any external pressure. The hydrostatic compressive strain is explained in terms of the increase of the surface strain energy as a result of the Tb accumulation on the surface of the nanoparticles. The average value of the surface energy density for the particles has been estimated as a function of Tb mole-fraction. The pressure coefficient of the band gap which is obtained from the variation of the band gap energy with the hydrostatic strain has been found to decrease significantly with the particle size for the ZnO nanoparticles.  相似文献

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized sonochemically from zinc acetate solution in aqueous methanol, ethanol and iso-propanol containing about 5 volume% of alcohol. Characterization with FESEM, XRD, AFM and BET surface area shows that the synthesized particles differ in shape and size. ZnO synthesized using isopropanol was observed to be the most crystalline one. The synthesized nanoparticles were used for the photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium in aqueous medium under solar radiation. It was observed that the initial reduction rates varied with the difference in morphology of ZnO crystallites.  相似文献

We have studied luminescence enhancement of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with the average size of 30 nm on several metal surfaces at low temperatures. Bandedge luminescence originated from bound exciton (BE) annihilation is observed at 3.360 eV, and strongly depends on the kind and surface roughness of metal. The luminescence intensity is about 10 times larger for Ag surface than that for quartz surface. Furthermore, the luminescence increases remarkably when the roughness of Ag surface is almost the same as the particle size. The intensity ratio of the fast decay component to the slow one decreases for Ag surface compared with quartz. These results suggest that the luminescence enhancement is partially attributed to suppressing of the nonradiative recombination process in ZnO nanoparticles on metal surface.  相似文献

The preparation of magnetite nanoparticles with narrow size distributions using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-COOH) or carboxymethyl dextran (CMDx) chains covalently attached to the particle surface using carbodiimide chemistry is described. Particles were synthesized by thermal decomposition and modified with 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APS) to render particles with reactive amine groups (-NH2) on their surface. Amines were then reacted with carboxyl groups in PEG-COOH or CMDx using carbodiimide chemistry in water. The size and stability of the functionalized magnetic nanoparticles was studied as a function of pH and ionic strength using dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements.  相似文献

Organosilanes with different organic functional groups are precursors of corresponding organosilanol which can be attached to the surface of oxide nanoparticles by silyation. In this work, surface of commercial TiO2 nanoparticles was modified by 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) and phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS) through an aqueous process. The amount of adsorbed organosilane was evaluated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and was found to be 3 times higher on PTMS treated sample than on APS treated sample. The orientation and bonding of the molecules on particle surface was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. The obtained data confirmed that bonding of organosilanols on particle surface was realized through Si-O-Ti bonds and organic functional groups were extended away from particle surface on both APS and PTMS modified particles. It was found that phenylsilanol molecules are cross-linked to each other through Si-O-Si bonds, while such bonds are very little to none between aminosilanol molecules. A model of adsorption is proposed to explain these observations.  相似文献
