HETEROJUNCTION DIODES OF POROUS SILICON WITH SOLUBLE POLYANILINE*

Two kinds of heterojunction diodes of porous silicon (PS) with soluble polyaniline (PANI) werefabricated. One is a heterojunction diode of PS with water-soluble copolymer of polyaniline (PAOABSA),Al/PS-PAOABSA/Au cell as rectifying diode. Another is a heterojunction diode of PS with solublepolyaniline doped with DBSA, Al/PS-PANI (DBSA)/Au cell as light emitting diode (LED). The rectifyingcharacteristics of the rectifying diodes were measured as a function of the degree of sulfonation and thicknessof the copolymers, as well as oxidation of PS. The rectifying ratio of the heterojunction can reach 5.0×10~4 at±3 V bias. For the LED, the photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) spectra were measuredand discussed.     

ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYANILINE FILMS——EFFECT OF NEUTRAL SALTS ADDED DURING POLYMERIZATION*

The electrical and mechanical properties of polyaniline (PANI) films syn-thesized by the presence of the selected neutral salts in the polymerization were measuredas a function of the properties and the concentration of the selected neutral salts, andthe protonation state. It was found that both the electrical and mechanical properties ofPANI films were enhanced by adding neutral salts in the polymerization. The adding ofthe neutral salts in the polymerization resulted in extended conformation of polymer chainand increasing of molecular weight of PANI, which may be the reasons why the electricaland mechanical properties of PANI films were improved by the presence of neutral salts inthe polymerization.     

FERROFLUID CONTAINING SOLUBLE CONDUCTIVE POLYANILINE AND ITS FREESTANDING FILMS

Ferrofluid containing highly conductive polyaniline (PANI) was prepared, in which soluble PANI solutions dopedwith 10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) and dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) were used as the basic solution and Fe_3O_4nanoparticles (d = 10 nm) as the magnetic material. Moreover, the freestanding films of the resulting ferrofluid can beobtained by an evaporation method. The electrical and magnetic properties of the ferrofluid or its films can be adjustedthrough changing the content of PANI and Fe_3O_4. High saturated magnetization (≈ 30 emu/g) and high conductivity(≈ 250 S/cm) of the composite films can be achieved when the composite film contains 26.6 wt% of Fe_3O_4. In particular, itwas found that the composite films exhibit a super-paramagnetic behavior (Hc = 0) attributed to the size of Fe_3O_4 particles on the nanometer scale.     

PHOTO-INDUCED DOPED POLYANILINE BY THE VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE AND METHYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER AS PHOTO ACID GENERATOR

The emeraldine base form of polyaniline (PANI) can be doped by a photo-induceddoping method. In this method a copolymer of vinylidene chloride and methyl acrylate(VCMAC) was used as photo acid generator which can release proton when it is exposedto ultraviolet light (λ= 254 nm). The structure of PANI-VCMAC system before and afterirradiation was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, XPS, and SEM images. Resultsobtained indicate that the photo-induced doping characteristics, such as doping positionand type of charge carriers, are similar to that of PANI doped with HCl. The poor room-temperature conductivity (～10~(-5)S/cm) of PANI-VCMAC system after irradiation maybe due to low doping degree (～pH= 3) and the difference in morphology as compared withPANI-HCl film.     

原位溶液聚合聚苯胺与聚苯乙烯溶液共混复合材料的制备及表征

以DNSA掺杂剂,在醇(或酮)-水介质中采用原位溶液聚合法制备出了聚苯胺,以溶液共混法制备出了聚苯胺/聚苯乙烯复合材料,采用红外光谱、热失重、元素分析、扫描电镜对产物进行了表征。结果显示：掺杂的聚苯胺电导率最高为0.65 S/cm,优于常用的DBSA,具有一定实用价值和理论意义。该复合材料表面电阻率最低为101Ω/□数量级,并在一定范围内可调,可用于电磁屏蔽,适合于聚合物表面使用。     

STUDIES ON THE CHAIN STRUCTURAL EFFECT OF PVDF AND VDF (52)/TrFE(48) COPOLYMER BY MEANS OF THE METHOD OF DIELECTRIC RELAXATION

Through improvements on a fully commercial and automatic system measuring frequency andtemperature spectra of the complex elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric constants of polymerfilms, the precision for measuring complex dielectric constants achieved 2‰ from original 1%.The complex dielectric constants of PVDF, VDF (95 )/VF (5), VDF (52)/TrFE (48) and VDF(47. 5)/TrFE(47. 5)/HeFP (5) over a range of-120-140℃, 10-2-10~4Hz were measured bythe described system. The diminution of chain regularity due to 5mol% vinyl fluoride in the chainof PVDF led to disappearing of α-relaxation and increase in T_g (3℃) of VDF (95)/VF (5).Because of the spatial impediment of 5mol% HeFP in copolymer chain, the Curie point of VDF(52)/TrFE(48) decreased by 30℃ and T_g by 3℃. The behavior of dielectric relaxation indicatedthat 5mol% vinyl fluoride and HeFP made the relaxation strength of noncrystalline regionreduced, the activation energy of local relaxation increased and the relaxation time prolonged respectively.

PEG链段对聚乙二醇接枝聚苯胺结构与性能的影响

将苯胺(An)与甲氧基聚乙二醇邻氨基苯基醚氧化共聚,制备了梳状接枝共聚物PAn-g-PEG.研究了梳状接枝共聚物的UV-Vis、微观结构、热稳定性和溶解成膜性等随侧链聚乙二醇(PEG)链段的变化规律.结果表明随PAn-g-PEG中PEG链段长度和含量的提高,共聚物的溶解性和成膜性能显著提高,电子导电率缓慢降低,热稳定性变差.共聚物具有微相分离结构,其形态随PEG链段的改变分别为“海-岛相”和“双连续相”;提高PEG链段长度和含量,PAn-g-PEG能形成稳定的水溶性分散体系,并能浇注成柔韧平整的导电高分子自支撑膜.     

THIRD ORDER NONLINEAR OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF PERNIGRANILINE SOLUTION IN CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID

The fully oxidized state of polyaniline (PANI), pernigraniline (PN), was synthesizedby oxidation of the emeraldine base form of PANI dissolved in NMP solvent with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The resulted PN was characterized by FTIR and UV-Visiblespectra. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of PN in concentrated sulfuric acid(PN/H_2SO_4) were measured by a degenerated four wave mixing (DFWM) method. The re-sults obtained suggest that the soliton-pair intermediate state associated with thedegenerated state does not play a major role in the third order nonlinear optical prop-erties of PANI.     

自掺杂基团对聚苯胺自组装膜电化学性能的影响

基于离子相互作用,实现了以聚苯胺(PANI)为聚阳离子,以聚(邻氨基苯甲酸)(PCAN)、聚(邻氨基苯磺酸)(PSAN)为聚阴离子的层-层自组装,形成层厚均匀的全共轭超薄功能膜.由于磺酸基—SO3-的电负性高于—COO-,使得PANI-PSAN自组装膜沉积量小于PANI-PCAN;电化学实验结果显示,由于PCAN和PSAN的导电性均弱于PANI,所以两种自组装膜的电化学性能取决于PANI,但同时受到羧酸、磺酸基团的较大影响,使得PANI-PCAN自组装膜的电化学性能要优于PANI-PSAN.     

STUDIES ON ENHANCED CONDUCTIVITY OF STRETCHED CONDUCTING POLYMERS

A physical model of series of the conductivity on chain and the interchain conductivitybetween chains is proposed to explain enhanced conductivity of stretched conducting polymers.This model suggests that the enhanced conductivity for stretched conducting polymers might bedue to increasing of the interchain conductivity between chains along the elongation direction afterdrawing processes if the conductivity on chain is assumed much larger than that of the interchainconductivity between chains. According to this model, it is expected that the temperaturedependence of conductivity measured by four-probe method for stretched conducting polymers iscontrolled by a variation of the interchain conductivity between chains with temperature, whichcan be used to explain that a metallic temperature dependence of conductivity for stretchedconducting polymers is not observed although the conductivity along the elongation direction isenhanced by two or three orders of magnitude.     

EFFECT OF CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF SULFOXIDE GRAFTED POLY (VINYL ALCOHOL) ON GAS PERMEABILITY

The effects of chemical structure, i. e. side chain structure and their contents, on thepermeability of pure SO_2, N_2 and their mixture gases for the sulfoxide grafted poly (vinylalcohol) (RVSO-PVA) membranes have been investigated:where R=Me, Et, Pr, t-Bu and Ph. It was notable that introduction of sulfoxide group intoPVA side chain greatly enhanced the permselectivity of sulfur dioxide. SO_2 permeability andseparation factor of these polymers increased markedly as the size of side chain increased. Thesulfoxide content of the polymer also played an important role in the pure and mixture gasespermeation. Some explanations have been made to interpret this unique gas separation behaviour.     

EFFECT OF SOLVENT COMPOSITION ON THE SULFONATION DEGREE OF POLY(PHENYLENE OXIDE) (PPO)

This paper investigates the possibility of attaining sulphonated poly(phenylene oxide) (SPPO) with a relativelyhigher sulfonation degree. To achieve this aim, the approach we adopt is to improve the solubility of the final product in themixed solvent so that the sulfonation may take place between the bulk solutions and PPO powders even at higher sulfonationdegree. It is shown that the addition of a proper amount of dimethyl formide (DMF) to the conventional PPO-chloroformsystem can actually enhance the sulfonation effect. The solvent composition is then correlated with the sulfonation degreebased on the solubility parameters. It is interesting to find that solubility parameters between the mixed solvent and theprecipitated products keep an approximately unchanged value at about 4.9, which is just equal to that when pure chloroformis used, though the solubility parameters of both solvents increase with the content of DMF in solution. This may be the mainreason why the addition of DMF can reduce the precipitation and improve the ion exchange capacity (IEC) of SPPOpolymer.     

CONFIGURATION-DEPENDENT PROPERTIES OF POLY(DIMETHYLSILOXANE) CHAIN*

The intermolecular rotational potential energies for poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) chains aredirectly obtained from a priori probability P_(αβ). Here the differing statistical weight matrices for the Si-Oand O-Si bonds are considered in calculating the configuration partition function. In the Bahar's model, asthe same statistical weight matrices for the Si -O and O- Si bonds are adopted, there exists a large deviationof αpriori probability P_(αβ) between the theory and the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Our model givessatisfactory agreement with experiment on the mean-square unperturbed end-to-end distance, the mean-square dipole moment and its temperature dependence, and the molar cyclization equilibrium constants fordimethylsiloxane oligomers. This new rotational isomeric state approach can be widely applied to otherchains, such as -CH_2-C[(CH_2)_mH]_2- and -O-Si[(CH_2)_mH]_2 for arbitrary m.     

CLOUD POINT CURVES OF POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL)/POLY(PROPYLENE GLYCOL) MIXTURES AND THEIR THERMODYNAMIC EXPLANATION

In the study of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) mixtures not only a bimodal shape but also a reverse trend of the dependence on molecular weight of the cloud point curves were observed.This trend indicates that the miscibility of the studied mixtures decreases as the molecular weight of one component decreases. The excess volumes of the mixtures show that the interaction parameter between two components decreases at first and increases after passing a minimum as the concentration of one component increases. This supports the explanation of Koningsveld on the bimodal shape of cloud point curves. Based on a binary interaction model a formula was derived revealing that the interaction between PPG and the end group of PEG and the hydrogen bonding interaction between ether and hydroxy end group inner or inter PEG molecules are not favorable for mixing. The latter interaction is an "attractive" force in PEG molecules. The two interactions are responsible for the observed abnormal dependence.     

POROUS MEMBRANE TEMPLATED SYNTHESIS OF POLYMER PILLARED LAYER

The anodic porous alumina membranes with a definite pore diameter and aspect ratio were used as templates tosynthesize polymer pillared layer structures. The pillared polymer was produced in the template membrane pores, and thelayer on the template surfaces. Rigid cured epoxy resin, polystyrene and soft hydrogel were chosen to confirm themethodology. The pillars were in the form of either tubes or fibers, which were controlled by the alumina membrane pore surface wettability. The structural features were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy results.     

SYNTHESIS OF HIGH THERMOSTABLE SILICONE GELS CONSTRUCTED WITH LADDERLIKE POLYSILSESQUIOXANES*

Heat-resistant silicone gels were synthesized by replacing the single main chain polymethylhydrosiloxane withreactive ladderlike polyhydrosilsesquioxane copolymers. Because of the interaction between polydimethylsiloxane chainsand the ladderlike polysilsesquioxanes chains, the cyclization of the polydimethylsiloxane chains is hindered. The highthermal stability of the ladderlike polymers can improve the thermal stability of the silicone gels without sacrificing their good comprehensive properties.     

STUDY ON LIQUID CRYSTALLINITY OF POLY(N-VINYLCARBAZOLE)

The liquid crystallinity of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) was studied by using powder X-ray diffraction, polarized opticalmicroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that the lower molecular weight fractions of this polymerdo not form a liquid crystalline phase, while the samples of sufficiently high molecular weight do form a mesophase attemperatures above the glass transition. The lowest value of the degree of polymerization for PVK to form a stable liquidcrystalline phase was found to be in the range of 150 to 200, significantly higher than the value of 50 for most conventionalside chain liquid crystaline polymers.     

SHAPE MEMORY EFFECT OF SLIGHTLY-CROSSLINKED POLYETHYLENE

A series of slightly crosslinked polyethylenes (SXLPE) was prepared by aone-step method using dicumyl peroxide as crosslinking agent in a Haake Mixer. The gelcontents G (Soxhlet extracted) of the samples are in the range from 5% to 20% by weight.Their shear viscosity, crystallization and melting behavior, dynamic mechanical propertiesand shape recovery effect were systematically investigated in terms of the content of thecrosslinking agent. It shows that under certain experimental conditions the SXLPE's mayexhibit good shape fixation ability and shape memory properties, which are similar to thoseof the commercially available shape memory polyethylenes prepared by gamma-irradiationtechnique. However the shape memory behavior of these samples is not very stable due totheir low crosslinking degree, or gel content. Thus their application is limited in specialcases with fast strain fixing procedures.     

MESO-STRUCTURED POLYMERIC HYDROGELS

Meso-structured (opal and inverse opal) polymeric hydrogels of varied morphology and composition wereprepared by using two methods: post-modification of the template-synthesized structured polymers and template-polymerization of functional monomers. A polyacrylic acid based inverse opal hydrogel was chosen to demonstrate its fastpH response by changing color, which is important in designing tunable photonic crystals. Template effects of the hydrogelson controlling structure of the template-synthesized inorganic materials were discussed. The catalytic effect of acid groups inthe templates was emphasized for a preferential formation of TiO_2 in the region containing acid groups, which allowedduplicating inorganic colloidal crytals from colloidal crystal hydrogels (or macroporous products from macroporoushydrogels) via one step duplication.
