Pattern Formation in Thin Polymer Films Containing Conducting Polyaniline

Summary: In the present work knowledge the authors tried to direct the phase separation process in a thin polymer composite film to manufacture a polymer pattern via self organisation of the blend components. The Au substrate was modified by applying with a PDMS stamp a pattern of alternating stripes of a self-assembled monolayer. This in turn influenced the microstructure of the blend, allowing for the production of elongated domains repeating the pattern of the substrate. The blends studied in this work contained conducting polyaniline doped with camphorsulfonic acid or diphenyl phosphate and polystyrene. The role of the dopant was to induce electrical conductivity in polyaniline as well as to improve its solubility in common organic solvents. The microstructure of thin films was analysed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy (dSIMS) and optical microscopy.     

Adsorption and Kinetics Studies of Cr (VI) by Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide-Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite

In this work, graphene oxide (GO) and its reduced graphene oxide-zinc oxide nanocomposite (rGO-ZnO) was used for the removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous medium. By employing a variety of characterization techniques, morphological and structural properties of the adsorbents were determined. The adsorption study was done by varying concentration, temperature, pH, time, and amount of adsorbent. The results obtained confirmed that rGO-ZnO is a more economical and promising adsorbent for removing Cr (VI) as compared to GO. Kinetic study was also performed, which suggested that sorption of Cr (VI) follows the pseudo-first-order model. For equilibrium study, non-linear Langmuir was found a better fitted model than its linearized form. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated for GO and rGO-ZnO nanocomposite were 19.49 mg/g and 25.45 mg/g, respectively. Endothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption was detected with positive values of ΔS (change in entropy), which reflects the structural changes happening at the liquid/solid interface.

Redox‐Switchable Surface Wrinkling on Polyaniline Film

Here the redox‐driven switch between the wrinkled and dewrinkled states on poly­aniline (PANI) film is reported. This switch is derived from the reversible transition in different intrinsic redox states of polyaniline (e.g., between emeraldine salt (ES) and leucoemeraldine base (LEB) or between ES and pernigraniline base (PB)) that are involved in the redox reaction, coupled with the corresponding volume expansion/shrinkage. Interestingly, the as‐wrinkled ES film becomes deswollen and dewrinkled when reduced to the LEB state or oxidized to the PB state. Conversely, oxidation of the LEB film or reduction of the PB film into the swollen ES film leads to the reoccurrence of surface wrinkling. Furthermore, the reducibility of the dewrinkled LEB film and the oxidizability of the dewrinkled PB film are well utilized respectively to yield various wrinkled PANI‐based composite films.

     

Preparation of Molecularly Imprinted Electrochemical Sensor for Detection of Vincristine Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide/Gold Nanoparticle Composite Film

An innovative molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanocomposite (Au) for rapid detection of vincristine (VCR). The RGO‐Au composite membrane was obtained via direct one‐step electrodeposition technique of graphene oxide (GO) and chloroauric acid (HAuCl₄) on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the potential range between ?1.5 and 0.6 V in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 9.18, which is capable of effectively utilizing its superior electrical conductivity, larger specific surface area due to its synergistic effect between RGO and Au. The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized on the RGO‐Au modified glassy carbon electrode surface with VCR as the template molecular, methyl acrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, and ethylene glycol maleic rosinate acrylate (EGMRA) as a cross‐linker. The performance of the sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in detail. Under the optimum conditions, the fabricated sensor exhibited a linear relationship between oxidation peak current and VCR concentration over the range of 5.0×10^?8–5.0×10^?6 mol·L ^minus;1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9952 and a detection limit (S/N=3) of 2.6×10^minus;8 mol·L^minus;1. The results indicated that the imprinted polymer films exhibited an excellent selectivity for VCR. The imprinted sensor was successfully used to determine VCR in real samples with recoveries of 90% –120% by using the standard addition method.

Polyaniline copolymers with solvent‐mimic side chains

We investigated new polyaniline copolymers with solvent‐mimic side chains for enhanced processability in various solvents. The solvent‐mimic side chains, benzyloxypropoxy (BOP), phenoxybutoxy (POB), and dihydroxypropoxy (DHP), were introduced into copolymers and used with nonpolar aromatic and polar alcoholic solvents, respectively. Compared to a polyaniline homopolymer, polyaniline copolymers with a small amount of side chains (<4 mol %) exhibit different physical properties, including film‐forming ability. This can be attributed to the solvent‐mimic side chains strongly interacting with the solvent and/or the polyaniline backbone. Especially, in nonpolar aromatic solvents, polyaniline copolymers with nonpolar aromatic BOP and POB side chains exhibit good film‐forming ability leading to high electrical conductivity, while the polyaniline homopolymer did not form a film. Therefore, introducing solvent‐mimic side chains in conducting polymers is a very attractive method of enhancing their processability and physical properties. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite Modified Electrodes for Sensitive Detection of Ciprofloxacin

The synthesis of novel nanocomposites with great sensing enhancement has played an important role in analytical chemistry, especially in the electrochemical detection of drug molecules. In this work, we report a wet chemical method for the preparation of a gold nanoparticle coated β‐cyclodextrin functionalized reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite. A number of different analytical techniques including ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy were employed to characterize the as‐synthesized nanocomposite. With excellent electrocatalytic properties and high supramolecular recognition ability, the as‐synthesized nanocomposite was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode surface for the sensitive determination of ciprofloxacin using voltammetric technique. The current response of ciprofloxacin on the nanocomposite modified electrode was greatly enhanced compared to that on the bare and other modified electrodes. Using differential pulse voltammetry, the oxidation peak currents increased linearly with the ciprofloxacin concentrations in the range between 0.01 to 120 μM with a detection limit of 2.7 nM. The electrochemical testing results showed good stability and reproducibility. Therefore, the nanocomposite could be a potential candidate for the development of electrochemical sensors for sensitive and selective determination of ciprofloxacin or similar drugs in the future.     

Polythiophene formation within hyperbranched grafts on polyethylene films

Interphase oligomerization of thiophene within a supported thin film is described. Polyethylene (PE) surfaces containing an irregularly hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) graft were first prepared by multistep grafting of poly(tert‐butylacrylate) onto oxidized PE. The product ultrathin PAA grafts were then further modified by amidation or esterification with thiophenes containing amino or hydroxyl groups to form new interfaces containing thiophene monomers. These thiophene‐modified grafts were characterized by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy and were shown to be suitable as substrates in an oxidative polymerization method with FeCl₃ as an oxidant. The product 2,5‐coupled thiophene oligomers (3‐PAA/PE–oligomerized thiophene ester, OTE) emitted a yellow‐green light under UV irradiation, indicating that a conjugated fluorescence oligothiophene had been prepared within these hyperbranched films. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Polyaniline as a Material for Hydrogen Storage Applications

The main challenge of commercialization of the hydrogen economy is the lack of convenient and safe hydrogen storage materials, which can adsorb and release a significant amount of hydrogen at ambient conditions. Finding and designing suitable cost‐effective materials are vital requirements to overcome the drawbacks of investigated materials. Because of its outstanding electronic, thermal, and chemical properties, the electrically conducting polyaniline (PANI) has a high potential in hydrogen storage applications. In this review, the progress in the use of different structures of conducting PANI, its nanocomposites as well as activated porous materials based on PANI as hydrogen storage materials is presented and discussed. The effect of the unique electronic properties based on the π‐electron system in the backbone of these materials in view of the hydrogen uptake and the relevant mechanisms are highlighted.

     

Highly Conducting Polyaniline Gels

An improved method, based on mechanical stirring and a controlled solvent evaporation process, is proposed to obtain PANI(CSA)_0.5/m‐cresol solutions, which lead to gels with conductivities in the range 3 to 150 S/cm, preserving the elasticity associated to the gel network. Such high conductivity values have only been found for brittle films cast from PANI solutions. According to our experimental results, there is no justification for an analogy between the elastic modulus and the conductivity of physical networks.     

Single step synthesis of poly(3‐octylthiophene)/multi‐walled carbon nanotube composites and their characterizations

The transport properties of conducting polymers are known to be greatly influenced by the chemical unsaturation surrounding the polymer backbone, besides favorable conformation of the side chains present. Polymeric composites with multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) can provide a good conductive path at relatively low carbon contents, as these have high aspect ratio, specific surfaces and are cost effective. Hence their use in various applications such as organic LED, solar cells and supercapacitors are very much anticipated. In this respect poly(3‐octylthiophene)/MWNT composites have been prepared by an “insitu” polymerization process in chloroform medium with FeCl₃ oxidant at room temperature. The composites were characterized by Fourier Transfer Infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), Raman, work function and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The results indicate only a weak π‐π interaction between the moieties, in the absence of a strong covalent bonding. The ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) measurements also support this view. The photoluminescence (PL) quenching indicates the effectiveness of the interface in the formation of the donor–acceptor type composite. The conductivity of the composites is followed by a four probe technique to understand the conduction mechanism. The Hall voltage measurement is followed to monitor carrier concentrations and mobilities. The impressive conductivity and mobility values encourage the utility of the composites as photovoltaic material. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and Characterization of In-Situ Polymerized Nanocomposites Based on Polyaniline in Presence of MWCNTs

Summary: Polyaniline (PANI) composites were prepared with both unmodified and amine modified MWCNTs with and without BaTiO₃ through in-situ oxidative polymerization. Uniform coating of PANI on the MWCNTs and BaTiO₃ surfaces was found which was evident from the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopic (HRTEM) images. The structure of pure and amine modified MWCNTs was identified by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal stability of the amine modified composite with BaTiO₃ is higher than that of the unmodified composite because of the better affinity between modified MWCNTs and polymer matrix and due to the higher stability of barium titanate itself. The capacitance of amine modified MWCNTs and BaTiO₃ composites was less than that of the pure MWCNTs composites but the thermal stability increased in amine modified MWCNTs and BaTiO₃ composites with respect to the pure MWCNTs composites. The maximum capacitance and energy density values were found in MWCNT/PANI composites which were equal to 523.20 F/g and 142.83 Wh/kg respectively at a scan rate of 10mv/s. Maximum power density was found to be 5147.70 W/kg in the same composite at a scan rate of 200 mv/s.
