Formation of PdNiZn thin film at oil‐water interface: XPS study and application as Suzuki‐Miyaura catalyst

Nanosheet of PdNiZn and nanosphere of PdNiZn/reduced‐graphene oxide (RGO) with sub‐3 nm spheres have been successfully synthesized through a facile oil‐water interfacial strategy. The morphology and composition of the films were determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis of X‐ray (EDAX) and elemental mapping. In the present study, we have developed a method to minimize the usage of precious Pd element. Due to the special structure and intermetallic synergies, the PdNiZn and PdNiZn/RGO nanoalloys exhibited enhanced catalytic activity and durability relative to Pd nanoparticles in Suzuki‐Miyaura C‐C cross‐coupling reaction. Compared to classical cross‐coupling reactions, this method has the advantages of a green solvent, short reaction times, low catalyst loading, high yields and reusability of the catalysts.     

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) dispersions in aqueous solution and electronic transport properties when dried as thin film conductors

Obtaining uniformly dispersed SWNT within an aqueous mixture for subsequent use as a dried coating in electronic biosensors is a challenge. The objective of this study is to relate SWNT dispersion conditions to resultant dried film properties. Aqueous solutions of SWNT dispersed with CMC (a dispersing agent with unique properties compatible with biomolecules) at different SWNT:CMC weight ratios and at different sonication conditions were studied. Solution particle size distribution data was obtained using dynamic light scattering. Differently formulated/processed SWNT/CMC solutions were used to form dry thin, conductive films. The resistance of each film was measured and its resistivity calculated. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) design of experiments (DOE) analysis was used as the tool to fit the data to establish a model and identify trends for the parameters studied. Profilometry was used to examine film surface uniformity. 3D optical microscopy was used to investigate film morphology and determine film thickness, and to relate these data back to solution dispersion conditions and dried film resistances. The lowest dried film resistivity (0.012 ohm-cm) was obtained at the highest levels of parameters studied in the DOE. Smaller solution particle size resulted in lower dried film surface roughness and better film uniformity.     

One‐step electrochemical deposition to achieve superhydrophobic cobalt incorporated amorphous carbon‐based film with self‐cleaning and anti‐corrosion

Exploiting a superhydrophobic surface is very significant due to its excellent water repellency which has many practical applications in various fields. In this work, the cobalt incorporated amorphous carbon‐based (Co/a‐C:H) film was prepared successfully on Si substrate via a simple 1‐step electrochemical deposition where electrochemical deposition technology was using cobalt (II) acetylacetonate methanol solution as electrolyte under high voltage, atmospheric pressure, and low temperature. Surprisingly, the as‐prepared film showed a superior superhydrophobic surface with a water contact angle of 153 ± 1° and a sliding angle of 7.6° without any further modification of low surface energy materials. Especially, the tape adhesive, corrosion resistance, and self‐cleaning tests demonstrated that the as‐prepared carbon‐based film could possess fairly well adhesion, superior anti‐corrosion resistance, and self‐cleaning ability, respectively. It indicated that the superhydrophobic Co/a‐C:H film might have potential promising applications in the field of anti‐fouling, anti‐corrosion, and drag resistance, such as the above‐deck structures on icebreaker vessels, ship hulls, and offshore wind turbine blades.     

Highly oriented and ordered microstructures in block copolymer films

Block copolymer (BCP) films with long-range lateral ordering and orientation are crucial for many applications. Here, we report a simple, versatile strategy based on a solution casting procedure, to produce millimeter thick film of BCPs with highly oriented nanostructures. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and Hansen solubility parameters were used to study the morphology and interactions of the system. A variety of BCP-solvent pairs were investigated. Factors including set-up geometry, BCP characteristics, solvent evaporation, surface tension, and interactions, such as solvent-BCP, solvent-substrate, and BCP-substrate were examined. A mechanism is proposed to describe the observed long-range lateral ordering and orientation in films up to 1 mm in thickness. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Decreasing the shell ratio of core-shell type nanoparticles with a ceria core and polymer shell by acid treatment

Core-shell type nanoparticles with a ceria core and polymer shell have good dispersibility. Some applications, such as fillers for increasing the refractive index and/or protecting resin films from ultraviolet (UV) light, i.e., UV cutting, require a smaller shell. Previous studies have decreased the shell weight by heat treatment in gas; however, the dispersibility of the treated nanoparticles was poor in water or alcohol. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of acid treatment for decreasing the shell weight and also evaluated the dispersibility of acid-treated nanoparticles. The thus-formed nanoparticles treated by acetic acid and formic acid show not only good dispersibility but also a well decreased shell thickness. The structure of the shell after acetic acid treatment was found to be the same as that of the untreated core-shell nanoparticles; moreover, acetic acid was present in the shell. Furthermore, by using the acetic-acid-treated nanoparticles, a transparent resin film without nanoparticle aggregation could be obtained.     

Peptide anchored Langmuir–Blodgett films of a fullerene amphiphile

A new amphiphilic derivative of fullerene C₆₀ bearing an oligoglycyl tail (C₆₀CHCOgly₂OEt, 2) formed stable Langmuir floating films at the air–water interface. This occurred when the molecular assembly was stabilized by anchoring the amphiphilic C₆₀'s to the aqueous subphase, via hydrogen bonding interactions between a dipeptide (Gly–L–Leu) dissolved in the water subphase, and the oligoglycyl chain. The compression (π−A) isotherm of the Langmuir floating film constructed in such a way showed no hysteresis, was steep, and evidenced that the monolayer collapsed at a surface pressure π65 mN m⁻¹, thus confirming that the film was tightly packed, extremely stable, and rigid. A limiting area per molecule of 89.1 Ų was extrapolated, in agreement with the calculated cross-section area of the C₆₀ fullerene. On the contrary, when the dipeptide was absent and pure water was used as the subphase, the π−A isotherm yielded a limiting area <55 Ų which indicated the formation of multiple layers; moreover it showed significant hysteresis, the film was fragile, and it collapsed at π≈50 mN m⁻¹. Once anchored by the dipeptide, the floating monolayer of 2 could be transferred onto hydrophobic quartz, glass and silicon substrates, by successive vertical dipping cycles, each cycle made up of two down-strokes and two up-strokes, to yield the Langmuir–Blodgett film. Up to 200 down- and up-strokes could be repeated reproducibly, a noteworthy result for non-covalently assembled LB films of fullerenes. The transfer ratio was 1.0, except for the second down-stroke of each cycle that gave a transfer ratio of zero, making the sequence of successful transfers: D, U, U, (cleaning and spreading), D, U, U, (cleaning and spreading), and so on (D=down-stroke, U=up-stroke). The total number of deposited layers was therefore 150. X-ray diffraction spectra were registered and exhibited a peak, which was fitted by a Montecarlo method of simulation to obtain the distribution of the repeat unit responsible for scattering; such distribution, with thickness between 20 and 60 Å, was consistent with the size of the amphiphile and the transfer sequence. The UV–Vis spectra of the LB film exhibited the characteristic C₆₀ bands, and the absorption peaks in the 200–400 nm range were proportional to the number of layers, indicating that the deposition was reproducible and that the molecular environment of C₆₀ in each layer remained constant.     

Experimental investigation of the parameter dependency of the removal rate of thermochemically polished CVD diamond films

Parameters controlling the removal rate of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond films thermochemically polished on transition metals in a mixed argon-hydrogen atmosphere were investigated. The ambient temperature, the pressure exerted on the diamond film, the angular velocity of the polishing plate, the frequency and the amplitude of the transverse vibrations were among the parameters used in the experiments. Temperature measurements showed that the removal rate was increased exponentially with increasing magnitude of the parameter. An exponential increase in the removal rate was also observed with increasing pressure and hence with increasing contact between the diamond film and the polishing plate. However, an exponential decrease in the removal rate was observed with increasing angular velocity of the polishing plate. The removal rate obtained with the application of transverse vibrations was more than three times that obtained without transverse vibrations. Moreover, the removal rate was seen to be higher at resonant frequencies. An increase in the removal rate with increasing amplitude of the transverse vibrations was also observed. Raman measurements carried out on the films to determine the presence of the non-diamond carbon layer after thermochemical polishing revealed non-diamond Raman lines only for films polished at 1000 °C and 1050 °C for the temperature range 750–1050 °C.

Influences of Heating Condition and Substrate-Surface Roughness on the Characteristics of Sol-Gel-Derived Hydroxyapatite Coatings

A prepared transparent HA solution was coated on Ti6Al4V substrates by a spin-coating technique. The crystallization of the sol-gel-derived HA coated on the metallic substrates could be done at relatively low firing temperatures (as low as 600°C). The characteristics of the HA-coated layer were dependent on the surface roughness of substrates and heating conditions such as firing temperature, holding time, heating rate, and atmosphere. The heat treatment at a slow heating rate (<2°C/min.) and a long heating time (>10 hrs) at 600°C in air produced the uniform surface and improved the crystallinity. The HA layer coated on 20 m grit-blasted substates was more uniform and had fever cracks after firing, compared with that coated on 100 m grit-blasted rougher substrates.
