Role of tunable polymer flexibility in controlling wetting behavior and thermal properties of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene)‐silica nanocomposites

The development of anilinium 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonate (Ani-AMPS) monomer, confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FTIR, is systematically studied. Ani-AMPS contains two polymerizable functional groups, so it was submitted to selective polymerization either by free-radical or oxidative polymerization. Therefore, poly(anilinium 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic) [Poly(Ani-AMPS)] and polyaniline doped with 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid [PAni-AMPS] can be obtained. First, the acrylamide polymer, poly(Ani-AMPS), favored the π-stacking of the anilinium group produced by the inter- and intra-molecular interactions and was studied utilizing 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and UV-Vis-NIR. Furthermore, poly(Ani-AMPS) fluorescence shows quenching in the presence of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the emission spectrum at 347 nm. In contrast, the typical behavior of polyaniline is observed in the cyclic voltammetry analysis for PAni-AMPS. The optical properties also show a significant change at pH 4.4. The PAni-AMPS structure was corroborated through FTIR, while the thermal properties and morphology were analyzed utilizing TGA, DSC (except PAni-AMPS), and FESEM.

The role of nanodielectrics in the electrical power system is becoming crucial owing to its superior properties and potential applications in the field. Yet, the materials face limited breakdown strength and thermal properties. Further, the nanodielectrics have not found a comprehensive commercial platform because of the costly manufacturing process, and characterization and testing facilities. Therefore, to reduce the involved cost, in this work, an FE (finite element) based computational technique has been implemented to visualize the effect of shape, size, and filler concentration under the application of high voltage (HV). The epoxy-based nanodielectrics have been modeled incorporating a range of different shapes and size nanofillers—Al2O3, BN, BeO, SiO2, and TiO2. The paper discusses the 2D-analysis of the modeled nanodielectric in the steady-state electrostatic fields and thermal domains. It shows the insights of the nanofillers’ choice to ensure a perfect blend of electrical and thermal properties. The epoxy with square-shaped BeO fillers showed a rise in the electric field of nearly 1.5 times than unfilled neat epoxy, which indicates a significant surge in thermal conductivity at specific filler loading.
