In Situ Crosslinking

The synthesis of poly(p-xylylene)s (PPXs) with sidechains containing alkyl bromide functionality, and their post-polymer modification, is described. The PPXs were prepared by a diimide hydrogenation of poly(p-phenylene vinylene)s (PPVs) that were originally synthesized by a Gilch polymerization. The polymer backbone reduction was carried out with hydrazine hydrate in toluene at 80 °C to provide polymers with the sidechain-containing bromide functionality intact. To demonstrate post-polymer modification of the sidechains, the resulting PPX polymers were modified with trimethylamine to form tetraalkylammonium ion functionality and were evaluated as anion conducting membranes. While PPX homopolymers containing tetralkylammonium ions were completely water soluble and not able to form valuable films, PPX copolymers containing mixed tetraalkylammonium ions and hydrophobic chains were capable of film formation and alkaline stability. In addition, an in situ crosslinking process that used N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine during the tetraalkylammonium formation of brominated PPX polymers was also evaluated and gave reasonable films with conductivities of ~10 mS-cm-1.

Functionalized knitted fabric, as a kind of flexible, wearable, and waterproof material capable of conductivity, sensitivity and outstanding hydrophobicity, is valuable for multi-field applications. Herein, the reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-coated knitted fabric (polyester/spandex blended) is prepared, which involves the use of graphite oxide (GO) by modified Hummers method and in-situ chemical reduction with hydrazine hydrate. The treated fabric exhibits a high electrical conductivity (202.09 S/cm) and an outstanding hydrophobicity (140°). The outstanding hydrophobicity is associated with the morphology of the fabric and fiber with reference to pseudo-infiltration. These properties can withstand repeated bending and washing without serious deterioration, maintaining good electrical conductivity (35.70 S/cm) and contact angle (119.39°) after eight standard washing cycles. The material, which has RGO architecture and continuous loop mesh structure, can find wide use in smart garment applications.

Oxidation Reduction

In this work, the preparation of graphene by chemical oxidation reduction method and a series of chemical reactions to get graphene oxide, with the preparation of graphene composites by simply chemical reduction method for the preparation of palladium/graphene composites. Through the chemical reduction method, the small size of Pd nanoparticles is acquired by controlling the content of reducing agent. The Pd nanoparticles on graphene surface is 10nm size and evenly distributed. Pd2+ adsorption on graphene surface and in situ were partially reduced to Pd to Pd2+ nanoparticles by the reducibility of graphene. In the process, the graphene was reduced to graphene and the final compound was thinner and more transparent than the pre-experiment oxide. The oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the graphene have influence to the nucleation and growth of metal nanoparticles and KI can control the morphology and size of nanoparticles. The particle size and dispersion uniformity have great influence on the catalytic performance of composites, the smaller particles have better catalytic performance.
