This paper described the preparation of optically active polyurethanes (BPUs)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites through the high-intensity ultrasound. SEM and TEM observations showed the homogeneous coating of MWCNTs by BPU. The infrared emissivity (8-14μm) study revealed that the composites possessed much lower infrared values compared with those of the polyurethanes and nanotubes, due to the special interface effect. The lowest infrared emissivity values of nanocomposites were S-BPU/MWCNTs εmin=0.461 and R-BPU/MWCNTs εmin=0.418, respectively.

Optically active polymers are promising multifunctional materials with great application potentials. Herein, environmentally friendly optically active polyurethanes (OPUs) were obtained by introducing rotatory binaphthol monomer to polyurethane. The influence of binaphthol monomer content on the structure, mechanical properties, infrared emissivity, and thermal insulation of OPUs was studied intensively. Structure characterization indicated that the optically active polyurethanes have been successfully synthesized. The OPU synthesized with BIMOL and BDO at the mole ratio of 1:1 presented better thermal resistance. In addition, OPUs showed enhanced tensile strength and stretchability with the increase of BINOL content to a certain extent due to its rigid structural features and high molecular weight. The optically active polyurethanes showed lower infrared emissivity values (8–14 μm) than waterborne polyurethane (WPU), and the infrared emissivity decreased from 0.850 to 0.572 as the content of the BINOL monomer increased. Moreover, OPU4 exhibited the best heat insulation and cooling ability with about a 7 °C temperature difference. The thus-synthesized optically active polyurethanes provide an effective solution for developing highly effective thermal insulation materials.

Helical monosubstituted polyacetylene@CdSe quantum dots (HPA@CdSe QDs) nanocomposites were fabricated by grafting helical HPA polymers onto the surface of semiconductor QDs through ester linkage. Optically active HPA derived from chiral serine was polymerized by a rhodium zwitterion catalyst, and evidently proved to adopt a predominately single-handed helical conformation. The HPA@QDs nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate that the HPA matrix exhibits an enhancement in thermal stability after hybridization with CdSe QDs, while the QDs can maintain their original crystalline structure during the grafting process. The infrared emissivity property of the HPA@QDs nanocomposites at 8-14 μm was further investigated. These data demonstrated that the HPA@QDs composite film with doped CdSe QDs possesses an infrared emissivity value of 0.393, which was much lower than pristine HPA and QDs. This might be attributed to the incorporation of optically active helical HPA and semiconductor QDs in a hybrid phase and their strengthened interfacial interaction.
