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.

The primary pyroelectric transition temperature of wurtzite nitrides (AlN, GaN and InN) has been explored theoretically from their thermal properties. The spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization modifies the thermal conductivity of nitrides. The thermal conductivity [Formula: see text] as a function of temperature including and excluding the polarization mechanism predicts a transition temperature [Formula: see text] between primary and secondary pyroelectric effects. Below [Formula: see text], thermal conductivity including polarization field [Formula: see text] is lesser than thermal conductivity excluding polarization field [Formula: see text]. This is due to negative thermal expansion in binary nitrides below [Formula: see text]; however, above [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] is significantly contributed by piezoelectric polarization above [Formula: see text] due to thermal expansion which is the reason for the secondary pyroelectric effect. The transition temperature [Formula: see text] for AlN, GaN and InN has been predicted as 100 K, 70 K and 60 K, respectively, which fit well with the prior literature studies. This report proposes that thermal properties’ study can reveal the role of acoustic phonons in pyroelectricity.

AbstractMicro and nanocomposites of hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)-based polyurethanes (NPU) were obtained using five mineral fillers and Cloisite 20A nanoclay, respectively. Samples were prepared by the reaction of HTPB polyol and toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and the chain was further extended with glyceryl monoricinoleate to produce the final elastomeric polyurethanes. Mechanical and thermal properties were studied, showing that mineral fillers (20%w/w) significantly increased tensile strength, in particular nanoclay (at 5% w/w). When nanoclay-polymer dispersion was modified with a silane and hydantoin-bond promoter, elongation at break was significantly increased with respect to NPU with C20A. Thermal properties measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were not significantly affected in any case. The molecular structure of prepared micro and nanocomposites was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Interaction of fillers with polymer chains is discussed, considering the role of silanes in compatibilization of hydrophilic mineral fillers and hydrophobic polymer. The functionalization of nanoclay with HMDS silane was confirmed using FTIR. Microstructure of NPU with C20A nanoclay was confirmed by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
