An elegant and efficient approach consisting in the co-intercalation of stabilizing molecular anions is described here. The thermal stabilizer calcium diethyl bis[[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methyl]phosphonate] (Irganox 1425, MP-Ca) and a photo-oxidation stabilizer (hindered amine light stabilizer, HALS) are co-intercalated into the interlayer regions of layered double hydroxides (LDH) in a one-step coprecipitation. These hybrid organic–inorganic materials are successively dispersed in polypropylene to form H n M n ′-Ca2Al/PP composite films (with H = HALS and M = MP) through a solvent casting method. The corresponding crystalline structure, chemical composition, morphology as well as the resistance against thermal aging and photo-oxidation are carefully investigated by various techniques. The results show that the powdered H n M n ′-Ca2Al-LDHs hybrid materials have a much higher thermal stability than MP-Ca and HALS before intercalation. In addition, the H n M n ′-Ca2Al/PP composites exhibit a higher overall resistance against thermal degradation and photo-oxidation compared to LDHs intercalated with only HALS or MP. This underlines the benefit of the co-intercalation. The co-intercalated LDH materials pave a new way in designing and fabricating high-performance multifunctional additives for polymers.

AbstractA homogeneously mixed phase of carbon and 10% nickel yielding amorphous carbon-nickel composite (a-C-Ni) films is prepared by an excimer UV pulsed laser ablation. Conductivity study of these films shows a nearly activated conduction. Also a saturation of conductivity below a temperature of 25 K explains the presence of an additional density of states at the Fermi level in these samples. Our experiments demonstrate a very different behaviour of electronic properties of these novel materials compared to undoped diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, which was directly confirmed using valence band spectroscopy.

Abstract Copper-iron (Cu-Fe) oxide composite films were successfully deposited on quartz substrate by a facile sparking process. The nanoparticles were deposited on the substrate after sparking off the Fe and Cu tips with different ratios and were then annealed at different temperatures. The network particles was observed after annealed the film at 700°C. Meanwhile, XRD and SAED patterns of the annealed films at 700°C consisted of a mixed phase of CuO, γ-Fe2O3, CuFe2O4 and CuFe2O. The film with a lowest energy band gap (Eg) of 2.56 eV was observed after anneal at 700°C. Interestingly, the optimum ratio and annealing temperature show highly photocatalytic activity than annealed TiO2 at 500 and 700°C. This is a novel photocatalyst which can be replace TiO2 for photocatalytic applications in the future.

Polylactic acid (PLA) films with good sustainable and biodegradable properties have been increasingly explored recently, while the poor mechanical property of PLA limits its further application. Herein, three kinds of nano-sized cellulose formate (NCF: cellulose nanofibril (CNF), cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), and regenerated cellulose formate (CF)) with different properties were fabricated via a one-step formic acid (FA) hydrolysis of tobacco stalk, and the influence of the properties of NCF with different morphologies, crystallinity index (CrI), and degree of substitution (DS) on the end quality of PLA composite film was systematically compared. Results showed that the PLA/CNC film showed the highest increase (106%) of tensile strength compared to the CNF- and CF-based films, which was induced by the rod-like CNC with higher CrI. PLA/CF film showed the largest increase (50%) of elongation at the break and more even surface, which was due to the stronger interfacial interaction between PLA and the CF with higher DS. Moreover, the degradation property of PLA/CNF film was better than that of other composite films. This fundamental study was very beneficial for the development of high-quality, sustainable packaging as an alternative to petroleum-based products.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Polygermanes are germanium-based analogues of polyolefins and possess polymer backbones made up catenated Ge atoms. In the present contribution we report the preparation of a stable germanium polyethylene analogue – polydihydrogermane (i.e., (GeH2)n) – via two straightforward approaches that involve topotactic deintercalation of the CaGe Zintl phase. The resulting (GeH2)n possess morphologically dependent chemical and electronic properties and thermally decompose to yield amorphous hydrogenated Ge. We also show that the resulting (GeH2)n provide a platform from which functionalized polygermanes can be prepared via thermally-induced hydrogermylation-mediated pendant group substitution. This facile one-step derivatization reaction exploits Ge–H reactivity and opens the door to a wide array of tailored functional polygermanes. </p> </div> </div> </div>
