Stable optical properties of high transmittance and low yellow index, which are required for a polyimide film as a flexible display substrate could be affected by thermal imidization even in oxidative-stable fluorinated polyimides.

Firstly, 1,4-bis(3-nitro-5-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene(I) was synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene in the presence of potassium carbonate. Then, the diamine monomer 1,4-bis(3-amino-5-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene (II) was obtained through the catalytic reduction with hydrazine and Pd/C. These fluorinated polyimides (PI) were synthesized from the fluorinated diamine II with four kinds of dianhydrides, including pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3’,4,4’-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3’,4,4’-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and 3,3’,4,4’-benzophenonetetracarboxylicdianhydride (BTDA) respectively, via thermal imidization of poly(amic acid) (PAA). The structure and properties of these obtained fluorinated PIs were characterized. These experimental results showed that these fluorinated PI films exhibited excellent optical transmittance in the visible region and thermal resistance. The PI derived from ODPA showed the best optical transparency with the transmittance higher than 85.38 % at 450 nm. These PIs also exhibited good thermal properties with 5 wt% thermal decomposition temperature above 533 °C.

This study designed and synthesised a meta-amide-substituted dianiline monomer (m-DABA) as a stereoisomer of DABA, a previously investigated para-amide-substituted dianiline monomer. This new monomer was polymerised with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) to prepare a polyimide film (m-DABPI) in a process similar to that employed in a previous study. The relationship between the substitution positions on the monomer and the gas barrier properties of the polyimide film was investigated via molecular simulation, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD), and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) to gain deeper insights into the gas barrier mechanism. The results showed that compared with the para-substituted DABPI, the m-DABPI exhibited better gas barrier properties, with a water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) as low as 2.8 g·m−2·d−1 and 3.3 cm3·m−2·d−1, respectively. This was because the meta-linked polyimide molecular chains were more tightly packed, leading to a smaller free volume and lower molecular chain mobility. These properties are not conducive to the permeation of small molecules into the film; thus, the gas barrier properties were improved. The findings have significant implications for the structural design of high-barrier materials and could promote the development of flexible display technology.

AbstractNanocomposite films of polymethylmethacrylate PMMA with Sn0.75Fe0.25S2 nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated by both thermolysis and casting techniques. Changes in PMMA/Sn0.75Fe0.25S2 nanocomposite (NCP) due to gamma irradiation have been measured. XRD results indicate that the gamma doses of 10–80 kGy cause intermolecular crosslinking that reduces the ordered portion in the NPs. Bonding between the NPs and the host PMMA was confirmed by FTIR. TGA results indicate an enhancement in thermal stability in the NCP films irradiated with doses 20–80 kGy. The optical band gap was reduced from 3.23 to 2.47 eV upon gamma irradiation up to 80 kGy due bonding between the NPs and PMMA which enhanced the amorphous part of the NPs. Finally, the color variation between the blank and irradiated films (ΔE) was determined. Color changes immensely when the PMMA/Sn0.75Fe0.25S2 NCP films are gamma irradiated. Values of ΔE were as much as 31.6 which is an acceptable match in commercial reproduction on printing presses.

AbstractA series of guanidinium chloride derivatives have been synthesized by condensation of 1,3-diaminoguanidine monohydrochloride with heteroaromatic formaldehydes in good yields. All compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonances and infrared spectroscopies, and the molecular structures of four compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The optical properties of these guanidinium chloride derivatives with fluoride anions were investigated, showing selective color changes from colorless to yellow or orange, red-shifted in the ultraviolet/visible absorption spectra.

We propose and demonstrate a temperature and humidity sensor based on a fluorinated polyimide film and fiber Bragg grating. Moisture-induced film expansion or contraction causes an extra strain, which is transferred to the fiber Bragg grating and leads to a humidity-dependent wavelength shift. The hydrophobic fluoride doping in the polyimide film helps to restrain its humidity hysteresis and provides a short moisture breathing time less than 2 min. Additionally, another cascaded fiber Bragg grating is used to exclude its thermal crosstalk, with a temperature accuracy of ±0.5 °C. Experimental monitoring over 9000 min revealed a considerable humidity accuracy better than ±3% relative humidity, due to the sensitized separate film-grating structure. The passive and electromagnetic immune sensor proved itself in field tests and could have sensing applications in the electro-sensitive storage of fuel, explosives, and chemicals.

A series of linear aromatic copolyimides (Co-PIs) were synthesized by reacting 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride (BPA) with various molar contents of 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (TFB) and p-xylylenediamine (p-XDA) in N,N′-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Co-PI films were fabricated by solution casting and thermal imidization with poly(amic acid) (PAA) on glass plates. The thermo-optical properties and gas permeabilities of Co-PI films composed of various molar ratios of p-XDA (0.2–1.0 relative to BPA) were investigated. Thermal properties were observed to deteriorate with increasing p-XDA concentration. However, oxygen-transmission rates (O2TRs) and optical transparencies improved with increasing p-XDA concentration. Co-PI hybrids with a 1:0.2:0.8 molar ratio of BPA:TFB:p-XDA and organically modified hectorite (STN) were prepared by the in situ intercalation method. The morphologies and the thermo-optical and gas permeation properties of the hybrids were examined as functions of STN loading (5–50 wt %). XRD and TEM revealed substantial increases in clay particle agglomeration in the Co-PI hybrid films as the clay loading was increased from 5 to 50 wt %. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the O2TR of a Co-PI hybrid film were observed to improve with increasing STN concentration; however, its optical transparency decreased gradually with increasing STN concentration.

The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles are highly sensitive to interparticle distance, giving rise to dramatic but frequently irreversible color changes. By electrochemical modification of individual nanoparticles and nanoparticle pairs, we induced equally dramatic, yet reversible, changes in their optical properties. We achieved plasmon tuning by oxidation-reduction chemistry of Ag-AgCl shells on the surfaces of both individual and strongly coupled Au nanoparticle pairs, resulting in extreme but reversible changes in scattering line shape. We demonstrated reversible formation of the charge transfer plasmon mode by switching between capacitive and conductive electronic coupling mechanisms. Dynamic single-particle spectroelectrochemistry also gave an insight into the reaction kinetics and evolution of the charge transfer plasmon mode in an electrochemically tunable structure. Our study represents a highly useful approach to the precise tuning of the morphology of narrow interparticle gaps and will be of value for controlling and activating a range of properties such as extreme plasmon modulation, nanoscopic plasmon switching, and subnanometer tunable gap applications.
