Abstract In this report, PEDOT composite films were prepared by in situ electrochemical polymerization. 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazole bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMI-TFSI) was used as an ionic liquid dopant for PEDOT:PSS films. Subsequently, these PEDOT:PSS/EMI-TFSI films were compared with PEDOT:PSS films based on their morphology, structure, electrochromic properties, and optical properties at different deposition voltages and deposition times. It was observed that the addition of EMI-TFSI enhanced all the aforementioned properties of the films. PEDOT:PSS/EMI-TFSI films were seen to have a larger ion diffusion coefficient (1.38 × 10−20 cm2·s−1), a wider color change range (43.48%), a shorter response time (coloring response time = 1.2 s; fade response time = 2 s), and a higher coloring efficiency (189.86 cm2·C−1) when compared with normal PEDOT:PSS films. The introduction of EMI-TFSI in the films ultimately resulted in superior electrochemical and optical properties along with higher stability.

Double Hydroxides

The high capacity of calcinated layered double hydroxides (LDH) to immobilize various active molecules together with their inherent gas/vapor impermeability make these nanoparticles highly promising to be applied as nanofillers for biodegradable polyester packaging. Herein, trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium decanoate ionic liquid (IL) was immobilized on the surface of calcinated LDH. Thus, the synthesized nanoparticles were used for the preparation of polycaprolactone (PCL)/LDH nanocomposites. Two different methods of nanocomposite preparation were used and compared: microwave-assisted in situ ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (εCL) and melt-blending. The in situ ROP of εCL in the presence of LDH nanoparticles with the immobilized IL led to homogenous nanofiller dispersion in the PCL matrix promoting formation of large PCL crystallites, which resulted in the improved mechanical, thermal and gas/water vapor barrier properties of the final nanocomposite. The surface-bonded IL thus acted as nanofiller surfactant, compatibilizer, as well as thermal stabilizer of the PCL/LDH nanocomposites. Contrary to that, the melt-blending caused a partial degradation of the immobilized IL and led to the production of PCL nanocomposites with a heterogenous nanofiller dispersion having inferior mechanical and gas/water vapor barrier properties.

In this study, we report on a successful preparation nanocomposites poly (o-toluidine) (POT) doping with dodecylbenzene sulfonate acid (DBSA)/ ZnO by in-situ polymerization of (o-toluidine) monomer using ZnO nanoparticles (the weight ratios OT/ZnO: 1/5%, 1/10%, 1/15%). The composite films have been prepared by using the casting method on different substrate depending on the type of measurement. The surface morphology properties of the prepared samples were studied by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results of FESEM indicate that ZnO nanoparticles were successfully embedded in the POT via chemical interactions between ZnO and (O-toluidine) monomer and the EDX spectrum showed the presence of element Zn in POT-DBSA/ZnO composites. The crystal structure was measured by x-ray directional and its pattern revealed the presence of ZnO in dopant polymer, in the diffraction patterns of POT-DBSA. The intensity of the peaks was increased as the amount of ZnO nanoparticles increased in POT-DBSA. The typical rectifying behaviour indicated that the formation of a diode observes by the I–V characterization of POT-DBSA/ZnO composites at thin film layer with top Al thin layer contact.

A functional potassium sodium niobate/polyimide (KNN/PI) composite films were prepared in this paper. KNN fillers are well dispersed in the PI matrix without any accumulation through in situ polymerization process. The optical band baps of the hybrid films become smaller with the increase of KNN loading. The optical band baps of the films with 0-20 wt% KNN filler are estimated to be 2.61 eV, 2.57 eV, 2.52 eV, 4.29 eV, 2.35 eV respectively.

Abstract Polyimide/polyaniline nanofiber composites were prepared by in situ polymerization with various weight percentages of polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), proved the successful preparation of PANI nanofiber composite films. In addition, thermal stability of PI/PANI nanofiber composites was superior relative to PI, having 10 % gravimetric loss in the range of 623 °C to 671 °C and glass transition temperature of 289 °C to 297 °C. Furthermore, the values of the loss tangent tanδ and AC conductivity σAC of the nanocomposite films were notably higher than those of pure polyimide. The addition of 5 wt.% to 15 wt.% PANI nanofiber filler enhanced the activation energy of PI composites from 0.37 eV to 0.34 eV.
