Conducting nylon 6 fibers were prepared by in situ polymerization of aniline on to the fiber surface, after providing a chemical etching treatment to the fibers using chromic acid. The properties of the etched and polyaniline (PANI) coated fibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. Though the etching process caused a marginal decline in the mechanical properties of the fiber, it provided a reasonably rough surface for PANI adhesion and enhanced the conductivity of the fiber. The conductivity increased from 4.22 × 10−2 to 3.72 × 10−1 S/cm at an etching time of 4 h.

The PANI/ITO conducting nanocomposites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Electrical conductivity measurements on the samples pressed into pellets showed that the maximum conductivity attained 2.0 ± 0.05 S/cm for PANI/ITO nanocomposites, at ITO doping concentration of 10 wt%. The results of the present work may provide a simple, rapid and efficient approach for preparing PANI/ITO nanocomposites.

The reaction of the bulk glass forming alloy Zr41Ti14Cu12Ni10Be23 (Vit 1) with W, Ta, Mo, AlN, Al2O3, Si, graphite, and amorphous carbon was investigated. Vit 1 samples were melted and subsequently solidified after different processing times on discs of the different materials. Sessile drop examinations of the macroscopic wetting of Vit 1 on the discs as a function of temperature were carried out in situ with a digital optical camera. The reactions at the interfaces between the Vit 1 sample and the different disc materials were investigated with an electron microprobe. The structure and thermal stability of the processed Vit 1 samples were examined by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results are discussed in terms of possible applications for composite materials.

Nanocomposites of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared by in situ polymerization at low LDHs loadings in this work. The resultants were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). FTIR showed that the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites were prepared successfully by in situ polymerization and XRD spectra showed that the crystal structure did not change greatly in the presence of LDHS. DSC results confirmed that LDHs could act as nucleating agents. UV-vis spectra showed that LDHs had stronger absorbance peak than LDH. Moreover, the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites had strong anti-ultraviolet effect by introduction of LDHs into polymer matrix.

PA6/LiCl composites were synthesized by in situ anionic polymerization based on the interaction between the inorganic salts and PA6. Sodium hydroxide as initiator and N-acetylcaprolactam as activator were used in the preparation of PA6/LiCl composites with variety of LiCl content. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) testing results showed that both of degree of crystallinity and melting temperature of the composites were decreased under the influence of LiCl. And theγcrystal phase proportion increased with increasing the LiCl content to appropriate amount.

Polyaniline Composites

We investigated the changes in the conformation and crystalline structure of polypropylene (PP) using a combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) based on PP/chlorinated PP (CPP)/polyaniline (PANI) composites. The DSC heating thermograms and WAXD patterns of the PP/CPP/PANI composites showed that theβ-crystal was affected greatly by the CPP content. Characterization of the specific regularity in the infrared band variation showed that the conformational orders of the helical sequences in PP exhibited major changes that depended on the CPP content. Initially, the intensity ratio ofA840/A810increased with the CPP concentration and reached its maximum level when the CPP content was <13.22% before decreasing as the CPP content increased further. The effect of increased temperature on the conformation of PP was studied by in situ FTIR. Initially, the intensity ratio ofA999/A973decreased slowly with increasing the temperature up to 105°C before decreasing sharply with further increases in temperature and then decreasing slowly again when the temperature was higher than 128°C.

Here we demonstrate the synthesis of a new type of layered poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy- thiophene) (PEDOT)/MoS2 nanocomposite via flocculation of delaminated MoS2 with subsequent in situ oxidative polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene. The resulting nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and four-probe electrical conductivity measurements with respect to temperature. X-ray diffraction results indicated that the exfoliated MoS2 and PEDOT are restacked to produce a novel nanoscale composite material containing alternate nanoribbons of PEDOT in between MoS2 with a basal distance of ∼1.38 nm. The nanocomposite, which could be used as a cathode material for small power rechargeable lithium batteries, has also been demonstrated by the electrochemical insertion of lithium into the PEDOT/MoS2 nanocomposite, where a significant enhancement in the discharge capacity is observed, compared to that of respective pristine molybdenum disulfide.

In this paper, a novel flame retarded MCA-PA6 (PA6 incorporated with melamine cyanurate) resin was synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The synthetic product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), thermogravimetry analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and elemental analysis. The result showed that good dispersability were obtained in MCA-based PA6 prepared successfully. Meanwhile, the maximum mass loss rate appeared at about 450 °C and the residual char increased from 1.2 wt% to 3.2 wt% at 500 °C due to the existence of MCA.This research revealed MCA-PA6 owned a good thermal stability, hence there was potential flame retardance.

This work reports synthesize of polypyrrole nano powder by chemical in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solution and ammonium persulfate solution which acts as oxidant. It is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD spectrum reveals that the materials are amorphous in nature. FTIR analysis confirms that all peaks are the main characteristic of PPy. SEM analysis showed that the powder has a uniform granular morphology and the size varies from ∼500 nm to 1 μm. The micrograph of polypyrrole reveals the presence of globular particles. The formed particles are irregular in nature. The results show that the fibers are chemically formed as spherical nanostructures.
