AbstractA new method of making conductive composite films by permeation of the conducting guest species into the host is reported. A layer of poly(3-n-dodecyl thiophene) (P3ddt) is embedded at the surface of polyimide by permeation of the monomer or polymer (in solution in tetrahydrofuran or chloroform) into a solution of polyamic acid in n-methyl pyrrolidinone or dimethyl acetamide. The resulting composites were imidised and polymerized (if necessary). Chemical imidisation yielded composite -films that retained the conducting polymer even when the composite was subjected to solvent extraction. The films were conductive upon doping with iodine and recovered conductivity when they were exposed to iodine vapor subsequent to thermal de-doping. Thermogravimetry showed that the amount of thiophene incorporated into the polyimide was higher for permeation of the polymer than that of the monomer; however, the amount of p3ddt incorporated by the latter method was still higher than the amount that could be incorporated by blending polyamic acid with p3ddt. The levels of conductivity and speed of recovery for doped films were also higher for the permeated films. Results of scanning electron microscopy suggested that the higher mobility afforded by contact in the liquid state have contributed greater entanglement between the constituents leading to higher thermal and solvent resistance of the conducting constituent. The permeation method could be adopted to form composite films in solvent systems that are not completely miscible.

The laponite-poly (L-lactide) composite films are prepared by the method of solution blending with polylactide (PLA) and laponite. The result shows that the homogeneous and smooth composite film is prepared with 1, 4-dioxane. Thermogravimetry analysis (TG) and tensile strength studies demonstrate that the thermal stability and tensile strength are improved with the laponite added. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurement indicates that the pores of composite films get uniform and network structure is more and more compact with compared to pure PLA film. The present study reveals that the laponite as a complexing agent can improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of PLA.

Well known long-persistent phosphorous strontium aluminates were synthesized by conventional combustion method in a furnace at about 600oC. By incorporating the obtained phosphorous strontium aluminates into organic host polystyrene, we prepared the organic-inorganic composite material (i.e., phosphor-polystyrene) which could be cast into flexible and green-light- emitting films. The morphology of the obtained phosphorous strontium aluminates and the phosphorescence of the organic-inorganic composite films were characterized with the scanning electron microscopy and the fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively. Our results show that the organic-inorganic composite films can be used as green-light- emitting roll-able screens in the industry of information displays.

Abstract In the present study, a combined use of photonic microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and 3D X-ray tomography is carried out in order to analyze the dispersion and the distribution of raw and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-intercalated kaolinite used as filler in cassava starch-based films. It is shown that the association of these techniques allows a valuable analysis of clay dispersion in polymer-clay composite films. In the case of kaolinite-starch composite films on which this study is focused, it is obvious that previous intercalation of kaolinite with DMSO is an efficient way to improve dispersion and distribution of kaolinite in a starch polymer matrix.

AbstractNanofibrous dressings serve as an impeccable candidate in the management of wounds. Nanofibrous composites composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and green tea using dual solvent systems at different ratios were fabricated through electrospinning. Pure PCL electrospun fibers along with composites were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wettability, water uptake analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM indicated that fibrous morphology and the diameter of PCL/green tea were smaller for chloroform/dimethylformamide (DMF) (601 nm) and acetone/DMF (896 nm) than the pure PCL (673 nm and 1,104 nm for chloroform/DMF and acetone/DMF, respectively). Wettability of the fabricated composites was increased, and pure PCL fibers were slightly more hydrophobic (100°) than PCL/green tea (94°). Water uptake of the composites was enhanced compared with PCL significantly in acetone/DMF. The PCL/green tea nanofibrous wound dressing with enhanced physicochemical properties serves as an indispensable candidate for wound healing applications.

The purpose of this study is to improve the performance properties of K-carrageenan (K-CRG) by utilizing nanosilica (NSI) as the reinforcing agent. The composite films were prepared by solution casting method. NSI was added up to 1.5% in the K-CRG matrix. The prepared films were characterized for mechanical (tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis), barrier (water vapour transmission rate), morphological (scanning electron microscopy), contact angle, and crystallinity properties. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, and crystallinity were found to have increased by 13.8, 15, and 48% whereas water vapour transmission rate was found to have decreased by 48% for 0.5% NSI loaded K-CRG composite films. NSI was found to have formed aggregates for concentrations above 0.5% as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Melting temperature, enthalpy of melting, and degradation temperature of K-CRG increased with increase in concentration of NSI in K-CRG. Contact angle also increased with increase in concentration of NSI in K-CRG, indicating the decrease in hydrophilicity of the films improving its water resistance properties. This knowledge of the composite film could make beneficial contributions to the food and pharmaceutical packaging applications.

We prepared the polyaniline@polypyrrole (PAn@PPy) conductive composite by a novel method. The struction like Pre-prepared PAn as the core and PPy as the shell for the composite has been prepared by in-situ polymerization. The PAn@PPy conductive composite presents an electrical conductivity of 12.5 S/cm, which is much higher than pure PAn. The synthesized polymer composites are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results indicated that PPy successfully grafted on PAn and the heat resistance of nanocomposite is remarkably increased.

In this work, alginate (AG)/chitosan (CS)/lovastatine (LS) AG/CS/PCL/LS composite films using polycaprolactone (PCL)  are prepared by solution method with the ratio of AG/CS and LS content fixed at 4/1 and 10 wt.% (in comparison with the total weight of CS and AG), respectively.  The PCL content is used at 3, 5 and 10 wt.% (in compared with total weight of AG, CS and LS). The role of PCL as a compatibilizer in AG)/CS)/LS composites is considered by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) methods. Based on the change in FTIR spectra, morphology and thermal parameters of AG/CS/PCL/LS composites, it can be seen that PCL has effectiveness of compatibility for AG, CS, and LS as well as plasticity for the composites. Besides, the influence of PCL content on the swelling degree of the composites is also investigated.

Abstract The effect of using four plasticizers namely ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol and sorbitol on mechanical and water barrier properties of transglutaminase cross-linked zein–oleic acid composite films was investigated. Results revealed that both mechanical and water barrier properties of the films were significantly affected (p<0.05) by plasticizer type. Tensile strength (TS), water vapour permeability (WVP) and solubility (SB) values were all better in ethylene glycol control plasticized films compared to other plasticizers. Furthermore, irrespective of plasticizer type, transglutaminase treatment improved TS while when oleic acid was incorporated into the films in the range of 1–4% based on zein weight, the mechanical and water barrier properties of the composite film were diversely affected. Results from scanning electron microscopy for the 2% oleic acid-incorporated composite films revealed a rough and irregular surface morphology for the sorbitol plasticized films. Overall, ethylene glycol provided better mechanical and water barrier properties.
