Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–gold/silver nanoparticle composite films were synthetized in situ by using a simple method, which is based on the reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) or silver nitrate solution (AgNO3) by the PDMS membrane. A method to monitor the development of the plasmonic absorbance peak in situ (during the synthesis of the nanoparticles) is introduced in order to provide a convenient way to investigate the effect of the technological parameters on the position of the resulting peak. The resulting composite films were tested as SERS substrates at two excitation wavelengths (488 nm, 785 nm) and the preliminary results indicate that they are promising candidates for this application, with high sensitivities accompanied by cheap fabrication costs.

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.

Nanocomposite films containing Au nanoparticles were fabricated by alternating adsorption of poly(diallydimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) and HAuCl4 using layer-by-layer self-assembly technique and subsequent in situ electrochemical reduction of the AuCl4- ions. The composition and properties of the composite films were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV).The UV-vis characteristic absorbances of PDDA and Au increase almost linearly with the number of bilayers, which suggests a progressive deposition with almost an equal amount of the PDDA and Au in each cycle. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further confirms the presence of the main components (such as PDDA and Au) of the nanocomposite films. Furthermore, the nanocomposite films also exhibit good electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA), which may be used in electrochemical biosensors.

Polymer/TiO2 nanocomposite films have good mechanical, electrical and thermal property, which are applied to electrical engineering and microelectronic technique field extensively. Nano-TiO2 has bigger permittivity and better absorption ultraviolet. The PI/TiO2-PI-PI/TiO2 three layer composite films (30mm) with different content and interlayer thickness were prepared via in-situ dispersion polymerization in this paper. And the films with A (5mm), B (10mm) and C (15mm) interlayer PI thickness are divided into three different series. The results show that inorganic TiO2 nanoparticles are well dispersed in the polymer matrices. And the structures of three layers are obvious. The doped nanoparticles don’t affect the imidization of PI matrix in composite films. The time-to-breakdown of all series films increases with the TiO2 content increasing, in which the B series films possess the best performance. Besides, the B series films with 4% doping content are tested with the longest time-to-breakdown, which is three times more than that of pure PI. After corona aging, there are lots of TiO2-particles with the ability of absorbing UV accumulated on the surface of films, playing the role in shielding electric field, which is one factor resulting in improvement of corona-resistance in the composite films.

Polyimide-based (PI) nanocomposites possess excellent electrical and thermal performance, widely used in inverter motor. In the paper using different particle sizes made polyimide/titania (PI/TiO2) nanocomposite films in situ polymerization, including 20nm A series and 50nm B series. The results shows that A series have a larger specific surface, combination of the film and matrix is closer without affecting the imidization of PI, and there is a clear interface layer and the structure is more stable. According to the time of corona-resistant A Series films is significantly longer than B Series films, especially the A series films with 15% of which corona-resistant time is 15h, five times than the pure PI. By both SAXS and XRD particle size in the matrix can be calculated, proving small particles can be better combination of the matrix of PI, increasing the number of traps, more effectively cutting off charge corrosion and making corona resistance greater performance.

In this paper, a direct and simple method to characterize the elastic modulus of individual layers for composite films byin situmeasuring of MEMS test structures is presented. The structure is composed of a set of microactuators which contains a rigid plate with two supporting composite beams. A model is developed to describe analytically the relationship between the force and the deflection of microactuators by electrostatic measurements, and the elastic modulus of multi-layered beams with different widths are evaluated. FEM simulations are implemented to validate the accuracy of the relationship between the on-load voltage and the capacitance between the microactuator and the electrode on the substrate. Test structures are fabricated using CMOS-MEMS process and experiments are to be carried out soon.
