Hybrid organic-inorganic materials were fabricated using sol-gel technique using poly(methyl methacrylate) and methacrylic acid 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl ester (MAMSE) with 90/10, 80/20 and 70/30 (%w/w) ratios with tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent. The thin films were then characterized using FTIR spectra, SEM, DSC and TGA thermograms. From the preliminary characterization, the hybrid material was found to have nano and ultra scale tight pore ranges. FT-IR spectroscopy uncovered all the signature peaks characteristic of silicate structures in the near-surface regions. Fingerprints of Si-O-Si groups in cyclic and linear molecular substructures are present. The SEM image clearly shows that hybrid materials have homogenous and smooth surface. DSC analysis of the material shows interesting phenomenon regarding glass transition temperature (Tg). The hybrid material was found to have higher Tg than pure PMMA. From TGA analysis, the hybrid materials were observed to have higher thermal stability than pure PMMA.

Permeable reactive barriers were developed for phosphorus removal. The barrier consists in an organic-inorganic hybrid material, which allows water and others species to flow through it, while selectively removes the contaminants. Polyethylene oxide (POE) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) were used as the organic and the inorganic parts, respectively. The hybrid material was obtained by sol-gel reaction, using aluminium isopropoxide as inorganic percursor in order to attain Al2O3. The hybrid material produced was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The previous tests for phosphorus removal have shown the effectiveness capacity of the developed material to remove it.

The interface of a Pt filament pyrolysis control unit and a rapid-scan FT-IR spectrometer is described that enables the thermal decomposition of a thin film of material to be studied isothermally after heating at 2000°C/s. A model of the heat transfer of the Pt filament as a function of gas atmosphere and pressure is developed to help understand the instrument response. The control voltage of the Pt filament is highly sensitive to the thermochemistry of the thin film of sample. By simultaneously recording the control voltage and the rapid-scan IR spectra of the near-surface gas products, one learns considerable detail about chemical mechanisms relevant to combustion of a bulk material. The application of T-jump/FT-IR spectroscopy is illustrated with rapid thermolysis data for the energetic organoazide polymers azidomethyl-methyloxetane (AMMO), bis(azidomethyl)oxetane (BAMO), and glycidylazide polymer (GAP); the cyclic nitramine, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacine (HMX); and the nitroaromatic 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB).

Combustion and sol-gel methods were used to prepare the upconverting nanocrystallineZrO2:Yb3+,Er3+phosphors. The crystal structure was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the crystallite sizes were estimated with the Scherrer formula. Impurities and nanomaterials' thermal degradation were analyzed with FT-IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis, respectively. Upconversion luminescence and luminescence decays were studied with IR-laser excitation at 977 nm. All nanomaterials possessed the cubicZrO2fluorite-type structure except for a small monoclinic impurity obtained with the sol-gel method. The conventionalNO3−andOH−impurities were observed for the combustion synthesis products. TheZrO2:Yb3,Er3+nanomaterials showed red (630–710 nm) and green (510–570 nm) upconversion luminescence due to the4F9/2→4I15/2and(2H11/2,4S3/2)→4I15/2transitions ofEr3+, respectively. The products of the combustion synthesis exhibited the most intense luminescence intensity and showed considerable afterglow. It was concluded that excitation energy is partially trapped in the system and subsequently bleached thermally to the luminescentEr3+center to yield “persistent upconversion”.

ABSTRACTImprinting is a well-established technique to induce recognition features in both organic and inorganic materials for a variety of target analytes. In this study, ion imprinted polysiloxanes with varying percentage of coupling agent i.e. 3-chloro propyl trimethoxy silane (CPTM) were synthesized by sol-gel method for imprinting of Cr3+. The imprinting of Cr3+ in cross-linked siloxane network was investigated by FT-IR which indicates the metal ion is coordinated with oxygen atoms of polysiloxanes. SEM images revealed that imprinted polysiloxanes possess uniform particles of submicron size. It was experienced that by increasing the concentration of CPTM up to 10% (v/v) substantially improves the binding capacity of polysiloxanes which allows us to recognized Cr3+ down to 50µg/L. Furthermore, the selectivity of Cr3+-imprinted polysiloxanes was evaluated by treating them with other competing metal ions of same concentration i.e. Cr6+, Pb2+ and Ni2+. In this regard, polysiloxanes showed much higher binding for imprint ion i.e. Cr3+ in comparison to above mentioned metal ions. Finally, the regenerated polysiloxanes were studied in order to reuse them thus, developing cost effective biomimetic sensor coatings.

A sol type anti-felting agent containing PPD-[Si(OH)3]2 synthesized and applied to the wool with pad-dry-cure process. The structure of the prepolymer was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and the film transparency and the fiber microstructure were proved though UV-vis analysis and WAXD. The results indicated that the coating could endow a better anti-felting effect with low curing temperature at 120°C and 3 min, the area shrinking rate from13.44% of the original fabric decrease to 2.86% of the treated samples without strength decreased and handle changed stiff seriously, which accord with the IWS Test Method 31 standard.

AbstractPolymer-inorganic hybrid materials composed of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and zinc compounds were prepared by sol-gel in-situ transition polymerization of zinc complex in PMMA matrix. Zinc acetate dihydrate dissolved in ethanol was used as the inorganic precursor. Monoethanolamine (MEA) acted as a complexing agent to control the hydrolysis of zinc acetate to produce a zinc compound network, and then PMMA, formed in-situ through a radical polymerization, were chemically bonded to the forming zinc compound network to realize a hybrid material. Transparent homogenous hybrid materials with slight colours from pink to yellow were fabricated by varying the composition. TEM, FT-IR were employed to investigate structural and physical properties. The UV-shielding effect was evaluated by UV-VIS. The low content of zinc (around 0.02 wt%) and the fine particle size rendered it visibly transparent and capable of greatly attenuating UV radiation in the full UV range.

We successfully composed a hybrid material that comprises organic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and inorganic silica (SiO2) through a sol–gel reaction with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The hybrid material was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The chemical results indicated there were chemical bonds between SiO2 and PVA. The handsheet testing showed that folding strength, tensile strength, tearing strength, and picking velocity were increased by 22.3%, 35%, 26%, and 26%, respectively, when the hybrid material was used at a coat weight of 61 g/m2. In addition, strength development of the hybrid increases by using an oxidized starch at a 3:1 addition ratio.

In this article, oxygen and temperature-sensing hybrid materials consisting of [Ru(Phen)3]2+ portions covalently-grafted onto the sol–gel derived ormosil network were prepared by co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) using n-octyltriethoxysilane as the network modifier. For comparison purposes, the hybrid materials in which [Ru(Phen)3]2+ were conventionally physically-incorporated into the matrix were also prepared. The obtained hybrid materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), luminescence intensity oxygen quenching Stern-Volmer plots, temperature quenching plots and excited-state lifetime. The near linear Stern-Volmer plots can be attributed to the approximate heterogeneous environment of the luminophore within the ormosil materials. The results reveal that the covalently-grafted sample is more sensitive to O2, and has a higher sensing sensitivity and a higher thermal activation energy compared to the physically-incorporated one, since these Ru(II) molecules are strongly covalently-grafted onto the Si–O network via the CH2–Si bonds and less –OH group.
