A Study on Luminescence Enhancement in Ion Irradiated TiO2/Poly(methyl methacrylate) Nanocomposites

Swift heavy ion induced modification in the optical properties of TiO2/Poly (Methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites is reported in this paper. The as prepared anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in PMMA matrix using solution casting method. These nanocomposites were then irradiated with Ag+12 (120 MeV) ion beam and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, PL and Raman spectroscopy. The PL spectra exhibited an enhanced broad emission peak in visible region (400 nm - 750 nm) while UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed an increased absorption in visible region in irradiated specimen in comparison to unirradiated sample.

Polymers are long chain giant organic molecules are assembled from many smaller molecules called monomers. The work reflects the preparation of poly methyl methacrylate thin film by solution casting method. The XRD of PMMA/ZrO2 polymer is taken to confirm the structure and nature of material. Furthermore, it is characterized by finding the ultrasonic velocity at different concentration of ZrO2 and at different temperature keeping the frequency same.

Solution Casting Method

The development of biopolymer electrolytes based on methylcellulose (MC) has been accomplished by incorporating ammonium bromide (NB) to the polymer-salt system. The biopolymer electrolytes were prepared via solution-casting method. The conductivity and permittivity characteristics of the material were studied. The biopolymer-salt complex formation have been analysed through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The conductivity of the sample was measured by EIS HIOKI. Upon addition of 20 wt.% of NB, highest conductivity of 3.25×10-4 μScm-1 was achieved at ambient temperature. The temperature dependence of the biopolymer electrolytes exhibit Arrhenius behaviour. This result had been further proven in FTIR study.

Raman Microspectrometry

The polyacrylonitrile(PAN)/poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) blend fibers were prepared by wet-spinning technique and carbonized over the temperature range of 400-1000°C in nitrogen atmosphere. After carbonization of the blend fibers, the PMMA component removed and the PAN component left in the form of carbon nanofibers. Morphology of the carbon nanofibers were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the carbonization behavior of the fibers were examined via x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman microspectrometry. The optimal condition made carbon fibers with great L/D ratio and diameter less than 200 nm. XRD and Raman spectra shows that the PAN/PMMA blend fibers treated at 600°C produced some graphite crystallite.

Aniline Polymerization

Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) zirconium(IV) phosphate (ZrP) based ionomeric membrane was prepared by a solution-casting method. Subsequently, aniline polymerization was carried out on the surface of the membrane by oxidative chemical polymerization. It was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis/differential thermogravimetry (TGA/DTA/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The membrane was also characterized by ion-exchange properties. The tip displacement investigation of the ionomeric membrane was also carried out. The outcomes demonstrated that the manufactured ionomeric membrane could produce generative strengths (tip powers), and consequently create good displacement. In this manner, the proposed ionomeric membrane was found proper for bending movement actuator that will give a successful and promising stage for smaller-scale mechanical applications.
