Tio2 Nanopowder

This paper discussed on the structural properties of the PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposite films prepared using sonication-solution casting method. The structural properties of the nanocomposite films were compared by mixing the self-prepared TiO2 (~12 nm) and the commercially available TiO2 (25 nm) in the PMMA. The well dispersion of self-prepared TiO2 nanopowder was observed in the FESEM micrograph. XRD results show that the self-prepared TiO2 nanopowder decrease the crystallinity of the nanocomposite. Further, FTIR reveals that the interaction between the PMMA and TiO2 nanoparticles were detected.

In this present work, chitosan (CS) crosslink with polyaniline (PANI) with montmorilonite (MMT) called as (CSPANI/MMT) and CS crosslink with PANI without MMT called as (CS-PANI) were prepared by employing the solution casting method. Further the formation of nanocomposites CS-PANI/MMT and CS-PANI were investigated using XRD, FTIR, SEM and tensile strength. Water uptake and swelling ratio of the CS-PANI and CS-PANI/MMT were found to decrease with increase in concentration of clay. Mechanical properties of the CS-PANI and CS-PANI/MMT were assessed in terms of tensile strength and extensibility using texture analyzer. Increase in tensile strength and reduction in extensibility was reported with increase in the nanoclay content. In vitro drug release study on CS-PANI and CS-PANI/MMT indicated pronounced sustained release of doxorubicin by the incorporation of clay particles in the CS polymer matrix. Overall CSPANI/MMT nanocomposite films exhibited improved mechanical and sustained drug release properties than CS-PANI.

Stereocomplexation is one of several approaches for improving polylactide (PLA) properties. The high molecular weight of poly L-lactide (PLLA) and poly D-lactide (PDLA) homopolymers are a constraint during the formation of stereocomplex PLAs (s-PLAs). The presence of s-PLA particles in PLA PLLA/PDLA blends can initiate the formation of s-PLA crystalline structures. We used the solution casting method to study the utilization of s-PLA materials from high molecular weight PLLA/PDLA blends for increasing s-PLA formation. The s-PLA particles initiated the formation of high molecular weight PLLA/PDLA blends, obtaining 49.13% s-PLA and 44.34% of the total crystalline fraction. In addition, the mechanical properties were enhanced through s-PLA crystalline formation and the increasing of total crystallinity of the PLLA/PDLA blends. The s-PLA particles supported initiation for s-PLA formation and acted as a nucleating agent for PLA homopolymers. These unique characteristics of s-PLA particles show potential to overcome the molecular weight limitation for stereocomplexation of PLLA/PDLA blends.

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.

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.

AbstractBoron nitride (BN) coated with sulfonated poly-arylene ether nitrile (SPEN) (BN@SPEN) was used as additive to enhance the thermal conductivity of polyarylene ether nitrile. BN@SPEN was prepared by coating BN micro-platelets with SPEN through ultrasonic technology combined with the post-treatment bonding process. The prepared BN@SPEN was characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM and TEM, which confirmed the successful coating of BN micro-platelets. The obtained BN@SPEN was introduced into the PEN matrix to prepare composite films by a solution casting method. The compatibility between BN and PEN matrix was studied by using SEM observation and rheology measurement. Furthermore, thermal conductivity of BN@SPEN/PEN films were carefully characterized. Thermal conductivity of BN@SPEN/PEN films was increased to 0.69 W/(m⋅K) at 20 wt% content of BN@SPEN, having 138% increment comparing with pure PEN.
