Conducting polymers are excellent host materials for nanoparticles of metals and semiconductors. PANI-Ag-Co nanocomposite was prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of nitric acid. PANI-Ag-Co thin films were deposited on the glass substrate using spin-coating technique. The films were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, AFM and TEM to analyze the internal structure and surface morphology. The performance of the sensor was conducted using I–V measurement to obtain the changes in the current before and after the incubation with E. coli bacteria in water. In UV-visible absorbance bands, a single peak appears at 421.6 nm in each band indicating the Ag-Co alloy nanoparticles were formed. The peaks in the XRD patterns show the crystals are oriented along (111) planes for Ag while (200) plane for Co. AFM images indicate the surface roughness of the PANI-Ag-Co films decreases when the concentration of Co increased. TEM image shows spherical shaped of Ag-Co alloy particles with diameter in the range of 6 – 10 nm. I–V measurements show that the current change of the films increased when incubated in E. coli. The sensitivity on E. coli increases as we increase the Co concentration. PANI-Ag-Co nanocomposite thin films can be explored further for microbial sensor application in future study.

Nanocomposite Thin Films

PANI-Ag-Fe nanocomposite thin films based electrochemicalE. colisensor was developed with thermal annealing. PANI-Ag-Fe nanocomposite thin films were prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline and the reduction process of Ag-Fe bimetallic compound with the presence of nitric acid and PVA. The films were deposited on glass substrate using spin-coating technique before they were annealed at 300°C. The films were characterized using XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and FESEM to study the structural and morphological properties. The electrochemical sensor performance was conducted usingI-Vmeasurement electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The sensitivity upon the presence ofE. coliwas measured in clean water andE. colisolution. From XRD analysis, the crystallite sizes were found to become larger for the samples after annealing. UV-Vis absorption bands for samples before and after annealing show maximum absorbance peaks at around 422 nm–424 nm and 426 nm–464 nm, respectively. FESEM images show the diameter size for nanospherical Ag-Fe alloy particles increases after annealing. The sensor performance of PANI-Ag-Fe nanocomposite thin films uponE. colicells in liquid medium indicates the sensitivity increases after annealing.

PANI-Ag-Cu nanocomposite thin films were prepared by sol-gel method and deposited on the glass substrate using spin coating technique. Polyaniline was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of nitric acid. The films were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The performance of the sensor was conducted using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to obtain the change in impedance of the sensor film before and after incubation withE. colibacteria in water. The peaks in XRD pattern confirm the presence of Ag and Cu nanoparticles in face-centered cubic structure. FTIR analysis shows the stretching of N–H in the polyaniline structure. The absorption band from UV-Visible spectroscopy shows high peaks between 400 nm and 500 nm which indicate the presence of Ag and Cu nanoparticles, respectively. Impedance analysis indicates that the change in impedance of the films decreases with the presence ofE. coli. The sensitivity onE. coliincreases for the sample with high concentration of Cu.

Pure and Fe-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) sol–gel thin films were deposited by spin-coating process. Pure ZnO and Fe–ZnO films, containing Fe of 2–8[Formula: see text]wt.%, were annealed at 500∘C for 2[Formula: see text]h. All prepared thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy. XRD studies show the polycrystalline nature with hexagonal wurtzite structure of pure ZnO and Fe–ZnO thin films. The crystallite size of the prepared samples reduced with increasing Fe doping concentrations. AFM and SEM results indicated that the average grain size decreased as Fe doping concentration increased. The transmittance spectra were then recorded at wavelengths ranging from 300[Formula: see text]nm to 1000[Formula: see text]nm. The films produced yielded high transmission at visible regions. The optical bandgap energy of spin-coated films also decreased as Fe doping concentration increased. In particular, their optical bandgap energies were 3.75, 3.6, 3.5, 3.45 and 3.3 eV at 0-, 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-wt.% Fe concentrations, respectively. Antibacterial activities of pure ZnO and Fe–ZnO against E. coli and S. aureus were evaluated by international recognized test (JIS Z 2801). The results showed that pure and Fe-doped ZnO thin films have antibacterial inhibition zone against E. coli and S. aureus. Gram-positive bacteria seemed be more resistant to pure and Fe-doped ZnO thin films than gram-negative bacteria. The test shows an incremental increase in antibacterial activity of the thin films when dopant ratio increased under UV light.

The development of new fabrication techniques of plasmonic nanocomposites with specific properties is an ongoing issue in the plasmonic and nanophotonics community. In this paper we report detailed investigations on the modifications of the microstructural and plasmonic properties of metal–titania nanocomposite films induced by swift heavy ions. Au–TiO2 and Ag–TiO2 nanocomposite thin films with varying metal volume fractions were deposited by co-sputtering and were subsequently irradiated by 100 MeV Ag8+ ions at various ion fluences. The morphology of these nanocomposite thin films before and after ion beam irradiation has been investigated in detail by transmission electron microscopy studies, which showed interesting changes in the titania matrix. Additionally, interesting modifications in the plasmonic absorption behavior for both Au–TiO2 and Ag–TiO2 nanocomposites were observed, which have been discussed in terms of ion beam induced growth of nanoparticles and structural modifications in the titania matrix.

Composite polymer consisting polyaniline (PANI) and zinc oxide (ZnO) were synthesized via oxidative polymerization of aniline. The composite PANI thin films were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and their optical properties towards hydrogen gas were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy. The FTIR spectra obtained verified the synthesis PANI/ZnO composite. From the experimental results, it was found that with increasing zinc oxide content in the composite cause the transmittance to decrease. The transmittance of the thin films slightly increased after exposed to hydrogen gas. PANI-ZnO (10%w.t.) exhibited best response compared to other composition with the highest transmittance peak difference of 11.4%.
