Data on flexibility and thermal stability of Polypyrrole-based ternary nanocomposite films.

ABSTRACT: Carbon materials, such as multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and graphene sheets (GNS), filling into polymer substrates can effectively improve performance of composite materials [1], [2]. The data presented here in this article illustrates the different impacts of GNS and MWCNT on the mechanical properties of polypyrrole (PPy)-based composites systems. PPy/GNS and PPy/MWCNT binary composites were added into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) matrix. Changing the ratio of PPy/GNS and PPy/MWCNT to PEDOT: PSS, a series of PEDOT: PSS-PPy/GNS (abbreviated as PGNS) and PEDOT: PSS-PPy/MWCNT (abbreviated as PMWCNT) ternary composites films were obtained. The synthesis process of PGNS and PMWCNT films are based on Wang et al [3].

Thermoelectric Properties of Flexible PEDOT:PSS/Polypyrrole/Paper Nanocomposite Films.

Project description:Flexible poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)/polypyrrole/paper (PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper) thermoelectric (TE) nanocomposite films were prepared by a two-step method: first, PPy/paper nanocomposite films were prepared by an in situ chemical polymerization process, and second, PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper TE composite films were fabricated by coating the as-prepared PPy/paper nanocomposite films using a dimethyl sulfoxide-doped PEDOT:PSS solution. Both the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of the PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper TE nanocomposite films were greatly enhanced from 0.06 S/cm to ~0.365 S/cm, and from 5.44 μV/K to ~16.0 μV/K at ~300 K, respectively, when compared to the PPy/paper TE nanocomposite films. The thermal conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper composite film (0.1522 Wm-1K-1 at ~300 K) was, however, only slightly higher than that of the PPy/paper composite film (0.1142 Wm-1K-1 at ~300 K). As a result, the ZT value of the PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper composite film (~1.85 × 10-5 at ~300 K) was significantly enhanced when compared to that of the PPy/paper composite film (~4.73 × 10-7 at ~300 K). The as-prepared nanocomposite films have great potential for application in flexible TE devices.

Nanocomposite Sprayed Films with Photo-Thermal Properties for Remote Bacteria Eradication.

Project description:Currently there is a strong demand for novel protective materials with efficient antibacterial properties. Nanocomposite materials loaded with photo-thermally active nanoparticles can offer promising opportunities due to the local increase of temperature upon near-infrared (NIR) light exposure capable of eradicating bacteria. In this work, we fabricated antibacterial films obtained by spraying on glass slides aqueous solutions of polymers, containing highly photo-thermally active gold nanostars (GNS) or Prussian Blue (PB) nanoparticles. Under NIR light irradiation with low intensities (0.35 W/cm2) these films demonstrated a pronounced photo-thermal effect: ?Tmax up to 26.4 °C for the GNS-containing films and ?Tmax up to 45.8 °C for the PB-containing films. In the latter case, such a local temperature increase demonstrated a remarkable effect on a Gram-negative strain (P. aeruginosa) killing (84% of dead bacteria), and a promising effect on a Gram-positive strain (S. aureus) eradication (69% of dead bacteria). The fabricated films are promising prototypes for further development of lightweight surfaces with efficient antibacterial action that can be remotely activated on demand.

Fabrication and Characterization of Polypyrrole/Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Thin Films Using Thermal Evaporation.

Project description:Polypyrrole/multiwalled carbon nanotubes composites (PPy/MWCNTs) were produced in an acidic solution utilizing an in situ oxidative polymerization method using ferric chloride as an oxidizing agent and sodium dodecyl sulfate as a soft template. Thermal evaporation was used to fabricate thin films from polypyrrole/multiwalled carbon nanotube composites. The resulting composites were examined by different techniques to explore their morphology, structural and electrical characteristics. The surface morphology analysis revealed that polypyrrole structure is a two-dimensional film with impeded nanoparticles and the thickness of coated PPy around the MWCNTs decreases when increasing the amount of MWCNTs. XRD analysis revealed that the average crystallite size of the prepared composites is 62.26 nm. The direct energy gap for PPy is affected by a factor ranging from 2.41 eV to 1.47 eV depending on the contents of MWCNTs. The thin film's optical properties were examined using experimental and TDDFT-DFT/DMOl3 simulation techniques. The optical constants and optical conductivity of the composites were calculated and correlated. The structural and optical characteristics of the simulated nanocomposites as single isolated molecules accord well with the experimental results. The nanocomposite thin films demonstrated promising results, making them a viable candidate for polymer solar cell demands. Under optimal circumstances, the constructed planar heterojunction solar cells with a 75 ± 3 nm layer of PPy/MWCNTs had a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.86%.

Acetylation improves thermal stability and transmittance in FOLED substrates based on nanocellulose films.

Project description:Bleached softwood pulp was used to prepare nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) by mechanical grinding and a high-pressure homogenization process. Acetylation improved the aspect ratio and dispersion of the NFC; however, highly acetylated NFC was not able to form a film by vacuum filtration if the NFC : acetic anhydride (AA) ratio was greater than 1 : 6. An NFC film prepared by acetylated NFC has potential as a flexible organic light-emitting device (FOLED) substrate. Acetylation improved the thermal stability and transmittance of NFC films, which were optimal at 5.43 ppm K-1 and 65%, respectively, when the ratio of NFC : AA was 1 : 3. Moreover, both the mechanical properties and flexibility of the NFC films were well maintained when the NFC : AA ratio was 1 : 3. Additionally, all NFC films prepared by acetylated NFC were smooth, flat, and uniform.

Antistaphylococcal nanocomposite films based on enzyme-nanotube conjugates.

Project description:Infection with antibiotic-resistant pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the primary causes of hospitalizations and deaths. To address this issue, we have designed antimicrobial coatings incorporating carbon nanotube-enzyme conjugates that are highly effective against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Specifically, we incorporated conjugates of carbon nanotubes with lysostaphin, a cell wall degrading enzyme, into films to impart bactericidal properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. We fabricated and characterized nanocomposites containing different conjugate formulations and enzyme loadings. These enzyme-based composites were highly efficient in killing MRSA (>99% within 2 h) without release of the enzyme into solution. Additionally, these films were reusable and stable under dry storage conditions for a month. Such enzyme-based film formulations may be used to prevent growth of pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant microorganisms on various common surfaces in hospital settings. Polymer and paint films containing such antimicrobial conjugates, in particular, could be advantageous to prevent risk of staphylococcal-specific infection and biofouling.

Fabricating high thermal conductivity rGO/polyimide nanocomposite films <i>via</i> a freeze-drying approach.

Project description:The preparation of polymeric composite materials with low filler content as well as high thermal conductivity has been an important subject for the field of polymer material research. During our recent investigation on polyimide (PI), it was found that poly(amic acid) (PAA) solution (in dimethylacetamide, DMAc) could crystallize at low temperature. When adding reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the thermal conductive fillers in the PAA solution, it was also found that the crystallization process of PAA would impel the rGO to rearrange in order and form an aligned thermal conductive network. To retain the rGO network structure, the freeze-drying technique was used to remove the solvent. Subsequently, through a thermal imidization process the final rGO/PI films containing a 3D rGO network could be obtained. The PI composite films retain good flexibility, excellent thermal stability, and exhibit excellent thermal conductivity. When the content of rGO added is 8 wt%, the thermal conductivity of the rGO/PI film can reach a high value of 2.78 W m-1 K-1, which is about 15.4 times that of neat PI and 5.5 times that of the rGO/PI composite film prepared by the conventional two-step routine with the same content of rGO.

Ternary All-Polymer Solar Cells With 8.5% Power Conversion Efficiency and Excellent Thermal Stability.

Project description:All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) composed of polymer donors and acceptors have attracted widespread attention in recent years. However, the broad and efficient photon utilization of polymer:polymer blend films remains challenging. In our previous work, we developed NOE10, a linear oligoethylene oxide (OE) side-chain modified naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based polymer acceptor which exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.1% when blended with a wide-bandgap polymer donor PBDT-TAZ. Herein, we report a ternary all-PSC strategy of incorporating a state-of-the-art narrow bandgap polymer (PTB7-Th) into the PBDT-TAZ:NOE10 binary system, which enables 8.5% PCEs within a broad ternary polymer ratio. We further demonstrate that, compared to the binary system, the improved photovoltaic performance of ternary all-PSCs benefits from the combined effect of enhanced photon absorption, more efficient charge generation, and balanced charge transport. Meanwhile, similar to the binary system, the ternary all-PSC also shows excellent thermal stability, maintaining 98% initial PCE after aging for 300 h at 65°C. This work demonstrates that the introduction of a narrow-bandgap polymer as a third photoactive component into ternary all-PSCs is an effective strategy to realize highly efficient and stable all-PSCs.

Antibiofilm and antimicrobial efficacy evaluation of polypyrrole nanotubes embedded in aminated gum acacia based nanocomposite.

Project description:The sustainable development of natural polysaccharide-based hybrid composites is highly important for the effective replacement of metal nanoparticles in diverse applications. Here, polypyrrole nanotubes (PPyNTs) were embedded on the surface of aminated gum acacia (AGA) to produce ecofriendly nanocomposites for biomedical applications. The morphology of a PPyNT-enhanced AGA (PPyNT@AGA) hybrid nanocomposite was studied by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and their affirmed interactions were characterised by X-ray diffraction, Raman, Fourier transform-infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy. Interestingly, the prepared PPyNT@AGA nanocomposite exhibited 90% biofilm inhibition against gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae and fungal strain Candida albicans with promising antimicrobial performance. This study establishes the good inhibition of a PPyNT@AGA hybrid composite against various microorganisms. The stability of the nanocomposite coupled with antimicrobial activity enables an effective strategy for diagnosing and controlling pathogens.

Ecofriendly Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films with Improved Photo-Oxidative Resistance.

Project description:The interest towards high performance biopolymer-based materials increases continuously and, to guarantee appropriately industrial applications, the photo-oxidative resistance and stability of these materials must be adequately addressed. In this study, innovative biopolymer-based nanocomposites, i.e., Polyamide 11 (PA11), containing ad-hoc modified Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH), were successfully formulated and characterized. Particularly, LDH were considered carriers for hindered amine light stabilizing molecules, so two different hindered amine moieties (HALS1 and HALS2) were anchored on LDH layered internal structures and/or outer surfaces. The presence of HALS1 and HALS2 in LDH were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Then, the novel LDH-HALS nanofillers (here named LDH-HALS1 and LDH-HALS2) were introduced into a PA11 matrix by melt mixing at 5 wt.%; the produced nanocomposites were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, rheological, and morphological analysis. All obtained results suggest that the LDH-HALS1/HALS2 nanofillers were very well dispersed into the PA11 matrix. Additionally, the photo-oxidative resistance of the PA11-based nanocomposite films was evaluated by subjecting thin films to UVB exposure and the degradation process was monitored by spectroscopic analysis over time. The photo-oxidative resistance of the PA11/LDH-HALS1/HALS2 was compared to that of PA11-based nanocomposites containing unmodified LDH and the commercial hindered amine UV-stabilizer (Cyasorb® UV-3853). It was established that by anchoring the hindered amine moieties to the LDH, the PA11 nanocomposites were successfully protected against UVB exposure. This was because the hindered amine light stabilizing molecules were available to act at the critical zone where the degradation phenomena occur, which is at the interface between the matrix and the inorganic particles.
