Ultraflexible and Mechanically Strong Polymer/Polyaniline Conductive Interpenetrating Nanocomposite via In Situ Polymerization of Vinyl Monomer.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneous enhancement of conductivity and mechanical properties for polyaniline/polymer nanocomposite still remains a big challenge. Here, a reverse approach via in situ polymerization (RIP) of vinyl monomers in waterborne polyaniline dispersion was raised to prepare conductive polyaniline (GPANI)/polyacrylate (PMB) interpenetrating polymer (GPANI-PMB) nanocomposite. GPANI/PMB physical blend was simultaneously prepared as reference. The conductive GPANI-PMB nanocomposite film with compact pomegranate-shape morphology is homogeneous, ultraflexible and mechanically strong. With incorporating a considerable amount of PMB into GPANI via the RIP method, only a slight decrease from 3.21 to 2.80 S/cm was detected for the conductivity of GPANI-PMB, while the tensile strength significantly increased from 25 to 43.5 MPa, and the elongation at break increased from 40% to 234%. The water absorption of GPANI-PMB3 after 72 h immersion decreased from 24.68% to 10.35% in comparison with GPANI, which is also higher than that of GPANI/PMB. The conductivity and tensile strength of GPANI-PMB were also much higher than that of GPANI/PMB (0.006 S/cm vs. 5.59 MPa). Moreover, the conductivity of GPANI-PMB remained almost invariable after folding 200 times, while that of GPANI/PMB decreased by almost half. This RIP approach should be applicable for preparing conventional conductive polymer nanocomposite with high conductivity, high strength and high flexibility.

Mechanically tunable conductive interpenetrating network hydrogels that mimic the elastic moduli of biological tissue.

Project description:Conductive and stretchable materials that match the elastic moduli of biological tissue (0.5-500?kPa) are desired for enhanced interfacial and mechanical stability. Compared with inorganic and dry polymeric conductors, hydrogels made with conducting polymers are promising soft electrode materials due to their high water content. Nevertheless, most conducting polymer-based hydrogels sacrifice electronic performance to obtain useful mechanical properties. Here we report a method that overcomes this limitation using two interpenetrating hydrogel networks, one of which is formed by the gelation of the conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS. Due to the connectivity of the PEDOT:PSS network, conductivities up to 23?S?m-1 are achieved, a record for stretchable PEDOT:PSS-based hydrogels. Meanwhile, the low concentration of PEDOT:PSS enables orthogonal control over the composite mechanical properties using a secondary polymer network. We demonstrate tunability of the elastic modulus over three biologically relevant orders of magnitude without compromising stretchability (?>?100%) or conductivity (?>?10?S?m-1).

Ultralight, Ultraflexible, Anisotropic, Highly Thermally Conductive Graphene Aerogel Films.

Project description:Graphene aerogels have attracted much attention as a promising material for various applications. The unusually high intrinsic thermal conductivity of individual graphene sheets makes an obvious contrast with the thermal insulating performance of assembled 3D graphene materials. We report the preparation of anisotropy 3D graphene aerogel films (GAFs) made from tightly packed graphene films using a thermal expansion method. GAFs with different thicknesses and an ultimate low density of 4.19 mg cm-3 were obtained. GAFs show high anisotropy on average cross-plane thermal conductivity (K⊥) and average in-plane thermal conductivity (K||). Additionally, uniaxially compressed GAFs performed a large elongation of 11.76% due to the Z-shape folding of graphene layers. Our results reveal the ultralight, ultraflexible, highly thermally conductive, anisotropy GAFs, as well as the fundamental evolution of macroscopic assembled graphene materials at elevated temperature.

Air stable black phosphorous in polyaniline-based nanocomposite.

Project description:The greatest challenge regarding black phosphorus (BP) comes as a result of its fast degradation when exposed to ambient conditions, which has overshadowed its applications. Herein, we report a simple and efficient route towards overcoming BP deterioration by preparing a nanocomposite with the conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI). The liquid/liquid interfacial method was employed to produce transparent, freestanding and transferable thin film of BP covered by PANI, with high stability under ambient atmosphere, up to 60 days. Otherwise, the uncapped exfoliated neat BP degraded in solely 3 days under the same conditions. Characterization data show that PANI covers efficiently the BP flakes, indicating favorable interactions between the components. The results presented here can be considered a breakthrough for employing BP as thin film in different technological applications, considering the properties of BP itself or taking advantage of synergistically combining the properties of both components.

Polyvinylbutyral-Polyaniline Nanocomposite for High Microwave Absorption Efficiency.

Project description:A coatable polyvinylbutyral (PVB)-polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite was designed for high microwave absorption efficiency. The maximum absorption efficiency 88.2 dB GHz/mm was obtained for the PANI nanofiber-loaded PVB (PVBPN) nanocomposite with a large bandwidth, whereas a pristine PANI-containing composite shows 53.5 dB GHz/mm in the frequency range 8.2-18 GHz. The presence of nanoslit pores in PVBPN also helps to achieve a large bandwidth and hence high microwave absorption efficiency. Standard electromagnetic simulation also shows that power absorbed by the PVBPN nanocomposite is high and its ultrathin coating over the dielectric substrate (epoxy) is promising for broadband tuneable reflection loss.

Synthesis of Polyaniline/Scarlet 3R as a Conductive Polymer.

Project description:Polyaniline (PANI) was prepared in the presence of the acidic dye scarlet 3R. Color tuning was performed on PANI through doping-dedoping processes and by changing the solvent used during the optical absorption spectroscopic measurements. The chemical structure of the resulting polymer-dye composite was analyzed using infrared absorption spectroscopy, and it showed the occurrence of secondary doping in m-cresol. The shape of the UV-Vis optical absorption spectra for the composite solution is dependent on the types of organic solvents used during the analysis, which was influenced by the conformation of PANI and the ionic interactions between PANI and scarlet 3R.

Advanced Synthesis of Conductive Polyaniline Using Laccase as Biocatalyst.

Project description:Polyaniline is a conductive polymer with distinctive optical and electrical properties. Its enzymatic synthesis is an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of harsh oxidants and extremely acidic conditions. 7D5L, a high-redox potential laccase developed in our lab, is the biocatalyst of choice for the synthesis of green polyaniline (emeraldine salt) due to its superior ability to oxidize aniline and kinetic stability at the required polymerization conditions (pH 3 and presence of anionic surfactants) as compared with other fungal laccases. Doses as low as 7.6 nM of 7D5L catalyze the polymerization of 15 mM aniline (in 24 h, room temperature, 7% yield) in the presence of different anionic surfactants used as doping templates to provide linear and water-soluble polymers. Aniline polymerization was monitored by the increase of the polaron absorption band at 800 nm (typical for emeraldine salt). Best polymerization results were obtained with 5 mM sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as template. At fixed conditions (15 mM aniline and 5mM SDBS), polymerization rates obtained with 7D5L were 2.5-fold the rates obtained with commercial Trametes villosa laccase. Moreover, polyaniline yield was notably boosted to 75% by rising 7D5L amount to 0.15 ?M, obtaining 1g of green polyaniline in 1L-reaction volume. The green polymer obtained with the selected system (7D5L/SDBS) holds excellent electrochemical and electro-conductive properties displayed in water-dispersible nanofibers, which is advantageous for the nanomaterial to be readily cast into uniform films for different applications.

Electrically Conductive Micropatterned Polyaniline-Poly(ethylene glycol) Composite Hydrogel.

Project description:Hydrogel substrate-based micropatterns can be adjusted using the pattern shape and size, affecting cell behaviors such as proliferation and differentiation under various cellular environment parameters. An electrically conductive hydrogel pattern system mimics the native muscle tissue environment. In this study, we incorporated polyaniline (PANi) in a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel matrix through UV-induced photolithography with photomasks, and electrically conductive hydrogel micropatterns were generated within a few seconds. The electrical conductance of the PANi/PEG hydrogel was 30.5 ± 0.5 mS/cm. C2C12 myoblasts were cultured on the resulting substrate, and the cells adhered selectively to the PANi/PEG hydrogel regions. Myogenic differentiation of the C2C12 cells was induced, and the alignment of myotubes was consistent with the arrangement of the line pattern. The expression of myosin heavy chain on the line pattern showed potential as a substrate for myogenic cell functionalization.

Mechanically Strong, Hydrophobic, Antimicrobial, and Corrosion Protective Polyesteramide Nanocomposite Coatings from <i>Leucaena leucocephala</i> Oil: A Sustainable Resource.

Project description:The aim of this research work is to develop polyesteramide [LMPEA] nanocomposite coating material [LMPEA/Ag] using N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) fatty amide obtained from non-edible Leucaena leucocephala [LL] seed oil [LLO], and maleic anhydride, reinforced with silver nanoparticles [SNPs], biosynthesized in Leucaena leucocephala leaf extract. UV, XRD, TEM, and particle size analyses confirmed the biosynthesis of NP (37.55 nm). FTIR and NMR established the structure of LMPEA formed by esterification reaction, without any solvent/diluent. Coatings were mechanically strong, well adherent to substrate, flexibility retentive, hydrophobic, and antimicrobial as evident from good scratch hardness (2-3 kg), impact resistance (150 lb per inch), bend test (1/8 inch), high water contact angle measurement value (109°) relative to pristine LMPEA coating (89°), and broad-spectrum antimicrobial behavior against MRSA, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, A. baumannii, and C. albicans. LMPEA and LMPEA/Ag exhibited high corrosion protection efficiencies, 99.81% and 99.94%, respectively, in (3.5% w/v) NaCl solution for 20 days and safe usage up to 200 °C. The synthesized nanocomposite coatings provide an alternate pathway for utilization of non-edible Leucaena leucocephala seed oil through a safer chemical synthesis route, without the use/generation of any harmful solvent/toxic products, adopting "Green Chemistry" principles.

Three-Dimensional Printable Conductive Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Network Hydrogel for Neural Tissue Applications.

Project description:Intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) are widely used to fabricate biomaterials; their application in neural tissue engineering, however, is severely limited because of their hydrophobicity and insufficient mechanical properties. For these reasons, soft conductive polymer hydrogels (CPHs) are recently developed, resulting in a water-based system with tissue-like mechanical, biological, and electrical properties. The strategy of incorporating ICPs as a conductive component into CPHs is recently explored by synthesizing the hydrogel around ICP chains, thus forming a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN). In this work, a novel conductive semi-IPN hydrogel is designed and synthesized. The hybrid hydrogel is based on a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-isopropylmethacrylamide) hydrogel where polythiophene is introduced as an ICP to provide the system with good electrical properties. The fabrication of the hybrid hydrogel in an aqueous medium is made possible by modifying and synthesizing the monomers of polythiophene to ensure water solubility. The morphological, chemical, thermal, electrical, electrochemical, and mechanical properties of semi-IPNs were fully investigated. Additionally, the biological response of neural progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells in contact with the conductive semi-IPN was evaluated in terms of neural differentiation and proliferation. Lastly, the potential of the hydrogel solution as a 3D printing ink was evaluated through the 3D laser printing method. The presented results revealed that the proposed 3D printable conductive semi-IPN system is a good candidate as a scaffold for neural tissue applications.
