Cellulose as matrix component of conducting films

Conjugated polymers gain growing importance as conductive materials in industrial applications in various fields of electronic devices. Cellulose with its extraordinary supramolecular structure and material properties can help to awake the possibilities for conducting polymers in interplay of the two materials. The ability of additional derivatization, the stiff and oriented molecular structure and the inherent strength, stability and film-forming properties give cellulose a complementary role to the brittle conjugated polymers, cellulose imparting the features of a stable and robust carrier component. To go forward this way, making a composite out of cellulose and conducting polymers is a prerequisite. Different strategies to form composite materials of non-derivatized cellulose and conductive organic polymers were tested. Significant differences between various mixing strategies as well as between the conducting polymers polyaniline (PAni), polypyrrole (PPy), and polythiophen (PTh) were observed. In situ synthesis of the conducting polymers in cellulose solutions and microcellulose dispersions as well as blending of pre-synthesized conducting polymers in these cellulose systems were tested. Unexpectedly, not homogenous mixtures showed best results in respect to film formation and conductivity, but composites formed by heterogeneous mixtures of the conducting polymers within a cellulose gel. Best results were obtained with finely dispersed PAni. The results support development studies towards circuitry and photo-current systems based on cellulose carriers.     

Positive Temperature Coefficient Characteristics of Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube Filled Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites

Composites of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were prepared by a melt mixing process. Temperature dependence of electrical properties of the nanocomposites was investigated for composites containing different amounts of MWNT. An obvious positive temperature coefficient was observed. It was found that resistivity of the composites was decreased with increasing MWNT content and the electrical percolation threshold was formed at 3 wt% MWNT, which were caused by the formation of conductive chains in the composites. The mechanism of the positive temperature coefficient behavior of the nanocomposites is discussed. The rheological results showed that the materials experience a fluid–solid transition at the composition of 2 wt%, beyond which a continuous MWNT network forms throughout the matrix leading to a percolated network structure, which further indictes the nanotubes were dispersed uniformaly, in the PVDF matrix.     

Single step synthesis of poly(3‐octylthiophene)/multi‐walled carbon nanotube composites and their characterizations

The transport properties of conducting polymers are known to be greatly influenced by the chemical unsaturation surrounding the polymer backbone, besides favorable conformation of the side chains present. Polymeric composites with multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) can provide a good conductive path at relatively low carbon contents, as these have high aspect ratio, specific surfaces and are cost effective. Hence their use in various applications such as organic LED, solar cells and supercapacitors are very much anticipated. In this respect poly(3‐octylthiophene)/MWNT composites have been prepared by an “insitu” polymerization process in chloroform medium with FeCl₃ oxidant at room temperature. The composites were characterized by Fourier Transfer Infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), Raman, work function and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The results indicate only a weak π‐π interaction between the moieties, in the absence of a strong covalent bonding. The ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) measurements also support this view. The photoluminescence (PL) quenching indicates the effectiveness of the interface in the formation of the donor–acceptor type composite. The conductivity of the composites is followed by a four probe technique to understand the conduction mechanism. The Hall voltage measurement is followed to monitor carrier concentrations and mobilities. The impressive conductivity and mobility values encourage the utility of the composites as photovoltaic material. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and characterization of conducting polythiophene/carbon nanotubes composites

Conducting polythiophene (PTh)/single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) composites were synthesized by the in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method. The resulting cablelike morphology of the composite (SWNT–PTh) structures was characterized with elemental analysis, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X‐ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The standard four‐point‐probe method was used to measure the conductivity of the samples. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the SWNT–PTh composites were core (SWNTs) and shell (PTh) hybrid structures. Spectroscopic analysis data for the composites were almost identical to those for PTh, supporting the idea that SWNTs served as templates in the formation of a coaxial nanostructure for the composites. The physical properties of the composites were measured and also showed that the SWNTs were modified by conducting PTh with an enhancement of various properties. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Characterization of Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube/Polythiophene Composites

Multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polythiophene (PTh) composites have been prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. PTh is synthesized onto the sidewalls of the MWCNTs, which play a role as hard templates for PTh to produce one‐dimensional nanostructures. The morphology and structures of the MWCNT/PTh composites are characterized by High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, x‐ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Their electrical property and thermal stability are determined using vector network analyzer and thermal gravimetric analyzer. Moreover, the mechanism of MWCNT/PTh nanowire formation is described. The studies show that the composites are nanowires with core‐shell structure, in which the outer shells and inner cores are formed by PTh and MWCNTs, respectively. The addition of MWCNTs does not change the backbone structure of PTh and affect the amorphous condition of PTh very slightly, however, it improves the electrical conductivity and thermal stability of PTh.
