Abstract A chitosan (CS)–HgS nanocomposite was synthesized by a simulating biomineralization method. The effect of HgS nanoparticles on the physical properties of the composite was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composite was 22°C higher than that of CS. The thermal stability of the composite was higher than that of CS, which was evidenced by the shift of onset temperature of degradation by 22°C as measured by DSC. The SEM image of the HgS/CS nanocomposite film shows that the nanoparticle size was 100 nm. The fluorescence emission of nanocomposite films was found to be very sensitive to the presence of triethylamine; even a small amount of triethylamine dramatically increased emissions. By contrast, emission was hardly affected by other common ions in water. The films are predicted to have the potential to be developed into excellent sensing films for triethylamine.

Novel nanocomposite films of polycarbonate (PC) with fullerene derivatives, such as pristine fullerene C60 and polyhydroxylated-fullerenes, C60(OH)12 and C60(OH)36, were prepared. The optical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the composites were measured. Nanocomposite films of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with C60(OH)36 were prepared as a reference to show how improved dispersion of the nanofiller affects the overall transparency of the composites. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy showed that the addition of hydroxylated fullerenes did not affect visible light transmittance of the films significantly in the range of 400–800 nm. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo–gravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements showed the increased thermal stability of PC/C60(OH)12 film as compared to pristine PC film. This phenomenon was explained by the rigid polymer interphase regions formed around C60(OH)12 due to the plausible hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. On the other hand, the lower thermal stability of PC–C60(OH)36 was assumed to be caused by large agglomeration of the C60(OH)36 particles and the partial hydrolysis of the polycarbonate matrix. Tensile testing of the composites showed reduction in elongation at break and yield tensile strength. These results may be caused by the particle agglomerations which act as the initiation points for cracks.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were deposited onto surface-hydrolysed PET film by an electrostatic self-assembly technique, so as to fabricate multilayer nanocomposite films. The self-assembly process was monitored by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the multilayer nanocomposite films were characterised by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the AgNPs were uniformly dispersed on the PET film, in the metallic silver state. The thermal stability of the multilayer nanocomposite films was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and it was found that the presence of AgNPs on the surface of PET enhanced the thermal stability of the PET film. The antibacterial performance of the multilayer nanocomposite films was investigated by staphylococcus aureus to monitor the number of the bacterial cells. The results suggested that the PET films after assembled 10-bilayer PDDA/AgNPs multilayer films exhibited good antibacterial performance.
