AbstractPolymer-single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) composite films were prepared and characterized as part of an effort to develop polymeric materials with improved combinations of properties for potential use on future spacecraft. Next generation spacecraft will require ultra-lightweight materials that possess specific and unique combinations of properties such as radiation and atomic oxygen resistance, low solar absorptivity, high thermal emissitivity, electrical conductivity, tear resistance, ability to be folded and seamed, and good mechanical properties. The objective of this work is to incorporate sufficient electrical conductivity into space durable polyimides to mitigate static charge build-up. The challenge is to obtain this level of conductivity (10-8 S/cm) without degrading other properties of importance, particularly optical transparency. Several different approaches were attempted to fully disperse the SWNTs into the polymer matrix. These included high shear mixing, sonication, and synthesizing the polymers in the presence of pre-dispersed SWNTs. Acceptable levels of conductivity were obtained at loading levels less than one tenth weight percent SWNT without significantly sacrificing optical properties. Characterization of the nanocomposite films and the effect of SWNT concentration and dispersion on the conductivity, solar absorptivity, thermal emissivity, mechanical and thermal properties were discussed. Fibers and non-woven porous mats of SWNT reinforced polymer nanocomposite were produced using electrospinning.

ABSTRACTThin films of pure CaF2 and nanocomposite mixtures of Al2O3 with CaF2 were sublimated on Al2O3 substrates. Interdigital electrodes allowed in situ measurements of the electrical conduction of films as a function of thickness, deposition rate, composition, time, and temperature. The electrical conductivity in pure CaF2 adjacent to an Al2O3 interface sometimes exceeded the bulk CaF2 conductivity (i.e., value at more than 50 nm distance) by as much as a factor of 6700 at 200°C. The high conductivity is characterized by an activation energy of 0.6 ± 0.1 eV, which is significantly lower than the activation energy of about 1.0 eV for conduction in the bulk. However, this high conductivity is thermally unstable and diminishes in time. A high but stable conductivity was obtained in CaF2 films containing about 10 mole percent Al2O3 as a dispersed second phase. At 200°C, a 2-phase film gave a factor of 360 enhancement over the measured bulk CaF2 conductivity and a factor of 7 improvement over the best previously reported conductivity for CaF2-Al203 composite materials. The origin of enhanced conduction in CaF2 is attributed to ion transport along dislocations. Dislocations anneal with a characteristic log of time dependence that is recognizable in the annealing behavior of the electrical conductivity. Presumably, the addition of a dispersed second phase of Al2O3 to CaF2 serves both to generate and to pin dislocations; the electrical conductance is thereby enhanced and stabilized.

A versatile process employing anionic surfactants has been developed for the preparation of processible nanocomposite films with electrical conductivity and magnetic susceptibility. Maghemite (γFe2O3) nanoclusters (~10 nm in size) are coated with 4-dodecyl-benzenesulfonic acid, and polyaniline (PAn) chains are doped with 10-camphorsulfonic acid. The coated nanoclusters and doped polymers are soluble in common solvents, and casting the solutions readily gives free-standing nanocomposite films with nanocluster contents as high as ~50 wt %. The γFe2O3/PAn nanocomposites show high conductivity (82–237 S cm -1 ) and magnetizability (up to ~35 emu/g γFe2O3).
