Doping of polyaniline (PANI) coatings by metal nanoparticles is a highly effective method for increasing their electrically conductive (EC), photovoltaic, and catalytic properties. In this case, the particular interest is the formation of metal-filled polyaniline coatings during their synthesis by the vacuum method. The growth of the polymer chain and the processes of structure formation proceed simultaneously and it becomes possible to vary the degree of doping, protonation, and ordering of the formed thin-film systems in a wide range. The purpose of the development is to determine the peculiarities of the formation of electron-beam dispersion from volatile products, the molecular structure of polyaniline-based layers containing noble metal nanoparticles, and to establish the effect of dopants on the molecular organization of the formed layers. The features of deposition from volatile products of electron-beam dispersion of nanocomposite polyaniline-based coatings and metal nanoparticles (silver, gold) are determined. The features of the molecular structure of the layers and the influence and its change upon the introduction of dopants by the methods of Raman and IR Fourier spectroscopy have been established. It is shown that the coatings have a conformational state of macromolecules in the form of flat extended chains, and a more oxidized structure of polyaniline layers is observed when silver chloride is used. It is shown that the features of the molecular structure of the formed polymer matrix based on polyaniline are due to the manifestation of a specific non-covalent interaction of macromolecules with metal nanoparticles. Analysis of the study results indicates the deposition possibility from the gas phase of nanocomposite conducting coatings based on polyaniline, which are a system of protonated conducting polymer chains and metal clusters. Such coatings are promising elements of sensor devices for various purposes; they can be used, in particular, in the creation of electrochromic devices.

Ion-track-etched capillaries containing nanoparticles of precious metals (e.g., Pt, Au, and Ag) can be applied to plasmonic absorber materials. The precipitation of homogeneous and highly dispersed precious metal nanoparticles inside capillaries represents a key process. Ion-track-etched capillaries (diameter: ~500 nm, length: ~25 μm) were created in polyimide film by 350 MeV Xe irradiation (3 × 107 ions/cm2) and chemical etching (using a sodium hypochlorite solution). The films with capillaries were immersed in an aqueous solution containing 0.1–10 mmol/L H2PtCl6 and 0.5 vol% C2H5OH, and then irradiated with a 2 MeV electron beam up to a fluence of 1.4 × 1016 e/cm2. The Pt particles inside the capillaries were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The precipitation of Pt nanoparticles and isolated aggregates inside the capillaries was confirmed by TEM. The Pt nanoparticles tended to aggregate under increasing concentrations of H2PtCl6 in the aqueous solution; meanwhile, no changes in nanoparticle size were noted under increasing electron beam fluence. The results suggest that the proposed method can be used to form metal nanoparticles in nanosized capillaries with a high aspect ratio.

Based on energy and entropy principles, a statistical model describing the shattered state of a single spherical liquid drop after being subjected to a relatively sudden but uniform (over the whole surface area of the drop) impact is developed. The problem is addressed from a fundamental standpoint, with the intention of providing a predictive framework for the various modes of breakup and the size and number of droplets produced. Upon neglecting viscous effects, several results in terms of the energy of impact, non-dimensionalized with respect to the surface energy of the drop before impact, are derived. The model is quite simple and straightforward, yet it appears to predict in a fairly consistent manner certain experimental observations that have been made repeatedly in relation to drop breakup in stirred dispersions, by collision, and exposure to shocks.
