Novel silicone-based nanocomposites with varied elastic properties were prepared by blending standard polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a lower viscosity component (hydroxyl-terminated PDMS) and integrating a graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) filler modified by strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The curing behavior of these nanocomposites was studied by dynamic and isothermal differential scanning calorimetry. The activation energies of the polymerization reactions were determined using the Kissinger method and two model-free isoconversional approaches, the Ozawa–Flynn–Wall and the Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose methods. Results show that the complex trend of the curing behavior can be described using the isoconversional methods, unveiling lower activation energies for the nanocomposites with standard PDMS matrices. The role of the DNA modification of graphene on the curing behavior is also demonstrated. The curing reactions of the nanocomposites with the PDMS matrix are favored by the presence of the GNP–DNA filler. PDMS/PDMS–OH blends generate softer nanocomposites with hardness and reduced elastic modulus that can be tuned by varying the amount of the filler.

The europium (III) complex of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (C3CA) has been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, and emission (photoluminescence and electrochemiluminescence) spectroscopy. The synthesised complex having a formula Eu was photophysically characterized in solution and in the solid state. Electrochemiluminescence, ECL, of the system containing the Eu(III)/C3CA complex was studied using an oxide-covered aluminium electrode. The goal of these studies was to show the possibility of the use of electrochemical excitation of the Eu(III) ion in aqueous solution for emission generation. The generated ECL emission was very weak, and therefore its measurements and spectral analysis were carried out with the use of cut-off filters method. The studies proved a predominate role of the ligand-to-metal energy transfer (LMET) in the generated ECL.
