AbstractFullerene chemistry is booming, but how the chemical reactions affect fullerene's materials properties has seldom been studied. We have investigated optical limiting behavior of a series of fullerene derivatives, polymers, and glasses and have observed the following structure-property relationships for optical limiting in the fullerene materials: (i) The fullerene polymers with aromatic and chlorine moieties, i.e., C60-containing polycarbonate (C60-PC), polystyrene (C60- PS), and poly(vinyl chloride) (C60-PVC), limit the 8-ns pulses of 532-nm laser light more effectively than does the parent C60; (ii) the fullerene polymers with carbonyl groups, i.e., C60- containing CR-39 (C60-CR-39) and poly(methyl methacrylate), (C60-PMMA), do not enhance C60's limiting power; and (iii) the aminated fullerene derivatives, i.e., HxC60 (NHR)x [R = -(CH2CH2O)2H (1), x = 11; -(CH2)6OH (2), x = 7; -cyclo-C6H11 (3), x = 11; -(CH2)3Si(OC2H5)3 (4), x = 4], and their sol-gel glasses, i.e., 1–3/SiO2 (physical blending) and 4-SiO2 (chemical bonding), show complex limiting responses, with 4(-SiO2) performing consistently better than 1-3(/SiO2). The fullerene glasses are optically stable and their optical limiting properties remainunchanged after being subjected to continuous attack by the strong laser pulses for ca. 1 h.

Physical Phenomena

Traditionally ceramics have been shaped from powders and densified at temperatures close to their liquid point. New processing methods using various types of sols, gels, and organometallic precursors at low temperature which enable densificatlon at elevated temperatures well below their liquidus, hold the promise of producing ceramics and glasses of controlled and reproducible properties that are highly reliable for electronic, structural, space or medical applications. Ultrastructure processing of silicon alkoxides in acid medium and mixtures of Ludox HS-40 (120Å spheres from DuPont) and Kasil (38% K2O &62% SiO2) in basic medium have been aimed at producing materials with a range of well defined pore sizes (∼20-400Å) to study physical phenomena and materials behavior in well characterized confined geometries. We have studied Pt/C surface replicas of some of these porous sol-gels prepared at temperatures below their glass transition point.

This work successfully prepared an UV curable organic-inorganic hybrid material consisting of organic modified colloidal silica. Applications of UV curable organic-inorganic hybrid materials include abrasion resistant coatings, photo-patternable thin films and waveguides. Colloidal silica containing reactive functional groups were also prepared by reacting organic silane and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) using sol-gel process. In addition, the efficiency of grafting organic moiety onto silica nanoparticles was investigated by applying TGA and FTIR techniques. Experimental results indicated a strong interdependence between surface modification efficiency and solution pH. Acrylate-SiO2 hybrid formation could result in a shifting of thermal degradation temperature of organic component from about 200°C to near 400°C. In addition, the stability of organic modified colloidal silica in UV curable formula and the physical properties of resulting coatings were discussed. Furthermore, the morphology of organic modified colloidal silica was investigated by performing TEM and SEM studies‥
