Various techniques have been used to prepare polymer nanocomposite thin films that involve tedious work and consume considerable amount of materials and time. In this study, nanocomposite thin films of poly (3-hexylthiophene -2, 5-diyl) (P3HT), stearic acid and CdSe nanoparticles were fabricated by a stamping method which is a modification of Langmuir Schaefer technique. The CdSe nanoparticles were then grown in-situ between subsequent layers of thin film by gas exposure technique. Their surface-pressure (-A) isotherms and morphology were investigated. The surface-pressure isotherms revealed that, impurities in water subphase affect the profile of Langmuir monolayer. Stearic acid was found to be more dominant as compared to P3HT. The modified Langmuir Schaefer technique produced fairly smooth, large area nanocomposite thin films as shown by the AFM images. A prominent advantage of this procedure is that it requires only small amount of materials.

PLT(28) thin films deposited on glass substrates were studied by two sputtering processes. One is an in situ magnetron sputtering and the other is a low-temperature magnetron sputtering. The sintered PLT ceramic powders are used as a sputtering target for both processes. The influences of sputtering and annealing conditions on structure and crystallinity of the films were investigated. The electro-optic (E-O) properties of PLT(28) thin films prepared by the two processes were determined by a technique according to Faraday effect. The researches showed the E-O properties were strongly affected by the sputtering process. The film with larger grains exhibits stronger E-O effect. The quadratic E-O coefficient of PLT(28) thin film varies in the range of 0.1 × 10−16 to 1.0 × 10−16 (m/v)2.

AbstractA facile electrophoretic deposition method was successfully applied to achieve novel nanoclay-reinforced polyacrylamide nanocomposite thin films. A special curled architecture of the re-aggregated nanoclay-platelets was identified, providing a possible source for realizing the interlocking mechanism in the nanocomposites. The curled architecture could be the result from strain releasing when the thin films were peeled off from the substrates. Through micro-/nano-indentation and in situ observation of the deformation during tensile test with an atomic force microscope (AFM), the localized deformation mechanism of the synthesized materials was investigated in further details. The results implied that a localized crack diversion mechanism worked in the synthesized nanocomposite thin films, which resembled its nature counterpart-nacre. The deformation behavior and fracture mechanism were discussed with reference to lamellar structure, interfacial strength between the nanoclays and the polyacrylamide matrix, and nanoclay agglomeration.
