Polyaniline (PAni), cellulose fiber (CF) and a PAni–CF composite, which were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry, were investigated in adsorption studies of meloxicam (MLX) from aqueous media.

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The morphology of MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst and PE/MMT nanocomposites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It can be seen that MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst remained the original MMT sheet structures and many holes were found in MMT and the morphology of PE/MMT nanocomposites is part of the sheet in the form of existence, as most of the petal structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to characterize all the samples. XRD results reveal that the original basal reflection peak of PEI1 and PEI2 disappears completely and that of PEI3 become very weak. MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst was finely dispersed in the PE matrix. Instead of being individually dispersed, most layers were found in thin stacks comprising several swollen layers.

We prepared the polyaniline@polypyrrole (PAn@PPy) conductive composite by a novel method. The struction like Pre-prepared PAn as the core and PPy as the shell for the composite has been prepared by in-situ polymerization. The PAn@PPy conductive composite presents an electrical conductivity of 12.5 S/cm, which is much higher than pure PAn. The synthesized polymer composites are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results indicated that PPy successfully grafted on PAn and the heat resistance of nanocomposite is remarkably increased.

In the present work, we synthesized microcapsules with copolymer of acrylonitrile and ethyl acrylate as shell and isooctane as core by in situ polymerization, and then optimized the preparative method. Synthesized microcapsules were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle diameter analysis and thermogravimetry (TG).

Polyamide 6 (PA6)/magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles composites have been prepared by in situ polymerization of ε-caprolactam in the presence of pristine MH and γ-aminopropyl-triethoxysilan ( KH550 ) grafted MHs (MMH). Compared with pure PA6, the tensile strength and elongation at break of PA6/MH and PA6/MMH composites shown obvious increasement and attain maximum at loading of 3 wt% MHs. The tensile strength and elongations at break of PA6/MMH composites exhibited notably enhancement contrast with that of PA6/MH composites. Comparing with PA6/MH composites, the izod impact strength of PA6/MMH composites were also improved. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shown that MMH particles were homogeneous dispersed in PA6 matrix due to the surface modification of grafting KH550.

AbstractWe report the morphological and electrical study of a composite of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanotitanium dioxide (TiO2-50 nm) in conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI). The composite was synthesized using in-situ polymerization technique. The composite was characterized in terms of morphology and electrical properties using scanning electron microscopy and DC electrical conductivity (𝜎dc). We observed that the DC electrical conductivity of the composite film increased with increasing the loading of nanocomposite material from 20 % to 40 % into PVA stabilizer. The DC conductivity results showed that the molecular chain contribution of the nanocomposite material (nano-TiO2+ PANI) was the prominent carrier in the composite film made of the nanocomposite and PVA stabilizer.

Abstract This work presents advanced resistance mapping techniques based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with nanoprobing systems and the related embedded electronics. Focus is placed on recent advances to reduce noise and increase speed, such as integration of dedicated in situ electronics into the nanoprobing platform, as well as an important transition from current-sensitive to voltagesensitive amplification. We show that it is now possible to record resistance maps with a resistance sensitivity in the 10W range, even when the total resistance of the mapped structures is in the range of 100W. A reference structure is used to illustrate the improved performance, and a lowresistance failure case is presented as an example of analysis made possible by these developments.

The need for control of the elastic properties of architected materials has been accentuated due to the advances in modelling and characterization. Among the plethora of unconventional mechanical responses, controlled anisotropy and auxeticity have been promulgated as a new avenue in bioengineering applications. This paper aims to delineate the mechanical performance of characteristic auxetic and anisotropic designs fabricated by multiphoton lithography. Through finite element analysis the distinct responses of representative topologies are conveyed. In addition, nanoindentation experiments observed in-situ through scanning electron microscopy enable the validation of the modeling and the observation of the anisotropic or auxetic phenomena. Our results herald how these categories of architected materials can be investigated at the microscale.
