Mesoporous TiO2 films are synthesized through evaporation-induced self-assembly using poly(ethylene oxide-b-ε-caprolactone) diblock copolymers as a soft-template. Using small-angle X-ray scattering and scanning electron microscopy, we investigate the effect of the TiO2/PEO-b-PCL ratio on the resulting nanoarchitectonic structure. After sputter-coating Au and Pt layers, these Au/TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 nanocomposite films display drastically enhanced photodegradation of rhodamine 6G under ultraviolet irradiation, due to the metal films inhibiting the rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers.

Silica Nanocomposite

Carbon/silica nanocomposite films with a hexagonal P6mm structure were fabricated directly by the oxidation and carbonization of surfactant/silica nanocomposite films, which were obtained by a dip-coating technique through a combination of sol-gel and evaporation-induced self-assembly. The as-synthesized nanocomposite films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption. These analyses reveal that the carbon/silica nanocomposite films, with a narrow pore size distribution of mesopores, have an ordered symmetric structure. The pore sizes of this hybrid film can be controlled within a certain range by changing the carbonization temperature. In addition, the films are composed of a continuous silica matrix and a continuous carbon coating in about 1 nm adhered well to the silica matrix. The formation of carbon coatings from surfactant acts as a framework support to prevent the pore size of the silica matrix from shrinking.

Method Of Evaluation

Oriented lamellar nanocomposites formed of alternating organic and inorganic layers were prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly and studied by small-angle X-ray scattering in symmetrical and asymmetrical reflection. Analytical expressions were used for a quantitative fit of the experimental data. The fitting procedure leads to a comprehensive characterization of the lamellar two-phase system in terms of the average thicknesses of the lamellae, the average period and the corresponding variances, using both the stacking model and the lattice model. Furthermore, the width of the domain boundary and the preferred orientation were determined. No significant differences could be found between the parameters obtained for the two models, but the lattice model leads to a better curve fitting. The effects of finite stack height and of instrumental broadening were found to be indistinguishable.

Evaporation Induced Self Assembly

Abstract To obtain high performance of nanocomposite films made of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and montmorillonites (MMTs), highly ordered nanostructures and abundant interfacial interactions are of extreme importance, especially for CNF film with high MMT content. Here, we tend to unveil the influence of exfoliation degree of MMTs and their interfacial interactions with CNFs on the properties of ensuing nanocomposite films. Monolayer MMTs prefer to form highly ordered nanostructure during water evaporation induced self-assembly. The obtained nanocomposite film with 30 wt% monolayer MMTs exhibits a tensile strength of 132 MPa, a total light transmittance of 90.2% (550nm), and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of 41.5 g•mm/m2•day, better than the film made of original bulk MMTs and CNFs (30 MPa strength, 60% transparency, and 78.7 g•mm/m2•day WVTR). Moreover, the physical properties (153 MPa strength and 20.9 g•mm/m2•day WVTR) of nanocomposite film can be further enhanced by constructing ionic interactions between the monolayer MMT and CNF using 0.5 wt% cationic polyethylenimine (PEI). However, as the amount of PEI continues to increase, its performance will be deteriorated dramatically because of the disordered orientation of monolayer MMTs. This work could provide an insight into the fabrication of high performance MMT/CNF nanocomposite film for advanced applications.

AbstractUsing a novel electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) method to incorporate CdSe quantum dots into polymer we have successfully synthesized ultrathin films. This method allows the molecular-level thickness control and layer-by-layer formation of multilayer thin and thick films using alternative anionic and cationic molecular solution dipping. From ellipsometric measurements, we obtained that the thickness of per bilayer is around 3.7 nm. UV-vis absorption spectra versus the number of bilayers have also been obtained using an Hitachi 2001 spectrometer. The size of CdSe quantum dots has been measured using transmission electron microscopy before the CdSe quantum dots are incorporated and confirmed using atomic force microscopy after the formation of the film, respectively. Both measurements indicate that the diameter of the CdSe quantum dots is 2-3 nm. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that the concentration of the CdSe quantum dots in the film is 2.14%.
