Transmission Electron Microscopy Analysis

Polyimide (PI) nanocomposites containing two different functionalized graphene sheets (FGSs) were synthesized, and their thermal properties, morphology, oxygen permeability, and electrical conductivity were compared. Hexadecylamine–graphene sheets and 4-amino- N-hexadecylbenzamide–graphene sheets were utilized. Hybrid films were obtained from blended solutions of PI and FGSs, with the filler content with respect to the PI varying from 0 wt% to 10 wt%. The differences in the properties of the PI matrix were then analyzed with respect to filler content. Transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed that the two FGSs were dispersed homogeneously throughout the polymer matrix, although some FGS aggregates were also formed. Furthermore, it was observed that the addition of small amounts of FGS nanofiller was sufficient to improve the coefficient of thermal expansion, the gas barrier properties, and the electrical conductivity of the hybrid films. In contrast, the glass transition temperature and the initial decomposition temperature of the PI hybrid films continued to decrease with increasing FGS content.

Walled Carbon Nanotubes

A technology for the formation of electrically conductive nanostructures from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and their hybrids with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on Si substrate has been developed. Under the action of single pulses of laser irradiation, nanowelding of SWCNT and MWCNT nanotubes with graphene sheets was obtained. Dependences of electromagnetic wave absorption by films of short and long nanotubes with subnanometer and nanometer diameters on wavelength are calculated. It was determined from dependences that absorption maxima of various types of nanotubes are in the wavelength region of about 266 nm. It was found that contact between nanotube and graphene was formed in time up to 400 fs. Formation of networks of SWCNT/MWCNT and their hybrids with rGO at threshold energy densities of 0.3/0.5 J/cm2 is shown. With an increase in energy density above the threshold value, formation of amorphous carbon nanoinclusions on the surface of nanotubes was demonstrated. For all films, except the MWCNT film, an increase in defectiveness after laser irradiation was obtained, which is associated with appearance of C–C bonds with neighboring nanotubes or graphene sheets. CNTs played the role of bridges connecting graphene sheets. Laser-synthesized hybrid nanostructures demonstrated the highest hardness compared to pure nanotubes. Maximum hardness (52.7 GPa) was obtained for MWCNT/rGO topology. Regularity of an increase in electrical conductivity of nanostructures after laser irradiation has been established for films made of all nanomaterials. Hybrid structures of nanotubes and graphene sheets have the highest electrical conductivity compared to networks of pure nanotubes. Maximum electrical conductivity was obtained for MWCNT/rGO hybrid structure (~22.6 kS/m). Networks of nanotubes and CNT/rGO hybrids can be used to form strong electrically conductive interconnections in nanoelectronics, as well as to create components for flexible electronics and bioelectronics, including intelligent wearable devices (IWDs).
