Synthesis and Characterization of Some Conducting Polymers and Their Complexed Compounds

The chemical co-polymerization of aniline with o-anthranilic acid (AA) to form copolymer films has been made in aqueous hydrochloric acid medium. Poly vinylcarbazole (PVK) was prepared by free radical mechanism. The copolymer (AA) and polymer (PVK) were reacted with KI respectively, to produce a complex compounds. Also, the complex of copolymer (AA) with NaOEt was prepared. The conductivity, IR spectra and the thermal gravimetric analysis of these polymers and their complexes were measured and discussed. It was found that, the specific electrical conductivity (σ) of the copolymer (AA) in presence of NaOEt increases with increase in temperature, whereas decreases with complex of copolymer (AA) +KI. The electrical properties of the PVK were enhanced upon reacting it with KI

Preparation of Emulsion Polymerization from Styrene Vinylpyrrolidone and Studying their Thermal Stability and Electrical Conductivity

Copolymer styrene and vinylpyrrolidone were prepared using different techniques. The emulsion polymerization technique was chosen as it gives the highest molecular weight with polymer particles in the nanorange. The polymer nanocomposites were prepared using Pickering emulsion polymerization stabilized by adding inorganic nanosized particles. Ag nanometal and nanometal oxides of CuO, ZnO and AgO were added into the copolymer for enhancing its thermal stability and electrical conductivity. The nanocomposite chemical structure was confirmed by using FTIR, 1HNMR spectroscopy and TEM. Transmission electron microscopy, TEM photos show that the copolymer particles are almost in the nanoscale region. The thermal stability (TGA) of styrene-co-vinylpyrrolidone in the presence of the nanometal and nanometal oxides was slightly increased. The electrical conductivity of these nanocomposites using dc at different temperatures was measured. The data reveal that the nanocomposites are enhanced by adding the nanometal and nanometal oxides.

Physical Properties of Polyacrylamide/Polyvinylalcohol Silica Nanocomposites

 In this paper, samples of Polyacrylamide (PAAm) nanosilica nanocomposites were prepared having different concentration of nanosilica (0.125, 0.25, and 0.5). Polyacrylamide (PAAm) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were blended with different ratio (3/1, 1/1, 1/3) using solution-cast technique. The prepared films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffractions (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FTIR spectra showed the presence of hydrogen bonding between–CONH2 groups in PAAm and –OH group in PVA and confirm the hydrophilic nature of the blends. X-ray diffractions shows the presence of a strong broad peak centered at 22º (2θ) confirms the amorphous nature of silica which is supposed to be the characteristic of SiO2. The results obtained from different experimental techniques were supported by SEM image analysis. The thermal stability of the nanocomposites enhanced by increasing the silica content in the blend. The DC electrical conductivity was studied for all prepared samples. It was found that the conductivity increase by increasing silica content as well as, increased by increasing the wt% of PVA

Comparison between the electrical properties of polyphenylacetylene and polyaminotriazole

The electrical properties of a polymer containing aromatic rings were compared with those of polyheterocyclic compound. Each segment of the polyheterocyclic compound contains three nitrogen atoms. Both polymers were prepared at the laboratory. It was found that the specific electrical conductivity of polyphenylacetylene is higher than that of polyaminotriazole. Log ρ vs. 103/T was traced for both compounds, where ρ is the specific electrical resistivity and T is the absolute temperature. Complexes of each compound with KI were prepared. The electrical properties of these complexes were studied. The microstructure of both compounds was determined by FTIR spectroscopy
