Microorganism Nutrition Processes as a General Route for the Preparation of Bionic Nanocomposites Based on Intractable Polymers
In this paper the
fermentation process activated by living microorganisms
of the baker’s yeast is proposed as a facile assembly method
of hybrid nanoparticles at liquid interface. Water dispersion of commercial
baker’s yeast extract used for bread production, graphene nanoplatelets
(GNPs), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to oil/water interface;
when the yeast is activated by adding sugar, the byproduct carbon
dioxide bubbles migrate from the water phase to the oil/water interface
generating a floating nanostructured film at liquid interface where
it is trapped. Starting from this simple method, we propose a general
approach for the stabilization of intractable polyÂ(etheretherketone)
polymeric particles with GNPs and CNTs at immiscible liquid interface.
This process allowed the formation of sintered porous composites with
improved mechanical properties. The porous structure of the composites
gave rise to a low thermal conductivity making them good candidates
for thermal insulating applications. Liquid absorption by these porous
composites has been also reported. We believe that this new approach
may have applications in the large scale fabrication of nanomaterials
and is particularly suited for the preparation of nanocomposites starting
from polymers that are intractable by solvent casting
