In this work we report a simple way for the conducting polymer nanocomposites synthesis using on algerian hydrophilic natural Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay named Maghnite (Mag) as dopant. The electrochemical properties study of the following conducting polymers: poly(4-aminobenzylamine) (P4ABA) and polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites with copper maghnite (Mag-Cu) were successfully prepared by In-Situ polymerization, in presence of inorganic nanolayers of clay, and oxidizing agent ammonium persulfate. The synthesis of copolymers was developed at different feed mole fractions of monomer. The products were characterized by the Fourier transform Infrared (FT-IR), the ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the in-situ polymerization produced real nanocomposites containing aniline and 4-aminobenzylamine units.

Abstract Polyimide/polyaniline nanofiber composites were prepared by in situ polymerization with various weight percentages of polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), proved the successful preparation of PANI nanofiber composite films. In addition, thermal stability of PI/PANI nanofiber composites was superior relative to PI, having 10 % gravimetric loss in the range of 623 °C to 671 °C and glass transition temperature of 289 °C to 297 °C. Furthermore, the values of the loss tangent tanδ and AC conductivity σAC of the nanocomposite films were notably higher than those of pure polyimide. The addition of 5 wt.% to 15 wt.% PANI nanofiber filler enhanced the activation energy of PI composites from 0.37 eV to 0.34 eV.

<p>A series of nanocomposites consist of organic polyimide and organo-modified clay content varying from 0 to 5 wt%, were successfully prepared by in situ polymerization. Polyimide used as a matrix of nanocomposite was prepared through the reaction of 1,4-bis [4-aminophenoxy] butane (APB) and 3،3΄،4،4΄-benzophenone tetra carboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The resulting nanocomposite films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).</p>

This work reports synthesize of polypyrrole nano powder by chemical in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solution and ammonium persulfate solution which acts as oxidant. It is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD spectrum reveals that the materials are amorphous in nature. FTIR analysis confirms that all peaks are the main characteristic of PPy. SEM analysis showed that the powder has a uniform granular morphology and the size varies from ∼500 nm to 1 μm. The micrograph of polypyrrole reveals the presence of globular particles. The formed particles are irregular in nature. The results show that the fibers are chemically formed as spherical nanostructures.

AbstractWe reported a chemical approach for the in-situ preparation of conducting polyaniline (PANI)/Fe2O3 composite dispersions using dodecylbenzene sulfonic (DBSA) acid both as dopant and surfactant. The PANI/Fe2O3 composite dispersions were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and FT-IR spectra and conductivity measurement. The dispersions showed good stability and existed without precipitate for at least half a year. The gas-sensing behavior of the composite film to 100 ppm of NH3 was studied through monitoring the change of the resistance.

Polyacrylonitrile/montmorillonite (PAN/MMT) nanocomposite with amidoxime functionality was prepared from acrylonitrile monomer(AN) and montmorillonite(MMT) through in-situ intercalation polymerization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction patter (XRD) were employed to characterize the obtained Na-MMT、Organ-MMT、PAN/MMT、APAN/MMT. Effects of preparing conditions of APAN/MMT on adsorption of uranium were investigated. The FT-IR spectra show that the new absorption band at 1653 cm-1( ) appears and the absorption band at 2243 cm-1(-CN) disappears on the spectrum of APAN/MMT, it indicates that the AN and MMT are successfully polymerized by in-situ polymerization and the PAN/MMT is amidoxime functionalized. The APAN/MMT nanocomposite completely lose the X-ray diffraction. The adsorption results show that the obtained APAN-MMT gives uranium adsorption capacity of 3.06 mg.g-1 under following conditions: uranium ion concentration of 10 mg/L, AM mass concentration of 80.0%, initiator of 4.5%, polymerization temperature of 70 °C,polymerization time of 3 h, pH of 7 and amidoxime functionalized reaction time of 2 h.

AbstractIn this study, PA6-66/γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-modified clay nanocomposites were prepared byin situpolymerization. It was found that the γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was chemically grafted onto clay successfully, and the covalent bond was formed between the clay and polymer chains. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that intercalated and exfoliated nanocomposites were obtained. The PA6-66 nanocomposites exhibited improved mechanical performance compared to that of neat PA6-66. Most importantly, the PA6-66 nanocomposites showed significantly improved toughness. In comparison with neat PA6-66, the rupture stress and elongation at the break of the nanocomposite with only 0.5 wt% clay increased 91.9% and 91.8%, respectively. The excellent toughness of PA6-66 nanocomposites should be mainly ascribed to the combined effects of strong polymer-clay interaction, the intercalated-exfoliated structures of clay, refined crystalline, formation of γ-form crystals, and decreased crystallinity of PA6-66.

The PANI/ITO conducting nanocomposites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Electrical conductivity measurements on the samples pressed into pellets showed that the maximum conductivity attained 2.0 ± 0.05 S/cm for PANI/ITO nanocomposites, at ITO doping concentration of 10 wt%. The results of the present work may provide a simple, rapid and efficient approach for preparing PANI/ITO nanocomposites.

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.

The preparation of hydrophobic CaCO3-wood composite through a double-diffusive method using dodecanoic acid as organic substrate is demonstrated. The product was characterized by the contact angle analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The mechanical properties of the product were measured. The results show that the synthesized CaCO3 fills in the wood cell and covers the surface of wood. The CaCO3-wood composite is hydrophobic. The mechanical properties of wood composite have significantly increased.
