“…Carbon black as a filler with light weight (density of 1.7-1.9 g/cm 3 ), high specific surface area (7-560 m 2 /g), 53 and high electrical conductivity (0.1-100 S/cm) 54 as well as low price and high mass production has been extensively compounded with PU matrixes to impart conductivity. [55][56][57] However, a relatively high content of CB should be loaded into the polymers to make them electrically conductive.…”

Polyurethanes (PUs) thanks to the occurrence of phase separation and biphasic structure prevail over other polymer matrixes for impregnation of conductive fillers and production of conductive composites. A number of carbonous fillers including carbon black, carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, graphite and its derivatives, and fullerene can be loaded into the PU matrixes to impart electrical conductivity. The properties of the carbonous fillers, the filler/PU interactions, and the method of compositing determine the conductive performance of the composite. It is possible to modulate the properties of the conductive PU composites and employ them for a number of electronic applications including but not limited to the strain sensors, electromagnetic interference shielding materials, supercapacitors, and tissue engineering scaffolds. In the present review, first, the distinctive properties of PU as a matrix of conductive composites have been discussed. Then, various carbon fillers loaded into the PU matrixes and their structural and conductive properties have been debated. Thereafter, the fabrication methods of the conductive composites as well as the influential parameters on the electrical properties of the composites have been reviewed to provide an insight into how fulfill a PU composite with the desired electrical performance. And finally, a number of applications of conductive PU composites have been put forward.Highlights Polyurethanes are very capable matrixes for conductive composites. Carbonous fillers can be loaded into the PU matrixes to impart conductivity. Conductive PU composites are employed for a number of electronic applications. Herein, properties, fillers, and applications of PU composites are reviewed.

With ever increasing waste production worldwide, the development of newly emerging technologies is rising and advancing proportionately. Entailed instalment of sophisticated energy-producing plants is constantly expanding to meet the socio-economic demands of communities and industries. Innumerable superior technologies have been introduced to minimise waste pollution while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases hence, combatting the impact of global warming. This review shows energy conversion technologies including gasification, pyrolysis, incineration, landfill, and bioelectrochemical technologies mainly microbial fuel cell (MFC), microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) and microbial electrosynthesis (MES). Traditionally, incineration and landfill are the main mean of waste conversion but not favourable because of their side effects, economic viability, secondary pollution and difficulty in mechanical compression. Recently, biological processes including anaerobic digestion have gained huge interest but possess some inherent drawbacks and cannot provide a comprehensive solution for future waste management. Among energy converting technologies, bio-electrochemical MFC system is highly preferred as an elementary, clean, safe, economically viable and environmentally beneficial technology. MFC a renewable energy technology possesses multidimensional applications of producing electric power and treat wastewater. In addition, the MFCs can be modified into MEC to generate hydrogen energy from various organic matters. Prospective modification recommendations for scale-up application of this technology are also presented.

The paper describes electrogenic features of the plant-microbial fuel cell (PMFC) with various assembling of single cells into a battery. The operation of a single cell and two variants of electric circuit organization: parallel and series connection of PMFC, have been experimentally studied and compared. A potential difference, ~ 70 mV, was measured for a cell without a plant, which disappears with time. This supports the significant role of the plant in PMFC; we put forward a hypothesis of diffusion EMF production by the root system with the participation of electrogenic chemoorganoterotrophic microorganisms. It has been shown that the mean bioelectric potential generated by a single cell is 170 mV. It is increased by only 1.5 times in a series connection of 3 fuel cells. Load current increase is also observed for parallel connection of 3 PMFC, but also only by 1.5 times, and only in the late stages of the plant growth. It is likely that the sum of flowing currents and generated voltages affects the electrogenic reactions in each individual plant and microorganisms in each PMFC and thereby trigger some compensation mechanisms decreasing electrogenic plant features.
