Uniformly dispersed copper oxide nanoparticles in poly(vinyl alcohol) (CuO-PVA) have been synthesized by the sonochemical method. The properties of the as-prepared composite material are characterized by XRD, DSC, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), TEM, and diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS). A band gap of 2.1 eV is estimated from DRS measurements. The controlled crystal growth of copper oxide has been studied by using the as-prepared CuO-PVA composite as seed for the crystal growth of copper oxide. Well-shaped crystals of 1 µm in length were grown.

“…However, sometimes it is useful to increase their molecular polarity by inserting some functional groups for several specific applications. Also the functionalization of the copolymer matrix with epoxy group and fabricating the blends with metal compounds leads to the formation of a novel conducting materials [4]. Further, the unique properties arise in such nanostructured polymers by incorporating functional groups into polymers via sulfonation.…”

The butadiene units of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (SBS) triblock copolymer were subjected to epoxidation and subsequent sulphonation in order to prepare proton conducting ionomer membrane. The products were characterized by different techniques such as atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and electron microscopy. A simple laboratory device was developed to carry out the tests on proton conductance ability of the prepared ionomer membrane. The experiments demonstrated that the prepared membrane excellently performed as proton conducting membrane.

Conducting polymer films were prepared by introducing ionic groups via chemical modification of one of the blocks of the polystyrene-block-polybutadieneblock-polystyrene (SBS) triblock copolymer and by adding different amount of metal salts into the modified block copolymer. The butadiene part of the copolymer was partially sulphonated to prepare the proton conducting film while the epoxidized form was used to fabricate electron conducting films with different inorganic salts. The products were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and potential as well as conductivity measurements.
