The impact of the type and amounts of nanofiller on the features of the glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (GMA-co-EGDMA)/organomodified montmorillonite (OMt) nanocomposites that were prepared by in situ radical suspension polymerization, was examined. Cloisite 30B and Cloisite 25A were used in this study as nanofillers, in amounts of 2 and 10 wt.%. The structure, morphology, thermal stability and porosity of the initial GMA-co-EGDMA copolymer and their nanocomposites were examined by ATR-FTIR analysis, wide angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and mercury porosimetry. It has been established that both clay nanofillers were successfully incorporated into the structure of the initial copolymer, simultaneously on their surface and also on cross-sectional area. Prepared samples with 2 wt.% have predominantly exfoliated, while samples with 10 wt.% have some tactoids-aggregates structure of the OMt layers. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that after ~ 30 % of degradation, all nanocomposites become more thermal stable than the initial copolymer. The obtained results indicate that porosity parameters can be easily modified with the addition of clay nanofillers and thus prepared nanocomposites adjusted to specific purposes.

“…The XRD pattern of pure poly(glycidylmethacrylate) has one broad peak at 2 θ = 17.5° which appeared in XRD of both samples and confirmed the amorphous nature of the PGMA. [ 44 ] The XRD pattern proves the presence of copper oxide NPs in the prepared composite. The appearing peaks at 2 θ = 35°, 38°, 48°, 62°, and 68° in accordance with JCPDS No.…”

In recent years, the continuous and uncontrollable presence of drug contaminants and their destructive effects on the environment has been raised as an environmental problem. A large proportion of drug contaminants are related to sedatives. Paracetamol is one of the most widely used sedatives in the world. In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of paracetamol under visible light in the presence of poly(glycidylmethacrylate)@polyaniline/CuO nanocomposite as a photocatalyst was investigated. This prepared nanocomposite was characterized by different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of various parameters such as the amount of photocatalyst, irradiation time, temperature, and pH of the solution was studied on drug degradation. The degradation of paracetamol (PA) was assessed by adding a number of radical scavengers to the solution. More than 99% of paracetamol (10 mg L−1) was degraded under operating conditions in 90 min.

“…A copolymer is a combination of two or more different kinds of monomers formed through polymerization or cross-linking method. Recently, Imperiyka and his research group synthesized a copolymer of poly(glycidyl methacrylate- co -ethyl methacrylate) [P(GMA- co -EMA)] via photopolymerization of 80 wt % GMA and 20 wt % EMA. During the process, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPP) was used as the photoinitiator with the presence of UV radiation under a continuous flow of nitrogen gas for 5 min.…”

Review on the Revolution of Polymer Electrolytes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a suitable replacement for conventional silicon solar cells due to their unique features, such as high energy conversion efficiency and cheap manufacturing cost. The liquid-state DSSCs, however, are poorly sustainable on a long-term basis because volatile liquids are used. The early intention of incorporating polymer into the liquid electrolytes was to curb the problem encountered by liquid electrolytes and enable the DSSCs to function as a long-term stability device. This work briefly reviews how the improvisation has been done on the polymer electrolytes formulation and the extent of how each element can affect the cell efficiency and long-term stability. The role of each component, such as the type of host polymer, iodide salts, nanoparticles, and organic additives that improve the performance of DSSCs, has also been highlighted. This clarified the main purpose of introducing various types of additives into electrolytes to enhance the transport properties as well as the performance of the DSSCs.
