Study of fluorescent nanoparticle comprising iron DMAc complex embedded within polyimide matrix

Abstract

Iron complexed with dimethylacetamide (DMAc) was incorporated in variable ultra low concentration in polyimide (PI) at it precursor stage to obtain nanoscopically manipulated metallopolyimide films. The in situ generation of these nanophase structures, their stability within PI matrix, and interaction with its chains was studied using UV-vis spectroscopy. AFM topographic image shows the presence of rock-shaped nano particles, which is produced by the formation of polyamic acid salt of Fe-DMAc complex. Unique fluorescence and improved hydrolytic stability of these metallopolyimide films were due to the formation of nanophase structures. Different photo-physical properties of developed films are attributed to size quantization effect. POLYM. ENG. SCI.,

Structural, thermal, micromechanical and electrical study of polyimide composite thin films incorporating indium tin oxide

“…Polymer composite thin films incorporating metal oxides are of great interest because oxides within polymer matrices display a very wide range of physical and chemical properties for many applications, such as flexible thin‐film solar cells and conducting flexible thin‐film transistors 1–4. The control of inorganic particle size and dispersion of particles within organic matrices using solution synthesis processes is currently a frontier field of research with far‐reaching implications for new technologies 5–7. In previous studies of hybrid composites it was demonstrated that the properties of the polymer matrix are strongly influenced by the presence of inorganic materials 8–11…”
