Synthesis and characterization of core‐shell SiO₂ nanoparticles/poly(3‐aminophenylboronic acid) composites

Abstract

SiO 2 /Poly(3-aminophenylboronic acid) (PAPBA) composites were synthesized under different experimental conditions, using ultrasonic irradiation method. Polymerization was carried out in the presence of sodium fluoride and D-fructose to anchor 3-aminophenylboronic acid groups on to SiO 2 surface. The SiO 2 /PAPBA nanocomposite prepared by NaF and D-fructose in the polymerization medium was found to show different morphology, electrical properties, thermal behavior and structural characterization in comparison to the nanocomposites prepared under other conditions. Ultrasonic irradiation minimizes the aggregation of nanosilica and promotes anchoring of PAPBA units over SiO 2 surface. The morphology of PAPBA/ SiO 2 nanocomposite was investigated by using transmission electron microscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy; thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis were used for characterization. Transmission electron microscope of the nanocomposites observation shows that SiO 2 /PAPBA composite, prepared with D-fructose and NaF under ultrasonication has a core-shell morphology. The thermal and crystalline properties of core-shell SiO 2 /PAPBA nanocomposite was prepared via ultrasonication method is different from the SiO 2 /PAPBA nanocomposite prepared via conventional stirring method, in which SiO 2 nanoparticles are submerged in PAPBA. Conductivity of the composite prepared via ultrasonication shows around 0.2 S/cm.

Microwave‐assisted chemical synthesis of conducting polyindole: Study of electrical property using Schottky junction

“…[13][14][15][16] Conducting polymers and its composite have been synthesized in various ways chemically and electrochemically at room temperature. For example, conducting polymers like polyaniline, polypyrrole, polycarbazole, and its composite have been synthesized using multiwalled carbon nanotubes, 17 metal oxide, 18,19 metal nanoparticles, [20][21][22][23] and its properties has been studied. A part of these, polyindole (PIn) is one of the heterocyclic conducting polymers having excellent electrical properties with the advantage of straightforward synthesis, good environmental stability, and high processability.…”

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of a waterborne polyurethane–acrylic hybrid polymeric dye

“…The elaboration of hybrid materials is also of increasing interest, because the resulting materials most often possess properties which are superior to their individual components as compared to those of the individual polymers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. So, the hybrid of polyurethane-based dyes and polyacrylic dyes could achieve complementary advantages and overcome the shortcomings of each other.…”

Preparation and characterization of polyurethane/POSS hybrid aqueous dispersions from mono-amino substituted POSS

“…Composites made of graphite oxide (m-GO), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) etc. nano sized particles and polymers are widely believed to offer the potential for the design of novel or at least improved materials [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
