STRUCTURAL AND IONIC CONDUCTIVITYSTUDIES ONPLASTICIZED PAN-SODIUM FLUORIDE POLYMER ELECTROLYTES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL APPLICATIONS
Ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes based on poly acrylonitrle (PAN) complexed with different weight percent ratios of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) salt were prepared by using solution cast technique. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscope technique. From the X-rd results increase in amorphous phase with...
متن کاملA New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization
In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...
متن کاملA theoretical model for analysis of ionic polymer metal composite sensors in fluid environments
By the past two decades IPMCs have been intensively studied because of their special capabilities for actuation and sensing.This paper presents a theoretical physics based model for analyzing the behavior of IPMC sensors in fluid environments. The mechanical vibration of the IPMC strip is described by the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The model also takes in to account the physical pro...
متن کاملSynthesis and Physicochemical Properties of Cationic Microgels Based on Poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide).
Surfactant-free, radical precipitation co-polymerization of N-isopropylmethacrylamide (NIPMAm) and the cationic co-monomer N-(3-aminopropyl) methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMH) was carried out to prepare microgels functionalized with primary amines. The morphology and hydrodynamic diameter of the microgels were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photon correlation spectroscopy (...
متن کاملVerifying the accuracy of dose distribution in Gamma Knife unit in presence of inhomogeneities using PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter and MC simulation
Background: Polymer gel dosimetry is still the only dosimetry method for direct measuring of threedimensional dose distributions. MRI Polymer gel dosimeters are tissue equivalent and can act as a phantom material. In this study the obtained isodose maps with PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter were compared to those calculated with EGSnrs for singleshot irradiations of 8 and 18 mm collimators of...
