Increased response/recovery lifetimes and reinforcement of Polyaniline Nano‐ fiber Films using Carbon Nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have prepared high surface area, conductive, mechanically robust, responsive polyaniline-carbon nanotune composite films. These were produced by filtration from dilute dispersions of polyaniline nanofibers and single-walled carbon nanotubes. Unlike polyaniline alone, these composites are mechanically stable, maintain large intractable surfaces and exhibit greatly enhanced response/recovery behavior to changes in their local environment. This is illustrated by exposing the films to ammonia.

Hybrids of Polystyrene-b-Poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-b- Polystyrene Reinforced by Electrospun Polyimide/ Carbon Nanotube Nanofibers: Preparation and Properties
Using electrospinning technique, well-aligned poly(azo-ether-imide) (PAEI) nano-fibers and PAEI/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nano-fibers were developed in this effort. Afterwards, polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene-ran-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) and polyimide-based nano-fiber films were casted. The as-prepared electrospun nanofibers acted as homogeneous reinforcement to enhance the tensile...

A fiber coating from polyaniline (PANI) was electrochemically prepared and employed for Solid phase micreoextraction (SPME). The PANI film was directly electrodeposited on the platinum wire surface using cyclic voltametry (CV) technique. The same method was applied for the preparation of SPME fiber coated by polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PANI/MWCNTs) composite. The concentration of ...

Compared to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and more defective multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), the thin few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWNTs) are believed to have extraordinary mechanical properties. However, the enhancement of mechanical properties in FWNTs-polymer composites has remained elusive. In this study, free-standing carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/polymer composite films were fabr...
