A simultaneous synthesis of white poly(dibromophenylene oxide) (P) or yellow radical ion polymer (RIP) and black conducting polymer (CP) were achieved from potassium 2,4,6-tribromophenolate by microwave energy in a very short time. Polymerizations were carried out (i) under constant microwave energy and constant amount of water with different time intervals ranging from I to 7 min or (ii) at constant time intervals and constant amount of water with variation of microwave energy ranging from 70 to 900 watt or (iii) at constant time intervals and constant microwave energy with changing amount of water ranging from 0.5 to 5 mL. The synthesis of P and CP were achieved in 3 min at 70 watt and in I min in the range of 180-900 watt in 0.5 mL water whereas RIP was only achieved either at 70 or 350 watt in 17 or 25 min and in 0.5 or 5 mL water. The optimum conditions for synthesis of P, RIP and CP were for (i) 350 watt for 3 min in 5 mL water, for (ii) 350 watt for 25 min in 5 mL water and for (iii) 500 watt for I min in 0.5 mL water with maximum values of 39.2, 35.0 and 27.9%, respectively. RIP was synthesized only at 70 watt in 17 min and at 350 watt in 3 min, having maximum conversion value of 35.0%. The polymers were characterized via elemental analysis, FT-IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, DSC, TGA-FTIR, ESR, SEM conductivity measurement and Light Scattering. Polymerizations of P and RIP were proceeding though both 1,2- and 1,4-addition at equal rates having a branch structure and their molecular weights were 8.1 x 10(4) g/mol and 1.2 x 10(4) g/mol respectively. P and RIP were rigid polymers having high T(g) values. The synthesis of conducting polymer, with the conductivity of 1.34 S cm(-2) was achieved in the absence of doping process.

Yesil, Sertan; Bayram, Göknur (Wiley, 2011-07-01)
Surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were functionalized by treatment with strong acid mixture (purification) followed by modification with sodium dodecyl sulfate, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA). Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-based conductive polymer composites were prepared by using these CNT by means of melt mixing with a twin screw extruder. Amount of carboxylic acid groups on the CNT surface increased after acid treatment but decreased with surfac...

A new polythiophene derivative was synthesized by both chemical and electrochemical oxidative polymerization of 1-(1-phenylethyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (PETPy). Of which the chemical method produces a polymer that is completely soluble in organic solvents. The structures of both the monomer and the soluble polymer were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 and C-13 NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The average molecular weight has been determined by gel permeation chrom...
Electropolymerization of a New 4-(2,5-Di-2-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-Tetra Substituted Nickel Phthalocyanine Derivative

A new tetrakis 4-(2,5-di-2-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl) substituted nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc-SNS) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), and UV-vis spectroscopies. The electrochemical polymerization of this newly synthesized NiPc-SNS was performed in dichloromethane (DCM)/tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) solvent/electrolyte couple. An insoluble film was deposited on the electrode surface, both during repetitive cycling and constant potential electr...
Studies on the modification of interphase/interfaces by use of plasma in certain polymer composite systems
Akovali, G; Dilsiz, N (Wiley, 1996-04-01)
Calcium carbonate and carbon fiber surfaces were modified by use of a series of plasma polymers at different selected plasma conditions, and the effect of surface modification, mainly on the mechanical properties of composite systems prepared, was investigated. The matrices for the composite systems employed were polypropylene and epoxy, for the chalk and C fiber, respectively. Mechanical and thermal studies and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures revealed that inclusion surfaces, being independent ...
