Synthesis of Blend Polymer (PVA / PANI)/Copper (1) Oxide Nanocomposite: Thermal Analysis and UV-Vis Spectra Specifications

Copper (1) oxide nanoparticles together with matrix polymers of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyaniline (PANI) composite films were synthesized, as these materials are of importance in optoelectronic applications. ‎Nanoparticles of Cu2O were produced by chemical precipitation. Polymerization of aniline was carried out through polymerization in an acidic medium. Structural, thermal, and optical properties of PVA+PANI/Cu2O nanocomposite were inspected by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis spectroscopy). X-ray diffraction peaks at 29.53°, 36.34°, and 42.22° indicated the presence of cuprous oxide nanoparticles, having high dispersions and limited size distributions. The estimated average size of Cu2O nanoparticles was ~ 17.1525 nm. A characteristic peak at around 2θ = 18.5° was attributed to periodical parallel and perpendicular polymer chains, which denoted the formation of PANI. SEM results indicated the symmetrical dispersion of Cu2O nanoparticles inside the hybrid polymer of PVA and PANI matrix, being potentially useful for encapsulation and acting as a good capping agent. FTIR results established the formation of PANI and Cu2O with nanocrystalline nature. DSC results revealed the appearance of one single peak of Tg which decreased with Cu2O content of 4% wt, followed by an increase of that value by increasing Cu2O content up to 16%wt. Thermogram analysis of the PANI and PVA embedded with Cu2O form showed an exothermic peak at (240-292)℃ affiliated to the cross-linking reaction, while the Tm value of prepared nanocomposites is just about close to that of PVA polymer. The results indicated that there is an increase in thermal stability due to the presence of Cu2O NPS within the matrix of polymers. The distinguishing peaks at 330, 347, and 457 nm which refer to PANI are assigned to π−π* electron transitions among the benzenoid rings. The high absorption intensity of the peak at 470 nm for the blended PVA+PANI  having 12% wt of  Cu2O NPS is assigned due to the inter-band transitions for electrons of the core copper as well as copper oxide. This points out that the increasing quantity of Cu2O NPs leads to increases in the amounts of highly oxidized structures in PANI and decreases in the doping electrons and length of conjugation throughout the incorporation of Cu2O NPs into PANI matrix. Depending on the practical results, it can be said that these polymeric nanocomposites can be efficiently used in photovoltaic technology applications.

Density functional theory study of molecular structure, Electronic properties, UV–Vis spectra on coumarin102.

The various properties of the ground and excited electronic states of coumarins 102 using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) was calculated by the B3LYP density functional model with 6-31G(d,p) basis set by Gaussian 09 W program. Spectral characteristics of coumarin102 have been probed into by methods of experimental UV-visible, and quantum chemistry. The UV spectrum was measured in methanol. The optimized structures, total energies, electronic states (HOMO- LUMO), energy gap, ionization potentials, electron affinities, chemical potential, global hardness, softness, global electrophilictity, and dipole moment were measured. We find good agreement between experimental data of UV spectrum and

The optical properties of (PVA+PVP) + PANI blends

Polyaniline polymer has been prepared by chemical oxidation
polymerization method in laboratory successfully. The PANI and
(PVA+PVP) as a polymer blends in different percentage (30%, 50%,
70%) from Polyaniline was prepared. The sample was studies as
optical properties by UV-vis spectrophotometer at (400-700) nm.
The result of optical energy gap was 2.23 eV for pure (PVA+ PVP)
and with additive was increasing with increasing PANI concentration
to become (2.49 for 30% to 2.52 for 70%) PANI. The goal of this
project is prepare triple blend polymer and study the effect when add
conductive polymer (Polyaniline) on the optical properties and
calculate optical constant as energy gap, refractive index, dielectric

Study and Evaluation of Rock Wool Board by using PVA/PU as a Polymer Blend Binder

     The Rock Wool Board (RWB) is widely used in the building exterior insulation all over world. As polymer affects hardening of plate, meaning it acted as a basic binder in this work and gave a smooth texture, ease of carrying and workmanship in different sizes and shapes. PVA was studied at the rates of PVA %4, %5, %6.66, %10, %20, results showed that 6.66% is the best percentage, through tensile and bending tests, this percentage was use with polyurethane with rates of PU 1, 0.5, 0.333, 0.25, 0.2 It is found that the ratio 0.333 is the best ratio to give good mechanical properties of bending, tensile and elongation. This percentage was fixed on different percentages of polymer (PU/PVA) as %2.5, %5, %10, %15, %20 and examinations

Removing of Copper ions from Industrial Wastewater Using Graphene oxide/Chitosan Nanocomposite

     A simple method was used to create a graphene oxide/chitosan (GO/CS) nanocomposite, which was then used in batch experiments to remove copper ions from industrial wastewater under various conditions of initial concentration, adsorbent weight, pH, and contact time. Maximum removal percentage equal to 99.4 % for initial copper ion concentration of 5x10-2 mol/L at pH 6, time 75 min, temperature 25 °C, and adsorbing dose 0.1 g. The pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm adequately fit the experimental results. The process was spontaneous and endothermic, according to thermodynamic studies.
