Authors:Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Pekcan, Önder
Publisher and Date:(Canadian Science Publishing Nrc Research Press, 2010)In this study the effect of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) on film formation behaviour and electrical conductivity properties of polystrene (PS) latex film was investigated by using the photon transmission technique and electrical conductivity measurements. Films were prepared by mixing PS latex with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0 and 20 wt%. After drying MWNT content films were separately annealed above the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PS ranging from 100 ...

Fluorescence quenching method for monitoring oxygen diffusion into PS/CNT composite films
Oxygen permeabilities of nanocomposite films consisting of multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) and polystyrene (PS) were determined to investigate the oxygen diffusion depending on MWNT and temperature. A method which is based on quenching of an excited phosphorescent by oxygen was applied for the measurements. The composite films were prepared from mixtures of (MWNT) and surfactant-free pyrene (P)-labeled (PS) latexes of various compositions at room temperature. These films were then annealed at ...

Fluorescence study of effect of particle size in PS latex/Al2O3 nanocomposite films
Steady state fluorescence and BioUV-Visible techniques were used to study film formation of polystyrene (PS) latex and Al2O3 composites depending on PS particles size and Al2O3 content. Two film series (SmPS/Al2O3 and LgPS/Al2O3) were prepared covering PS sphere (SmPS: 203 nm

Fluorescence study of film formation from PS/Al2O3 nanocomposites
Steady state fluorescence (SSF) and UV-vis (UVV) techniques were used to study the film formation behavior of pyrene (P) labeled polystyrene (PS) latex and Al2O3 (PS/Al2O3) composites depending on PS particles size and Al2O3 content. The close-packed arrays of PS spheres (SmPS: 203 nm ; LgPS: 382 nm) templates on clean glass substrates were covered with various layers of Al2O3 by dip-coating method. Two different film series (SmPS/Al2O3 and LgPS/Al2O3) were prepared in various Al2O3 layer content. ...

Measurement of oxygen diffusion in PS/PNIPAM films using fluorescence quenching
The diffusion of oxygen into pyrene labelled polystyrene (PS) latex/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) composite films (PS/PNIPAM) was studied based on PS content with the use of fluorescence quenching method. Fluorescence experiments were carried out on composite films containing pyrene as a sensor dye. The Stern-Volmer equation for fluorescence quenching is combined with Fick's law for diffusion to derive mathematical expressions. Diffusion coefficients (D) were produced and found to be decreased ...
