Conductivity percolation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in polystyrene (PS) latex film
Authors:
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 ...

Diffusion energies of oxygen diffusing into polystyrene (PS)/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) composites
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Diffusion coefficient of oxygen penetrating into polystyrene (PS) latex/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel composite films were measured using Fluorescence technique. Three different (5 15 and 40wt%) PS content films were prepared from PS/PNIPAM mixtures. Diffusivity of PS/PNIPAM composite films were studied by diffusion measurements which were performed over the temperature range of 24-70 degrees C. Pyrene was used as the fluorescent probe. The diffusion coefficients (D) of oxygen ...

Polymer-Ceramic Nanocomposites
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2009)Steady state fluorescence (SSF) and photon transmission (PT) techniques were used for studying film formation from TiO2 and Al2O3 covered polystyrene (PS) latex particles. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures in 10 min time intervals above glass transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Fluorescence emission I-P and transmitted photon I-tr intensities were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Films present dramatic increase in both I-tr and ...
