Flexible Polymer-on-Polymer Architecture for Piezo/Pyroelectric Energy Harvesting
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 16-04-2015
DOI: 10.1021/AM5089082
Abstract: An all polymer piezo yroelectric device was fabricated using β phase poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as the active material and vapor phase polymerized (VPP) poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiphene) (PEDOT) as the flexible electrode overlay material. Inherent problems usually associated with coating polymeric electrodes onto the low surface energy PVDF were overcome by air plasma treating the film in conjunction with utilizing the VPP technique to simultaneously synthesize and in situ deposit the PEDOT electrode. Strain measurements up to the breaking-strain of PVDF (approximately 35%) indicated that the change in R/Ro was significantly smaller for the PEDOT based electrodes compared to the platinum electrode. Plasma treatment of the PVDF film increased the level of surface oxygenated carbon species that contributed to increased surface energy, as confirmed by confirmed by contact angle measurement. The enhanced adhesion between the two polymers layers contributed to a significant increase in the measured piezoelectric output voltage from 0.2 to 0.5 V for the same strain conditions. Pyroelectric voltage outputs were obtained by placing the film onto and off of a hotplate, for temperatures up to 50 °C above ambient. Finally, as a proof of concept, a simple energy harvesting device (plastic tube with slots for mounting multiple piezo yro films) was fabricated. The device was able to generate a usable level of peak output current (>3.5 μA) from human inhalation and exhalation "waste energy".

Cleaning dirty surfaces: a three-body problem
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 08-07-2016
Abstract: Human interaction with touch screens requires physical touch and hence results in contamination of these surfaces, resulting in the necessity of cleaning. In this study we discuss the three bodies of this problem and how each component contributes and can be controlled. Utilizing a standard fingerprint machine and a standard cleanability test, this study examines the influence of parameters such as the wiping speed and pressure, the material and surface area of the cloths, and the surface energy of the contaminated surfaces. It was shown that fingerprint contamination undergoes shear banding and hence is not easily removed. The degree of material removal depends on the position of the shear plane, which is influenced by surface energies and shear rates.

Semi-metallic polymers
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC

DOI: 10.1038/NMAT3824
Abstract: Polymers are lightweight, flexible, solution-processable materials that are promising for low-cost printed electronics as well as for mass-produced and large-area applications. Previous studies demonstrated that they can possess insulating, semiconducting or metallic properties here we report that polymers can also be semi-metallic. Semi-metals, exemplified by bismuth, graphite and telluride alloys, have no energy bandgap and a very low density of states at the Fermi level. Furthermore, they typically have a higher Seebeck coefficient and lower thermal conductivities compared with metals, thus being suitable for thermoelectric applications. We measure the thermoelectric properties of various poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) s les, and observe a marked increase in the Seebeck coefficient when the electrical conductivity is enhanced through molecular organization. This initiates the transition from a Fermi glass to a semi-metal. The high Seebeck value, the metallic conductivity at room temperature and the absence of unpaired electron spins makes polymer semi-metals attractive for thermoelectrics and spintronics.

Ultrathin Polymer Films for Transparent Electrode Applications Prepared by Controlled Nucleation
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 07-11-2013
DOI: 10.1021/AM403135P
Abstract: The vacuum vapor phase polymerization (VPP) technique is capable of producing conducting polymer films with conductivities up to 3400 S cm(-1). However, the method is not able to produce robust nano-thin films as required for transparent conducting electrode (TCE) applications. We show that with the addition of aprotic solvents or chelating agents to the oxidant mixture, it is possible to control the polymerization rate, and nucleation, in the VPP process. This provides the opportunity of altering the grain size and depositing conducting polymer films with a thickness of 16 to 200 nm with resulting optical transmission within the range 50-98% that are robust enough to endure the post polymerization processing steps. The figure of merit (FoM), which is used to quantify a film's suitability for TCE applications, results in values from 12 to 25. This result indicates that the nano-films outperform most of the previously reported graphene films and approaches the accepted industry standard for TCE applications.

A Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Post-Plasma Reactions in Organosilicone Microwave Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) Coatings
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 23-05-2014
DOI: 10.1021/AM501228Q
Abstract: Plasma-polymerized organosilicone coatings can be used to impart abrasion resistance and barrier properties to plastic substrates such as polycarbonate. Coating rates suitable for industrial-scale deposition, up to 100 nm/s, can be achieved through the use of microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), with optimal process vapors such as tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) and oxygen. However, it has been found that under certain deposition conditions, such coatings are subject to post-plasma changes crazing or cracking can occur anytime from days to months after deposition. To understand the cause of the crazing and its dependence on processing plasma parameters, the effects of post-plasma reactions on the chemical bonding structure of coatings deposited with varying TMDSO-to-O2 ratios was studied with (29)Si and (13)C solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) using both single-pulse and cross-polarization techniques. The coatings showed complex chemical compositions significantly altered from the parent monomer. (29)Si MAS NMR spectra revealed four main groups of resonance lines, which correspond to four siloxane moieties (i.e., mono (M), di (D), tri (T), and quaternary (Q)) and how they are bound to oxygen. Quantitative measurements showed that the ratio of TMDSO to oxygen could shift the chemical structure of the coating from 39% to 55% in Q-type bonds and from 28% to 16% for D-type bonds. Post-plasma reactions were found to produce changes in relative intensities of (29)Si resonance lines. The NMR data were complemented by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Together, these techniques have shown that the bonding environment of Si is drastically altered by varying the TMDSO-to-O2 ratio during PECVD, and that post-plasma reactions increase the cross-link density of the silicon-oxygen network. It appears that Si-H and Si-OH chemical groups are the most susceptible to post-plasma reactions. Coatings produced at a low TMDSO-to-oxygen ratio had little to no singly substituted moieties, displayed a highly cross-linked structure, and showed less post-plasma reactions. However, these chemically more stable coatings are less compatible mechanically with plastic substrates, because of their high stiffness.

Condensation and freezing of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 08-2013
DOI: 10.1016/J.CIS.2013.10.018
Abstract: Superhydrophobic coatings are reported as promising candidates for anti-icing applications. Various studies have shown that as well as having ultra water repellency the surfaces have reduced ice adhesion and can delay water freezing. However, the structure or texture (roughness) of the superhydrophobic surface is subject to degradation during the thermocycling or wetting process. This degradation can impair the superhydrophobicity and the icephobicity of those coatings. In this review, a brief overview of the process of droplet freezing on superhydrophobic coatings is presented with respect to their potential in anti-icing applications. To support this discussion, new data is presented about the condensation of water onto physically decorated substrates, and the associated freezing process which impacts on the freezing of macroscopic droplets on the surface.

Unusual Nature of Fingerprints and the Implications for Easy-to-Clean Coatings
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)

DOI: 10.1021/ACS.LANGMUIR.5B04138
Abstract: Irrespective of the technology, we now rely on touch to interact with devices such as smart phones, tablet computers, and control panels. As a result, touch screen technologies are frequently in contact with body grease. Hence, surface deposition arises from localized inhomogeneous finger-derived contaminants adhering to a surface, impairing the visual/optical experience of the user. In this study, we examined the contamination itself in order to understand its static and dynamic behavior with respect to deposition and cleaning. A process for standardized deposition of fingerprints was developed. Artificial sebum was used in this process to enable reproducibility for quantitative analysis. Fingerprint contamination was shown to be hygroscopic and to possess temperature- and shear-dependent properties. These results have implications for the design of easily cleanable surfaces.

Direct Imaging of Mechanical and Chemical Gradients Across the Thickness of Graded Organosilicone Microwave PECVD Coatings
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 08-01-2014
DOI: 10.1021/AM405143E
Abstract: The characterization of variations in the chemical composition and ensuing mechanical properties across the thickness of coatings with continuously varying compositions through their thickness (graded coatings) presents considerable challenges for current analytical techniques in materials science. We report here the direct imaging of nanomechanical and chemical gradients across cross-sections of an organosilicone coating fabricated via microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Cross-sectional nanoindentation was used to determine the mechanical properties of uniform and graded organosilicone coatings. Both hardness and modulus across the coatings were directly measured. Additionally, "modulus mapping" on cross-sections was used to map the complex modulus. For the graded coating, it was found that variations in the complex modulus was predominantly due to varying storage modulus. It was observed that at the interface with the substrate there was a low storage modulus, which linearly increased to a relatively high storage modulus at the surface. It is proposed that the increase in stiffness, from the substrate interface to the outer surface, is due to the increasing content of a cross-linked O-Si-O network. This mechanical gradient has been linked to a change in the Si:O ratio via direct compositional mapping using ToF-SIMS. Direct mapping of the mechanical and compositional gradients across these protective coatings provides insight into the changes in properties with depth and supports optimization of the critical mechanical performance of PECVD graded coatings.

Parameterizing amylose chain-length distributions for biosynthesis-structure-property relations
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 25-09-2017
DOI: 10.1007/S00216-017-0639-5
Abstract: Amylose, one of the components of starch, is a glucose polymer consisting largely of long, linear chains with a few long-chain branch points. The chain-length (molecular weight) distribution (CLD) of the component chains of amylose can provide information on amylose biosynthesis-structure-property relations, as has been done previously by fitting amylopectin CLDs to a model with physically meaningful parameters. Due to the presence of long chains, the CLD of amylose can currently best be obtained by size-exclusion chromatography, a technique that suffers from band-broadening effects which alter the observed distribution. The features of the multiple regions present in amylose chain-length distributions are also difficult to resolve, an issue that combines with band broadening to compound the difficulty of analysis and subsequent parameterization of the structural characteristics of amylose. A new method is presented to fit these distributions with biologically meaningful parameters in a way that accounts for band broadening. This is achieved by assuming that band broadening takes the form of a simple Gaussian over a relatively small region and that chain stoppage is a random process independent of the length of the substrate chain over the same region these assumptions are relatively weak and expected to be frequently applicable. The method provides inbuilt consistency tests for its applicability to a given data set and, in cases where it is applicable, allows for the first nonempirical parameterization of amylose biosynthesis-structure-property relations from CLDs by using parameters directly linked to the activities of the enzymes responsible for chain growth and chain stoppage. Graphical abstract Model calculation illustrating the method described and showing the ision between the three characteristic regions of a typical amylose chain-length distribution.

Hydrophilic Organic Electrodes on Flexible Hydrogels
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 04-01-2016
Abstract: Prompted by the rapidly developing field of wearable electronics, research into biocompatible substrates and coatings is intensifying. Acrylate-based hydrogel polymers have gained widespread use as biocompatible articles in applications such as contact and intraocular lenses. Surface treatments and/or coatings present one strategy to further enhance the performance of these hydrogels or even realize novel functionality. In this study, the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is deposited from the vapor phase onto hydrated hydrogel substrates and blended with biocompatibilizing coconstituents incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) moieties. Plasma pretreatment of the dehydrated hydrogel substrate modifies its surface topography and chemical composition to facilitate the attachment of conductive PEDOT-based surface layers. Manipulating the vapor phase polymerization process and constituent composition, the PEDOT-based coating is engineered to be both hydrophilic (i.e. to promote biocompatibility) and highly conductive. The fabrication of this conductively coated hydrogel has implications for the future of wearable electronic devices.

Effects of Secondary Dopant Anions on Emissivity and Related Properties of Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 06-2023
Abstract: Smart materials that are energy efficient and take up less space are crucial in the development of new technologies. Electrochromic polymers (ECPs) are one such class of materials that actively change their optical behavior in both visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. They show promise in a wide range of applications, from active camouflage to smart displays/windows. The full capabilities of ECPs are still yet to be explored, for while their electrochromic properties are well established, their Infrared (IR) modulation is less reported on. This study addresses the potential of ECPs in active IR modulating devices by optimization of Vapor Phase Polymerized poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin films via the substitution of its dopant anion. Dynamic ranges denoting emissivity changes between reduced and oxidized states of PEDOT are found across dopants of tosylate, bromide, sulfate, chloride, perchlorate, and nitrate. Relative to the emissivity of reduced (neutral) PEDOT, a range of ±15% is achieved from the doped PEDOT films, and a maximum dynamic range of 0.11 across a 34% change is recorded for PEDOT doped with perchlorate.
