Synthesis and Electro-Response Activity of Porous Polypyrrole/Silica-Titania Core/Shell Nanoparticles.
Langmuir : the ACS Journal of Surfaces and Colloids 2018 December 4
Inverted conducting polymer/metal oxide core/shell structured pPPy/SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared as electrorheological (ER) materials using sequential experimental methods. The core was synthesized via low-temperature self-assembly of PPy and SiO2 materials, and the outer TiO2 shell was easily coated onto the core part using a sol-gel method and a titanium isopropoxide precursor. Sonication-mediated etching and re-deposition was employed to etch out SiO2 portions from the core part to blend with TiO2 shells. Each step in nanoparticle synthesis involved morphological and physical changes to the surface area and porosity, with subsequent changes in the intrinsic properties of the materials; specifically, the electrical conductivity and dielectric properties were successfully altered. The final pPPy/SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticle configuration was optimized for ER applications, offering a low electrical conductivity, high dielectric properties, and increased dispersion stability. pPPy/SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited a 24.7- and 2.7-fold enhancement in ER performance compared with PPy-SiO2 and PPy-SiO2/TiO2 precursor nanoparticles, respectively. The versatile method proposed in this study for the synthesis of inverted conducting polymer/metal oxide core/shell nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of custom-designed ER materials.
