Development and Study of Polymer Nanocomposite Materials containing CuO Nanostructures
Summary:
Polymeric nanocomposite materials are a rapidly developing science and technology area. By "nanocomposite polymers" were combined polymers (matrix) in which are dispersed nanostructures with dimensions of 1-100 nm of any shape, which become due to their composition different properties than the component materials. The nanocomposite polymers, because of their properties and their multifunctionality find application in varied fields such as optoelectronics and microelectronics devices, filters, catalyst systems and photosensitive / radiosensitive materials micro- and nano-devices.
The aim of this thesis was to develop, design and characterization of polymeric nanocomposite materials based on nanostructures of copper oxide (CuO). The work consisted of two main axes. The first axis related to study composition nanostructures copper II oxide (CuO), with controlled morphological characteristics. CuO nanoparticles synthesized by various synthetic methods, to afford nanoparticles with different morphology, and then examined the effect of various parameters of the composition in the finished morphology.
Having achieved the synthesis of different morphological nanoparticles, we focused on the second axis, which involved the development of polymeric matrix composite poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) with dispersed CuO nanoparticles. Mainly investigated the conditions for optimization of the dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymeric matrix, since CuO nanoparticles are dissoluble in most solvents.
In the final stage of work the nanocomposite polymers were incorporated into microelectronic devices, electrical classified for better understanding of their properties and selected devices tested as humidity sensors.
