Characterization of Luffa-reinforced Polyaniline Films

Abstract

Herein, Polyaniline (PANI)/polyethylene oxide (PEO) - luffa cylindrica bio-composite films of various mass fractions (%) have been prepared via casting solution of emeraldine base polyaniline and cellulose extracted from luffa. The biopolymer films were structurally and thermally characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fournier Transform-InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry analysis (DSC). Moreover, the electrical properties of conductive biopolymer solutions were measured by using the conductivity meter. According to the obtained results, treated luffa increases the conductivity of biopolymers. XRD results reveal that luffa increases the crystallinity of bio-composite films in comparison to PANI/PEO films. FTIR analysis proved the presence of functional groups of PANI, PEO, and luffa in the film structure. Also, an increase in the weight of luffa in the bio-composite film brings about an increase in the peak intensities of the O-H group. It is determined that luffa enhances the thermal stability of composites via the results of DSC analysis.

Luffa Takviyeli Polianilin Filmlerin Karakterizasyonu

Abstract

Burada, emeraldin bazlı polianilin ve lif kabağından ekstrakte edilen selülozun döküm çözeltisi kullanılarak çeşitli kütle fraksiyonlarına (%) polianilin (PANİ)/polietilen oksit (PEO) - lif kabağı cylindrica biyo-kompozit filmler hazırlanmıştır. Biyopolimer filmler, X-ışını kırınımı (XRD), Fournier Dönüşüm-Kızılötesi (FT-IR) spektroskopisi ve diferansiyel taramalı kalorimetri analizi (DSC) kullanılarak yapısal ve termal olarak karakterize edilmiştir. Ayrıca, iletkenlik ölçer kullanılarak iletken biyopolimer çözeltilerinin elektriksel özellikleri ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, işlenmiş lif kabağı biyopolimerlerin iletkenliğini artırmaktadır. XRD sonuçları, lif kabağının PANI/PEO filmlerine kıyasla biyo-kompozit filmlerin kristalliğini artırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. FTIR analizi, film yapısında PANI, PEO ve lif kabağı fonksiyonel gruplarının varlığını kanıtlamıştır. Ayrıca, biyo-kompozit ince filmdeki lif kabağı ağırlığındaki artış, O-H grubunun pik yoğunluklarında artışa neden olur. Lif kabağının DSC analizinin sonuçlarına göre kompozitlerin termal kararlılığını artırdığı belirlenmiştir.
