Abstract:
In this study, poly(acrylic)/silica hybrid thin films were prepared from various acrylic monomers and monodispersed colloidal silica with a coupling agent MSMA. The silica content in the hybrid thin films was varied from 0 to 50 wt%. The experimental results showed that the coverage area of silica particle by the MSMA decreased with increasing silica content and resulted in the aggregation of silica particle in the hybrid films. Thus, the silica domain in the hybrid films was varied from 20 to 35 nm by the different mole ratios of MSMA to silica. The results of SEM, TEM, and EA supported the a

Dielectric response of mesoporous silica films was monitored as a function of several gas-phase chemical species. The effects of humidity, ammonia, and methane on dielectric constant and dissipation factor of films subjected to different chemical treatments are described. Dielectric constant and dissipation factor of partially dehydroxylated films were found to be highly sensitive to both water vapor and ammonia in air. The capacitive devices based on mesoporous silica films show potential for use in chemical sensors.

A series of polyimide/silica (PI–S) and polyimide/organosilica (PI–OS) hybrid films were prepared via a sol–gel process from mixtures of poly(amic acid) (PAA) and tetraethoxysilane or a silane coupling agent in solution. The PAA was synthesized from bis-(3-phthalyl anhydride) ether and 1,4-bis (4-aminophenoxy) benzene. The hybrid films were produced via an imidization reaction to form silica particles or a silica network in a polymer matrix through a programmed heating process. The derived films were characterized and compared by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning

In this paper, the influence of nano-silica on adsorption behavior of solvent in polypropylene packaging is reported. A principle of reducing solvent residue in polypropylene packaging was explored through analyses of changes of crystallization behavior, polarity, and solubility parameters of nano-silica /polypropylene composites. The results showed that the value of solvent residue in modified polypropylene films was reduced about 50%. Therefore nano-silica modified polypropylene films with lower solvent adsorption are in accordance with food safety.

Abstract:
ZnO thin films were prepared on silica glass substrates by a sol–gel spin coating technique. The thickness of the films was about 200 nm. At 370 nm in the ultraviolet region, there is a sharp absorption edge that corresponds to the ZnO intrinsic band gap of 3.30 eV. The structural properties of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction, which demonstrates that the ZnO films were c-axis oriented. From the infrared spectrum, we conclude that ZnO was deposited on silica glass substrates through a high temperature process at 700°C.
