The tribological findings show that the samples with GR tend to have a reduced coefficient of friction (COF) and increased wear scar diameter (WSD), while the samples with FMWCNTs tend to have increased COF and reduced WSD.

To accomplish this goal, EPDM/MBT composites with various GNFs contents (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 phr) were fabricated using a conventional roll mill. Graphite was expanded by heating and subsequently modified using tween 80 surfactant, resulting in the formation of GNFs.

The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a uniform dispersion of GNFs in EPDM/MBT composites, with a concentration up to 6 phr.

Although research has been carried out on both chemical sensors using PANI/polymer composites and chemical sensors with impedimetric/capacitive transduction using PANI composites, there is still a gap in the use of PANI/polymer composites in impedimetric and capacitive transduction platforms for pH sensing. In this study, the influence of composite thin films consisting of PANI and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on the sensitivity and linearity of pH sensors based on electrochemical impedance and capacitance spectroscopy (EIS/ECS) was evaluated. The sensitivity and linearity of the devices showed a dependence on the polymer content. For PANI:PMMA equal to 30:70, the EIS and ECS sensitivity reached 12.6 ± 2.7 and 18.7 ± 4.9 %/pH, respectively, after reaching its minimum value for the 50:50 sample. Similarly, the linearity values for the 30:70 sample were 92.7 % and 99.8 % for EIS and ECS, respectively. We were able to encapsulate the PANI in the PMMA matrix, which improved the control of ion diffusion and analyte access to the active redox quinoid rings on the PANI. As a result, the saturation effect of the polymer was reduced.

As a result, the power factor of optimal PEDOT:PSS with Te fillers and L-ascorbic acid treatment is improved significantly by ∼100 times as compared to that of pristine PEDOT:PSS.
