Polyaniline samples were polymerized at 0°C and room temperature using a chemical oxidative method with hydrochloric acid as a dopant. Ex-situ polymerization was employed, incorporating polyaniline into κ-carrageenan with glycerol as a plasticizer to produce composite films. These films were characterized by FTIR, electrical conductivity, tensile test and TGA analyses. The addition of polyaniline enhanced the conductivity of pure κ-carrageenan film and improved its thermal stability, although mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus and elongation at break decreased. The antibacterial activity of the films was evaluated using an agar disc diffusion method against Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative P. aeruginosa. Composite film demonstrated optimal antibacterial activity, achieving a 37.3 ± 2.2% against S. aureus after 24 h. The antibacterial mechanism was attributed to electrostatic interactions between cationic N+ from the quinoid structure of polyaniline and anionic bacterial membrane of S. aureus, causing disruption of the bacteria cell. Composite film retained antibacterial activity against S. aureus for up to 48 h. These findings suggest that produced composite films hold potential as wound dressings due to their antibacterial properties.","PeriodicalId":738,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Science, Series A","volume":"66 4","pages":"551 - 566"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated the thermal stability of PBT compared to the degradability of PHBV. The differential scanning calorimetry revealed a decrease in the blend’s melting temperature and enthalpy of fusion compared to pure PHBV, indicating hindered crystallization in the blend.

Thermal properties of composites were investigated by the simultaneous differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimeter and thermal conductive measurement system. The mechanical properties of composites were measured by dynamic mechanic analysis and universal mechanical analysis test systems. The molecular structure changes and crystallinity of composites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The composites microstructure was identified by scanning electron microscopy technique. The electrical conductivity of the composites investigated with the electrical conductivity measurement technique. The addition of CF into the SiC particles improved thermal degradation and mechanical properties of composites according to only SiC loaded PP matrix. The mixture of 3% CF and 47% SiC particle by weight into the PP matrix improved the thermal conductivity of composites almost 40% than the 50% SiC loaded PP.

The content and state of water in membranes have a significant impact on their properties. Therefore, studies of the interaction of membranes with water are relevant and are the subject of many works in the scientific literature. This paper presents data obtained by studying the dynamics and characteristics of water saturation in three types of membranes consisting of ionomers with a long side chain (Nafion and MF-4SK) and a short side chain (Aquivion). The dynamics of hydration were studied using electron spectroscopy in the near ultraviolet and visible regions, differential thermal analysis, and gravimetry. It has been shown that the process of hydration of different membranes occurs in distinct ways, although it has common patterns, the main one of which is the presence of two-stage hydration: 1. rapid water absorption and 2. slow rearrangement of the membrane structure. The values of equilibrium water content in air-dry membranes and their specific moisture capacity are provided.","PeriodicalId":738,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Science, Series A","volume":"66 4","pages":"533 - 542"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A thorough comprehension of the structure-composition-properties relationship in these systems is of paramount importance for the targeted design of new materials. In this paper, we examine the conformational behavior of amphiphilic G2–G4 carbosilane dendrimers with hydroxyl-modified terminal groups in toluene and aqueous solutions through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. By explicitly simulating the solvent, we were able to elucidate the effect of the solvent nature on the distribution of various structural elements, such as branches and terminal groups, inside the dendrimer as a function of generation number. In aqueous solutions, the dendrimers adopt a dense globular conformation with a large fraction of hydroxyl groups concentrated in the periphery and participating in hydrogen bonding with water molecules. In toluene, the dendrimers swell, the solvent uptake reaches 30–40 vol %, which is in good agreement with existing experimental data. In the hydrophobic medium, hydroxyl groups form intramolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in clusters of preferentially linear geometry. The cluster size distribution is very broad and there is a non-zero probability of clusters containing almost all OH groups of the dendrimer. The results obtained are important for a better understanding of the self-assembly and surface activity of amphiphilic dendrimers and for the design of new materials based on them.","PeriodicalId":738,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Science, Series A","volume":"66 4","pages":"447 - 456"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Slight phase separation has been observed at the 50 : 50 and 30 : 70 ratios, reflected in significant broadening of the glass transition regions in the differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis curves. It has been shown that an increase in the content of polyphenylenesulfone leads to an increase in the glass transition temperature and the heat deflection temperature. Furthermore, polyphenylenesulfone has prevented the crystallization of poly(ether ketone ketone), which has been accompanied by an increase in the crystallization temperature and a decrease in the degree of crystallinity. It has been revealed that the introduction of polyphenylenesulfone leads to a gradual decrease in the mechanical parameters measured at low strain, the changes of which have followed the additivity rule. On the contrary, the strain has been more sensitive to the phase structure; it has been significantly decreased upon the appearance of the phase separation, more pronounced at the 50 : 50 composition.","PeriodicalId":738,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Science, Series A","volume":"66 4","pages":"567 - 574"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
