Enhanced optical, thermal and electrical properties of chlorinated natural rubber/zinc ferrite nanocomposites for flexible electrochemical devices

K. Parvathi et al.

Summary: This work investigates the optical, thermal stability, and temperature-dependent electrical properties of chlorinated natural rubber/zinc ferrite nanocomposites. The insertion of zinc ferrite into the rubber matrix leads to a decrease in bandgap energy. The nanocomposites exhibit enhanced thermal stability and electrical properties compared to the parent polymer. Additionally, the conductivity of the nanocomposites shows a non-ohmic behavior, indicating a dynamic relaxation process. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical models, suggesting the presence of interfacial interactions in the nanocomposites. These findings are significant for the development of highly-durable flexible electronic devices, actuators, supercapacitors, and elastomeric pressure sensors.

Furhan et al.

Summary: Conducting polymer nanocomposites based on nickel oxide nanoparticles and poly(diphenylamine) were prepared and characterized in this study. The nanocomposites exhibited magnificent optical properties, thermal stability, high dielectric constant and electrical conductivity. The optimal loading of nickel oxide nanoparticles was found to be 7 wt.%. The presence of crystalline nickel oxide nanoparticles in the poly(diphenylamine) matrix was confirmed by various analysis methods. The dielectric constant and loss tangent decreased with frequency and increased with temperature. The AC conductivity increased with frequency and followed Jonscher's universal power law. The DC conductivity of the composites increased with filler concentration, and the percolation threshold was around 5 wt.%. The experimental DC conductivity values matched the values predicted by the McCullough model.
