Hyperbranched PAMAM/ Kaolinite Nanocomposites: Decoupling phenomenon and conductivity mechanism
(2018)
Increasing demands of the daily life requires a continuous discovering of new and tailored properties of materials that can be utilized in covering the requirements in several fields. Hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) are macromolecules that are characterized by a highly branched structure and multiplicity of reactive end groups, which could be promising for numerous applications. Here, hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) (HPAMAM)/ Ka nanocomposites was prepared via an in-situ polymerization and an ex-situ method. The latter approach leads to a partly intercalated structure of the nanocomposites, while the former method results in an exfoliated morphology. Α combination of different techniques such as broadband dielectric spectroscopy (DBS), SXAS, FTIR, TEM, and DSC are employed to study the prepared samples. For the HPAMAM/ Ka-DCA nanocomposites (an ex-situ samples), the results indicated that the dc conductivity is increased by 4 orders of magnitude, with increasing concentration of the Ka-DCA. As an interesting result is that a significant decoupling between the characteristic time for conductivity relaxation and the segmental dynamics was observed, which depends on the concentration of the nanofiller. For the HPAMAM/ EDA nanocomposites (an in-situ polymerization), the dc conductivity is also increased with increasing the concentration of the Ka-EDA. The decoupling phenomenon and conductivity mechanism are discussed in detail.
