Influence of electrochemical copolymerization conditions of 3‐methylthiophene and biphenyl on the morphology and nanomechanical properties of the films

Abstract: The aim of this work is to synthesize novel 3-methylthiophene (3MTh)/biphenyl (Biph) copolymer films by electropolymerization and study their mechanical properties through nanoindentation. The morphology, the chemical structure as well as the electrical conductivity of the copolymer films depended strongly on the electropolymerization conditions. It was found that the polymer deposition follow an instantaneous, two-dimensional nucleation and growth mechanism leading to homogenous films. The copolymer films had… Show more

“…After grafting, the carbon fibers were engulfed by epoxy resin, the strong interlocking of fiber-matrix bonding could be observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the interlaminar shear strength value of composites was enhanced by 17.3%. More recently, Despina Triantou et al 8 synthesized 3-methylthiophene/biphenyl copolymer by electrochemical polymerization and studied their mechanical properties. It was found that copolymer had higher Young modulus and nanohardness than poly(3-methylthiophene) and also indicated that the incorporation of biphenyl leaded to a more densely packed structure and a more brittle polymer.…”
