Preparation, characterization, and electrical properties of ZSM-5/PEG composite particles

Abstract

ZSM‐5/PEG composites were synthesized by a simple solution method with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and H‐ZSM‐5 zeolite (Si/Al = 11.4). The obtained composites were characterized using X‐ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained results indicated that the ZSM‐5 was physically combined with PEG. The thermal properties and thermal stability were investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses. In situ electrical conductivity was used to follow‐up the changes in the electrical conductance during the heating of the ZSM‐5/PEG composite. It was found that ZSM‐5 is able to effectively enhance the electrical conductivity of PEG. The results showed that the obtained weight loss during the composite decomposition to charcoal is accompanied by a decrease in the electrical conductivity. Moreover, the removal of the formed charcoal is associated with an electrical conductivity increase. Calcining the ZSM‐5/PEG composite having a content of 30% results in many effects on the structural, textural, and electrical properties of the obtained products. POLYM.

Novel biologically active polyurea derivatives and its TiO2-doped nanocomposites

“…Recently, some polymers [12][13][14] have received intensive attention because of their wide application range. This work continues our previous studies regarding the preparation of various types of organic polymers and/or polymer nanocomposite materials having interesting properties and thus can find widespread applications in different fields of study [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Graphene oxide/poly(ethylene glycol)/chitosan gel with slow‐release lubrication applied on textured surface

“…The absorption peak at 1105 cm −1 may be assigned to COC groups . In the PEG spectrum, the absorption band at 3420 cm −1 indicates terminal hydroxyl groups, and the adsorption peak at 2883 cm −1 can be assigned to the CH stretching vibrations of CH 2 . The characteristic adsorption band at 1108 cm −1 is attributed to the COC functional group.…”

“…From the TGA curves the temperatures of 10, 25, and 50% weight loss, T 10 , T 25 , and T 50 , were obtained . In addition, from the DTG curves the maximum polymer degradation temperature PDT max were determined . These data, providing the information on the thermal degradation behavior, are also listed in Table .…”
