Synthesis of metal/poly(diphenylsilylenemethylene) nanocomposite thin films by pulsed laser ablation

Abstract

A new technique to synthesize poly(diphenylsilylenemethylene) (PDPhSM) matrix nanocomposite thin fi lms containing metal nanoparticles such as Ni, Al, Zn, and W produced by pulsed laser ablation has been developed. First, 1,1,3,3-tetra-phenyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane (TPDC) fi lms were deposited on 4 cm 2 silicon substrates cut from c-Si wafers by conventional vacuum evaporation under a pressure of 4.0×10 3 Pa; then metal nanoparticles were deposited onto the TPDC fi lms by pulsed laser ablation; fi nally the TPDC fi lms with metal nanoparticles were heated in an electric furnace in an air atmosphere at 553 K for 10 min to induce ring-opening polymerization of TPDC. The results indicate that it is easy to synthesize metal/ PDPhSM nanocomposite thin fi lms by pulsed laser ablation. The morphologies and size of metal nanoparticles are closely related to the kinds of metal. Also, the polymerization efficiency depends on the kinds of metal nanoparticles deposited on the TPDC monomer fi lms by pulsed laser ablation. In addition, The laser ablated metal nanoparticles penetrate into the TPDC monomer fi lms during pulsed laser ablation while the DC sputtered metal nanoparticles just lay on the surface of TPDC fi lms.

Hydrogen Embrittlement Evaluation and Prediction in Press‐Hardened Steels

“…With increasing temperature, hydrogen is released when enough thermal energy fills the energy gap between the trapping and the diffusion state. [77] The released hydrogen is then detected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer and postprocessed by a central processor to relate the hydrogen desorption signal with the temperature, that is, the hydrogen desorption curve (Figure 1). Integration over time yields the total hydrogen content of the bulk sample.…”

Characterisation of AlN nano thin films prepared by PLD

“…PLD is emerging as a new perspective technique for nanoparticles and thin films deposition, and has been successfully applied to a wide variety of materials [8][9][10][11][12]. Virtually, any material can be deposited using this technique, from pure elements to multicomponents materials.…”
