Book Description
Nanocomposite materials are multiphase materials where the interactions between the different components are enhanced by their intimate contact. Indeed, this emerging class of innovative materials guarantees excellent macroscopic properties by taking advantage of the peculiar characteristics that nanometer-sized fillers give to a suitable matrix compared to those obtainable with the same fillers at micrometric dimensions. These innovative materials improve and extend the range of desirable properties. Diverse Applications of Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposites: Emerging Research and Opportunities s a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of organic-inorganic nanocomposite materials within various professional disciplines and in different human activities. While highlighting topics such as photocatalysis, atomistic modeling, and membrane separation, this publication explores the strengths and weaknesses of nanocomposites as well as future concepts and devices. This book is ideally designed for chemists, biologists, engineers, researchers, government professionals, academicians, and postgraduate students.

Book Description
Polymer composites are materials in which the matrix polymer isreinforced with organic/inorganic fillers of a definite size andshape, leading to enhanced performance of the resultant composite.These materials find a wide number of applications in such diversefields as geotextiles, building, electronics, medical, packaging,and automobiles. This first systematic reference on the topic emphasizes thecharacteristics and dimension of this reinforcement. The authors are leading researchers in the field from academia,government, industry, as well as private research institutionsacross the globe, and adopt a practical approach here, coveringsuch aspects as the preparation, characterization, properties andtheory of polymer composites. The book begins by discussing the state of the art, new challenges,and opportunities of various polymer composite systems. Interfacialcharacterization of the composites is discussed in detail, as isthe macro- and micromechanics of the composites. Structure-propertyrelationships in various composite systems are explained with thehelp of theoretical models, while processing techniques for variousmacro- to nanocomposite systems and the influence of processingparameters on the properties of the composite are reviewed indetail. The characterization of microstructure, elastic,viscoelastic, static and dynamic mechanical, thermal, tribological,rheological, optical, electrical and barrier properties arehighlighted, as well as their myriad applications. Divided into three volumes: Vol. 1. Macro- and Microcomposites;Vol. 2. Nanocomposites; and Vol. 3. Biocomposites.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Organic - Inorganic Nanocomposites For Organic Optoelectronic Devices Submitted by Oey Ching Ching for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in August 2005 Interest has been growing in the past few years in incorporating inorganic nanostructures into organic optoelectronic devices. These hybrid organic - inorganic nanocomposite systems are being studied more closely because it is possible to combine the desirable characteristics of organic and inorganic components within a single composite and their properties can be easily changed by varying the material composition, shape of the nanostructures, and concentration and size of the nanoparticles in the composites to match the device requirement. More importantly, they can retain the fabrication advantages of organic devices, i.e., easy processing, low production and material cost, and manufacture of devices on large and flexible substrates, which are very important factors for application and commercialization purposes. Therefore, developing improved performance in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells by incorporating inorganic nanostructures in the organic materials has become an important topic of research. For OLEDs, modification of the commonly used indium tin oxide (ITO) anode is an active research area because bare ITO has a number of shortcomings. Different buffer layers on top of ITO have been reported to be useful in enhancing the device performance. In this work, blends of poly(3,4, -ethylene dioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT: PSS) polymer and different inorganic nanostructures: Ni nanoparticles, Cu nanoparticles, NiO nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated as the hole injection layers respectively for OLEDs based on a tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq )/ 3N, N-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N, N-diphenyl-benzidine (NPB) system. These novel nanocomposite OLEDs with different concentrations of inorganic nanostructures were fabricated and characterized by electroluminescence and current-voltage measurements. Experimental results showed that the addition of Ni nanoparticles and SWCNTs (with appropriate surfactants used in dispersing SWCNTs) resulted in improved OLED performance for optimized nanoparticle concentration compared to the devices with pure PEDOT: PSS. The PEDOT: PSS: Ni and PEDOT: PSS: SWCNTs layers were characterized by atomic force microscopy, absorption measurements and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The reasons for the improved OLED performance are also discussed. For organic solar cells, with the control of the nanostructure morphology, metal oxides are believed to act as promising alternatives as the electron acceptor and transporter in bulk-heterojunction device structure. In this work, bulk-heterojunction solar cells based on poly (2-methoxy-5-(2''-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) and a highly porous TiO layer consisting of a 3D interconnected network of anatase crystallites were fabricated and characterized by white light efficiency and external quantum efficiency measurements. The influence of different treatments on ITO/porous TiO substrates and the use of different solvents for 2 spin-coating MEH-PPV, MEH-PPV layer thickness and device architecture on the solar cell device performance were studied. It was found that the optimized device structure is ITO/TiO (compact, 20 nm)/Ti
