Title: Formation of a Crack-Free, Hybrid Skin Layer with Tunable Surface Topography and Improved Gas Permeation Selectivity on Elastomers Using Gel–Liquid Infiltration Polymerization

Abstract

Surface modifications of elastomers and gels are crucial for emerging applications such as soft robotics and flexible electronics, in large part because they provide a platform to control wettability, adhesion, and permeability. Current surface modification methods via ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) and/or O2 plasma, atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasmas deposition, and chemical treatment impart a dense polymer or inorganic layer on the surface that is brittle and easy to fracture at low strain levels. This paper presents a new method, based on gel–liquid infiltration polymerization, to form hybrid skin layers atop elastomers. The method is unique in that it allows for control of the skin layer topography, with tunable feature sizes and aspect ratios as high as 1.8 without fracture. Unlike previous techniques, the skin layer formed here dramatically improves the barrier properties of the elastomer, while preserving skin layer flexibility. Furthermore, the method is versatile and likely applicable to most interfacial polymerization systems and network polymers on flat and patterned surfaces.

Command of active and responsive elastomers by topological defects and patterns

Technical Report Lavrentovich, Oleg; Wei, Qi-Huo; Shiyanovskii, Sergij

The project resulted in the development of stimuli-responsive elastomer coatings formed by photopolymerized liquid crystal molecules. The molecular orientation of the liquid crystal elastomers is coupled to rubber-like elasticity. The project developed an approach to produce complex patterns of molecular orientation in elastomers by employing photopatterning technique based on plasmonic metamasks that convert unpolarized incoming light into a transmitted light beam with spatially-varying linear polarization. The polarization-modulated light beam aligns the film of azodye molecules, which serves as the substrate for liquid crystal elastomer coating. The alignment of the azodye molecules follows the polarization pattern with a phase shift ofmore »« less

Optimizing photovoltaic performance in CuInS ₂ and CdS quantum dot-sensitized solar cells by using an agar-based gel polymer electrolyte

Journal Article Raphael, E.; Jara, D.; Schiavon, M. - RSC Advances

Quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) offer new opportunities to address the clean energy challenge, being one of the top candidates for third generation photovoltaics. Like dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), QDSSCs normally use liquid electrolytes that suffer from issues such as evaporation or leakage. In this study a gel polysulfide electrolyte was prepared containing a natural polymer, agar, and was used as a quasi-solid-state electrolyte in solar cells to replace the conventional liquid electrolytes. This gel electrolyte shows almost the same conductivity as the liquid one. The solar cells were fabricated using CuInS₂ quantum dots (QDs), previously synthesized, deposited on TiO₂more »« less

Combining ATRP and FRP Gels: Soft Gluing of Polymeric Materials for the Fabrication of Stackable Gels

Journal Article Beziau, Antoine; de Menezes, Rafael; Biswas, Santidan; ... - Polymers

Stackable gels comprised of layers of dissimilar polymers were synthesized by combining conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using two approaches: (i) polymerization of a pre-gel solution containing a monomer and cross-linker introduced on top of a previously prepared gel, and (ii) simultaneous polymerization of two immiscible pre-gel solutions remaining in contact. All permutations of FRP and ATRP yielded single-piece, connected, amphiphilic gels regardless of the order of polymerization. Furthermore, multi-layer ATRP gels combining different polymers were synthesized with the FRP layer as a gluing agent.

Continuous polymer films deposited on top of porous substrates using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition and molecular layer deposition

Journal Article Welch, Brian; McIntee, Olivia; Ode, Anand; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A

Molecular layer deposition (MLD) is able to produce ultrathin polymer films with control over thickness, cross-linking, and chemical composition. With these capabilities, MLD should be useful in the fabrication of novel polymer membranes on porous supports. However, confining a continuous MLD film to the surface of porous substrates is difficult because of MLD film growth in the pores. The deposition in the pores lowers the conductance of the porous support. This paper presents a method to deposit continuous polymer films on top of porous substrates. In this method, Al2O3 plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) using trimethylaluminum and oxygen plasma asmore »« less
