Core/Shell structures embedded polyaniline nanocomposite for Solar cells
Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of the conducting polyaniline (Pani) films embedded with Co2+ doped, PVA capped PbS/ZnS core-shell particles as photoluminescent boosters is reported. The photoluminescence intensity of the core-shell particles –Pani film had increased significantly.Periodic arrangement of the nanoclusters of the core-shell particles in the continuous conductive polymer matrix and high carrier density promise this material for the photoelectrochemical applications. Solid -state photovoltaic cells have been fabricated with PbS:Co/ZnS-Pani …

Joule Effect Revolutionizing Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites
Abstract: Imagine a world where the materials around us, from the wings of an airplane to thecasing of your smartphone, could repair themselves after damage. No more discarding crackeddevices, no more costly structural repairs, just a material that intelligently mends its ownwounds. This vision, once confined to science fiction, is rapidly becoming a reality, thanks togroundbreaking advancements in the self-healing polymer nanocomposite materials. And at theheart of one of the most …

Self-healing Polymer Nanocomposites study using filler effect
Abstract: Polymers, while versatile, often lack the desired mechanical strength, thermal stability, or barrierproperties for high-performance applications. This limitation is elegantly addressed bycreating polymer nanocomposites. These materials are formed by incorporating small amounts(typically 1-5 wt%) of nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, metaloxide nanoparticles) into a polymer matrix. The magic of nanocomposites lies in the incrediblyhigh surface area-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles and their unique interactions with thepolymer chains. …

Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer-Based Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials viaSol–Gel Processing: A Review of Gelatin–Silica, Gelatin–Silica–Titania and HPMA-Based Systems
Abstract: Organic–inorganic hybrid materials have emerged as a versatile class of advanced materials that integrate the flexibility and functionality of organic polymers with the thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability of inorganic networks. Among the available fabrication routes, the sol–gel process has gained considerable attention because of its simplicity, low processing temperature, compositional flexibility, and ability to tailor material properties at the molecular level. The present review discusses the synthesis and characterization …
