Electroconductive Materials

Alternatively, microfibrils could be produced using materials such as conductive polymers e.g., polyaniline) or carbon nanotubes. 

Enhancement of the oxygen barrier properties of polyolefin films, combined with the improvement of their mechanical properties, is one of the most promising areas of current MFC research. This chapter focuses on both quantitative and qualitative research into the permeability of both MFCs and plain films. It contains explanations of the basic principles of permeability measurement and calculation followed by two investigations into the effects of PET content and drawing ratio. An experimental design provides conclusive evidence regarding the effects of several manufacturing parameters, as well as information on film crystallinity levels and permeability over time. In summary, these should be mentioned

The purpose of the nondestructive control consists in detecting local modifications of the material parameters which, by their presence can endanger the quality of the half-finished or finished products. The electromagnetic nondestructive control permits to render evident surface and subsurface discontinuities in the electroconductive material under test. The present tendency of this control is to pass from a qualitative evaluation (the presence or absence of the material discontinuities which give at the output of the control equipment a signal higher or at least equal to that coming from a standard discontinuity whose shape and severity has been prescribed by the product standards) to a quantitative one, which enables to locate as exactly as possible the discontinuity and to make predictions over its shape and severity. 

Polyacetylene has promise as a polymeric electroconducting material [26-31]. The simplest way to obtain this polymer is by polymerisation of acetylene, although alternative methods involving the metathesis polymerisation of cyclic polyenes are also effective. 

Water purification can be achieved by decomposition or destruction of the pollutant on contact with an electrically charged surface. In several cases permeable electrodes are used in a flow-through mode to ensure contact between the pollutant and the electrode. The type of electrode ranges from metal meshes and carbon cloths to ceramic membrane supports coated with a porous layer of electroconductive material.

ITRI has developed and patented processes for preparing and utilizing stable aqueous colloidal sols of tin(IV) oxide and related materials. These products, which contain nanometer-scale particulate tin oxide, are useful precursors for the synthesis of ceramic bodies, powders, and coatings, and may And application in encapsulated pigments, electroconductive materials, catalysts, and transparent tin oxide Aims on glass and other substrates.

Some applications require cheap electroconductive material based on small silicon particulates of high surface area. Authors of paper (Thakur et al. 2012) report on ultrasonically fiuctured macroporous membranes, mixing silicon particulates (size range 10-50 pm) with pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile and application of the mixture for produeing long life anodes of lithium ion batteries. 

The field of synthetic electroconductive materials has grown considerably in the last decade and this expansion has concerned polymers to a large extent. Conducting polymers are materials constituted by polymeric molecules with high electrical conductivity. In this sense the category includes inorganic (e.g. 

The electrical characteristics of these films can be improved by the incorporation of electroconductive materials such as carbon powder or metal particles into the mixture (Fig. 14b). The electrodes prepared with these additions benefit from the porosity and rigidity of the silica matrix and from the electrical conductivity of the additive [77].
