[PMID: 39027581 PMCID: PMC11255519 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Recent advancements in polymer science and engineering underscore the importance of creating sophisticated soft materials characterized by well-defined structures and adaptable properties to meet the demands of emerging applications. The primary objective of polymeric composite technology is to enhance the functional utility of materials for high-end purposes. Both the inherent qualities of the materials and the intricacies of the synthesis process play pivotal roles in advancing their properties and expanding their potential applications. Polypyrrole (PPy)-based composites, owing to their distinctive properties, hold great appeal for a variety of applications. Despite the limitations of PPy in its pure form, these constraints can be effectively overcome through hybridization with other materials. This comprehensive review thoroughly explores the existing literature on PPy and PPy-based composites, providing in-depth insights into their synthesis, properties, and applications. Special attention is given to the advantages of intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and PPy in comparison to other ICPs. The impact of doping anions, additives, and oxidants on the properties of PPy is also thoroughly examined. By delving into these aspects, this overview aims to inspire researchers to delve into the realm of PPy-based composites, encouraging them to explore new avenues for flexible technology applications.

Iron Sulfide Microspheres Supported on Cellulose-Carbon Nanotube Conductive Flexible Film as an Electrode Material for Aqueous-Based Symmetric Supercapacitors with High Voltage. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:26582-26595. [PMID: 38911739 PMCID: PMC11191093 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Nanostructured iron disulfide (FeS2) was uniformly deposited on regenerated cellulose (RC) and oxidized carbon nanotube (CNT)-based composite films using a simple chemical bath deposition method to form RC/CNT/FeS2 composite films. The RC/CNT composite film served as an ideal substrate for the homogeneous deposition of FeS2 microspheres due to its unique porous architecture, large specific surface area, and high conductivity. Polypyrrole (PPy), a conductive polymer, was coated on the RC/CNT/FeS2 composite to improve its conductivity and cycling stability. Due to the synergistic effect of FeS2 with high redox activity and PPy with high stability and conductivity, the RC/CNT/FeS2/PPy composite electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The RC/CNT/0.3FeS2/PPy-60 composite electrode tested with Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte could achieve an excellent areal capacitance of 6543.8 mF cm-2 at a current density of 1 mA cm-2. The electrode retained 91.1% of its original capacitance after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the ion transfer channels with a pore diameter of 5-30 μm were formed in the RC/CNT/0.3FeS2/PPy-60 film after a 10,000 cycle test. A symmetrical supercapacitor device composed of two identical pieces of RC/CNT/0.3FeS2/PPy-60 composite electrodes provided a high areal capacitance of 1280 mF cm-2, a maximum energy density of 329 μWh cm-2, a maximum power density of 24.9 mW cm-2, and 86.2% of capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles at 40 mA cm-2 when tested at a wide voltage window of 1.4 V. These results demonstrate the greatest potential of RC/CNT/FeS2/PPy composite electrodes for the fabrication of high-performance symmetric supercapacitors with high operating voltages.

Abstract
Biosensors are increasingly taking a more active role in health science. The current needs for the constant monitoring of biomedical signals, as well as the growing spending on public health, make it necessary to search for materials with a combination of properties such as biocompatibility, electroactivity, resorption, and high selectivity to certain bioanalytes. Conducting polymer hydrogels seem to be a very promising materials, since they present many of the necessary properties to be used as biosensors. Furthermore, their properties can be shaped and enhanced by designing conductive polymer hydrogel-based composites with more specific functionalities depending on the end application. This work will review the recent state of the art of different biological hydrogels for biosensor applications, discuss the properties of the different components alone and in combination, and reveal their high potential as candidate materials in the fabrication of all-organic diagnostic, wearable, and implantable sensor devices.

Abstract
In this study, a methacrylic gelatin/oxidized dextran/montmorillonite‑strontium/polypyrrole (GOMP) hydrogel was prepared. The GOMP hydrogel had dual network structure which was formed through photoinitiator-initiated double bond polymerization and Schiff base reaction. The network structure led to a sustained release of the antitumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX). Polypyrrole introduced the conductivity and high photothermal conversion capacity to the GOMP hydrogel, which showed a photothermal conversion efficiency of 31.61 % under 808 nm laser radiation. The GOMP hydrogel had good swelling properties in solvents. Further study showed that the GOMP hydrogel had good biocompatibility and excellent biodegradability in vitro and in vivo. The experiments of in vitro tumor therapy and in vivo anti-tumor recurrence indicated that the DOX-loaded GOMP hydrogel had synergistic effects on tumor cell apoptosis based on chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. In addition, montmorillonite‑strontium (MMT-Sr) doped in the hydrogel not only improved the mechanical properties of the hydrogel but also promoted potential bone regeneration. The multifunctional DOX-loaded GOMP hydrogel with bone regeneration, photothermal therapy, and chemotherapy functions has great potential application for treating osteosarcoma.

Spatiotemporal Temperature Distribution of NIR Irradiated Polypyrrole Nanoparticles and Effects of pH. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14153151.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal temperature distributions of NIR irradiated polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPN) were evaluated by varying PPN concentrations and the pH of suspensions. The PPN were synthesized by oxidative chemical polymerization, resulting in a hydrodynamic diameter of 98 ± 2 nm, which is maintained in the pH range of 4.2–10; while the zeta potential is significantly affected, decreasing from 20 ± 2 mV to −5 ± 1 mV at the same pH range. The temperature profiles of PPN suspensions were obtained using a NIR laser beam (1.5 W centered at 808 nm). These results were analyzed with a three-dimensional predictive unsteady-state heat transfer model that considers heat conduction, photothermal heating from laser irradiation, and heat generation due to the water absorption. The temperature profiles of PPN under laser irradiation are concentration-dependent, while the pH increase only induces a slight reduction in the temperature profiles. The model predicts a value of photothermal transduction efficiency (η) of 0.68 for the PPN. Furthermore, a linear dependency was found for the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) and η with the suspension temperature and pH, respectively. Finally, the model developed in this work could help identify the exposure time and concentration doses for different tissues and cells (pH-dependent) in photothermal applications.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels are potential materials for fabricating wearable strain sensors owing to their excellent mechanical properties and high conductivity. However, it is a challenge to simultaneously enhance the mechanical properties and conductivity of hydrogels. Herein, a simple strategy was proposed for concurrently enhancing the mechanical properties and conductivity of the wearable hydrogel sensors by introducing carboxymethyl starch sodium (CMS). The introduction of CMS not only dramatically enhanced the mechanical performance of the hydrogel due to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction, but also improved the conductivity of the hydrogel owing to the existence of sodium ions. As a result, the hydrogel sensors with excellent durability and stability could repeatedly detect and distinguish various human activities, including walking, chewing and speaking. Meanwhile, multiple sensors are also assembled into a 3D sensor array for detecting the three-dimensional distribution of stress and strain. Moreover, the peaks of EMG signals and the waveforms of ECG signals could be recorded because the hydrogel sensor presented super sensitivity and fast response. Therefore, the multifunctional hydrogel presented remarkable potential for applications in human medical diagnosis, health monitoring and artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Purpose Enhancement of the photodynamic/photothermal efficiency of two water-soluble dyes, rose bengal (RB) and eosin yellow (EY), via conjugation to a polymeric nano-system gold-polypyrrole nanoparticle (AuPpy NPs). Methodology A multi-step synthesis method and an in situ one-pot synthesis method were used. Loading percentage, particle size, zeta potential, morphology, UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry and in vitro photothermal activity were measured. Then, both hybrid nanocomposites were examined for their cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity on HepG2 cell line as a model for cancer cells. Results Dyes loaded in the traditional multi-step method did not exceed 9% w/w, while in the one-pot synthesis method they reached ~67% w/w and ~75% w/w for EY-AuPpy NPs and RB-AuPpy NPs, respectively. UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry showed that both nano-systems exhibited intense absorption in the NIR region. The mean size of the nanoparticles was ~31.5 nm (RB-AuPpy NPs) and ~33.6 nm (EY-AuPpy NPs) with zeta potential values of −26.5 mV and −33 mV, respectively. TEM imaging revealed the morphology of both hybrids, showing ultra-nano spherical-shaped gold cores in the case of RB-AuPpy NPs, and different shapes of larger gold cores in the case of EY-AuPpy NPs, both embedded in the polymer film. Conjugation to AuPpy was found to significantly reduce the dark cytotoxicity of both RB and EY, preserving the photocytotoxicity of EY and enhancing the photocytotoxicity of RB. Conclusion Gold-polypyrrole nanoparticles represent an effective delivery system to improve the photodynamic and photothermal properties of RB and EY. The in situ one-pot synthesis method provided a means to greatly increase the loading capacity of AuPpy NPs. While both hybrid nanocomposites exhibited greatly diminished dark cytotoxicity, RB-AuPpy NPs showed significantly enhanced photocytotoxicity compared to the free dyes. This pattern enables the safe use of both dyes in high concentrations with sustained action, reducing dose frequency and side effects.

Abstract
We used an in situ chemical oxidation method to prepare a new composite of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with polypyrrole (PPy), whose properties were optimized through a 23-factorial design of the synthesis conditions. The successful formation of the AgNPs/PPy composite was confirmed by UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopies. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of AgNPs smaller than 100 nm, dispersed into the PPy matrix. This hybrid composite exhibits a blue fluorescence emission after excitation in the ultraviolet region. In MTT assays, the AgNPs/PPy composite exhibited low cytotoxicity toward non-tumoral cell lines (fibroblast, Vero, and macrophages) and selectively inhibited the viability of HeLa cells. The AgNPs/PPy composite induces ultrastructural changes in HeLa cells that are consistent with the noticeable selectivity exhibited toward them when compared to its action against non-tumoral cell lineages. Also, the AgNPs/PPy exhibited a hemolytic activity below 14% for all blood groups tested, at concentrations up to 125 μg/mL. These results suggest that the AgNPs/PPy composite has a promising potential for use as an antitumoral agent.

Abstract
The outstanding versatility of graphene for surface functionalization has been exploited by its decoration with synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles (NPs). A green, facile, and easily scalable for mass production nanocomposite development was proposed, and the resulting PPy@Graphene was implemented in chemoresistive gas sensors able to detect trace levels of ammonia (NH3) under room-temperature conditions. Gas exposure for 5 min revealed that the presence of nanoparticles decorating graphene entail greater sensitivity (13-fold) in comparison to the bare graphene performance. Noteworthy, excellent repeatability (0.7% of relative error) and a low limit of detection of 491 ppb were obtained, together with excellent long-term stability. Besides, an extensive material characterization was conducted, and vibration bands obtained via Raman spectroscopy confirmed the formation of PPy NPs, while X-ray spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the relative abundance of the different species, as polarons and bipolarons. Additionally, XPS analyses were conducted before and after NH3 exposure to assess the PPy aging and the changes induced in their physicochemical and electronic properties. Specifically, the gas sensor was tested during a 5-month period, demonstrating significant stability over time, since just a slight decrease (11%) in the responses was registered. In summary, the present work reports for the first time the use of PPy NPs decorating graphene for gas-sensing purposes, revealing promising properties for the development of unattended gas-sensing networks for monitoring air quality.

Abstract
Electrically conductive 3D periodic microscaffolds are fabricated using a particle-free direct ink writing approach for use as neuronal growth and electrophysiological recording platforms. A poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA)/pyrrole ink, followed by chemical in situ polymerization of pyrrole, enables hydrogel printing through nozzles as small as 1 μm. These conductive hydrogels can pattern complex 2D and 3D structures and have good biocompatibility with test cell cultures (~94.5% viability after 7 days). Hydrogel arrays promote extensive neurite outgrowth of cultured Aplysia californica pedal ganglion neurons. This platform allows extracellular electrophysiological recording of steady-state and stimulated electrical neuronal activities. In summation, this 3D conductive ink printing process enables preparation of biocompatible and micron-sized structures to create customized in vitro electrophysiological recording platforms.

Abstract
The quality of polyaniline nanoparticles (PANI NPs) synthesized in plasma polymerization depends on the discharge characteristics of a solution plasma process (SPP). In this paper, the low temperature dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is introduced to minimize the destruction of aniline molecules induced by the direct current (DC) spark discharge. By adopting the new electrode structure coupled with a gas channel, a low temperature DBD is successfully implemented in a SPP, for the first time, thus inducing an effective interaction between the Ar plasma and aniline monomer. We examine the effects of a low temperature DBD on characteristics of polyaniline nanoparticles synthesized by a SPP with an Ar gas bubble channel. As a result, both carbonization of aniline monomer and erosion of the electrode are significantly reduced, which is confirmed by analyses of the synthesized PANI NPs.

Easily Synthesized Polyaniline@Cellulose Nanowhiskers Better Tune Network Structures in Ag-Based Adhesives: Examining the Improvements in Conductivity, Stability, and Flexibility. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9111542. [PMID: 31671586 PMCID: PMC6915529 DOI: 10.3390/nano9111542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2019] [Revised: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
It is essential to develop a novel and versatile strategy for constructing electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) that have superior conductivity and high mechanical properties. In this work, easily synthesized polyaniline@cellulose (PANI@CNs) nanowhiskers with a high aspect ratio and excellent solubility in 1,4-dioxane were prepared and added to conventional Ag-containing adhesives. A small amount of PANI@CNs can dramatically tune the structure of the ECAs’ conductive network and significantly improve the conductivity of the ECAs. Good solubility of PANI@CNs in solvents brings excellent dispersion in the polymer matrix. Thus, a three-dimensional (3D) conducting network formed with dispersed PANI@CNs and Ag flakes can enhance the conductivity of ECAs. The conductivity of the ECAs (with 1.5 wt% PANI@CNs and 55 wt% Ag flakes) showed three orders of magnitude higher than that of the ECAs filled with 55 wt% Ag flakes and 65 wt% Ag flakes. Meanwhile, the integration of PANI@CNs with Ag flakes in polymer matrices also significantly enhanced the mechanical compliance of the resulted ECAs. The resistivity remained unchanged after rolling the PANI@CNs-containing ECAs’ film into a 4 mm bending radius for over 1500 cycles. A bendable printed circuit was fabricated using the above PANI@CNs-containing ECAs, which demonstrated their future potential in the field of flexible electronics.

Abstract
Electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) are one of the low temperature bonding materials. It can be used to replace toxic Sn-Pb solder. The key issue for the application of ECAs is how to improve their electrical properties. In the present study, we develop an effective method to promote the electrical properties of ECAs by addition of polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles. PANIs were synthesized via a facile one-step chemical oxidative polymerization method. After adding 0.5 wt% PANI nanoparticles, the conductivity of ECAs increased dramatically by an order of magnitude. The bulk resistivity of 8.8 × 10−5 Ω·cm is achieved for 65 wt% silver fillers with 0.5 wt% PANIs loaded ECAs. Besides, this improvement has no negative effect on the shear strength and the aging life of ECAs. Moreover, the use of PANIs not only lowers the percolation threshold of ECAs, but also reduces the cost and improves the bonding reliability. Finally, PANIs enhanced ECAs patterns were successfully printed by a stencil printing method, which proved their potential applications in replacing conventional solder pastes and printing functional circuits.

Abstract
In this study, a simple solution-mixing method is used to develop a kind of excellent flexible, electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs). Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon blacks (CBs) as cofillers were added into Ag-based pastes. The use of the two fillers is due to the consideration that these two materials may provide positive synergistic effects for improving the conductivity of ECAs. The conductivity, flexibility, cyclability, and oxidation resistance of ECAs with different contents of carbon fillers were studied. It was found that a small amount of CNTs or CBs can dramatically improve the ECAs' conductivity. Solution-mixing method brings excellent carbon nanofiller dispersion in polymer matrix. Highly dispersed CNTs and CBs among the Ag flakes formed three-dimensional conducting networks to improve the conductivity of ECAs. The conductivity of ternary hybrid ECAs (with addition of 3 wt % CNTs and 2 wt % CBs) with a low content of 55 wt % Ag flakes is higher than that of the ECAs filled with only the Ag content over 65 wt %. Meanwhile, by selecting thermoplastic polyurethane resin as the matrix, the ECAs exhibited excellent mechanical compliance. The resistivity did not change when the ECAs were bended at a 60% flexural strain or pressed under 1200 kPa. Additionally, the adhesion strength of the new composited ECAs is better than that of a commercial ECA (Abletherm 3188). Further, no obvious conductivity change was observed when the sample was stored in ambient air condition at 80 °C and 60% relative humidity (60%) for 15 days.
