Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to collecting recent research on and developments in functional polymers with special photo and electronic properties. Traditionally, special optoelectronic functional polymers were widely utilized as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). However, the recent demands of environmental, energy, theranostics and many other aspects extended the applications of these functional polymers. This Special Issue is intended to provide a collection of the latest manufacturing methods of functional polymers with special photo and electronic properties, exploring their applications in fields such as environmental science to theranostics. We believe that this will be very useful for the scientific community due to the huge number of application fields in which functional polymers can be used, such as for electronics, the degradation of pollutants, battery contents and biomedicines, among others.

Hydrogel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), as an important component of flexible energy storage devices, have gradually received wide attention compared with traditional liquid electrolytes due to their advantages of good mechanical, bending, and safety properties. In this paper, two cross-linked GPEs of poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) or poly(acrylic acid-co-N-methylolacrylamide) with NaNO3 aqueous solution (P(AA-co-AM)/NaNO3 or P(AA-co-HAM)/NaNO3) were successfully prepared using radical polymerization, respectively, using acrylic acid (AA) as the monomer, N-methylolacrylamide (HAM) or acrylamide (AM) as the comonomer, and N, N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA) as the cross-linking agent. We investigated the morphology, glass transition temperature (Tg), ionic conductivities, mechanical properties, and thermal stabilities of the two GPEs. By comparison, P(AA-co-HAM)/NaNO3 GPE exhibits a higher ionic conductivity of 2.00 × 10−2 S/cm, lower Tg of 152 °C, and appropriate mechanical properties, which are attributed to the hydrogen bonding between the -COOH and -OH, and moderate cross-linking. The flexible symmetrical supercapacitors were assembled with the two GPEs and two identical activated carbon electrodes, respectively. The results show that the flexible supercapacitor with P(AA-co-HAM)/NaNO3 GPE shows good electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 63.9 F g−1 at a current density of 0.2 A g−1 and a capacitance retention of 89.4% after 3000 charge–discharge cycles. Our results provide a simple and practical design strategy of GPEs for flexible supercapacitors with wide application prospects. Full article

The work was devoted to the development of technology for applying metal coatings to the surface of polypropylene products. At the same time, the main stages of the technology were carried out using the influence of electromagnetic waves of light radiation. So, to obtain an electrically conductive silver layer, after mechanical treatment, etching and activation, the polymer was immersed for several minutes in a solution containing 10–20 g/L of silver nitrate and equivalent amounts of ascorbic acid, and a thin layer of solution was obtained on the surface of the polymer. A sample with such a sorption film was exposed to electromagnetic waves of light radiation at a flux density of 700–1100 W/m2. The small thickness of the sorption film facilitated the penetration of these waves directly onto the polymer surface and ensured the photochemical process of silver reduction with the formation of active centers. At the same time, electromagnetic waves acting on ascorbic acid transferred it to an excited state. As a result, the chemical reduction of silver in the space between the active centers became possible. In this case, the film obtained within 15–20 min had the necessary electrical conductivity. The suitability of these films for galvanic metallization of the polymer surface was shown. Full article
