Topic:Synthetic Approaches toward Metallic Photonic Crystals
Abstract:The efficiency of standard incandescent light sources is limited by strong thermal emission in the IR regime. More efficient emission of light would be expected when the conventional tungsten filament is replaced by metallic photonic crystals that have large photonic band gaps in the infrared and can suppress the thermal emission of blackbody emitters. One approach towards fabricating photonic crystal structures with highly ordered periodic features on an optical length scale involves colloidal crystal templating to produce inverse opals. Metallic inverse opals were synthesized using wet chemical methods capable of producing powders, thin films and monolithic pieces. A range of soluble metal precursors were infiltrated into self-assembled, colloidal crystal arrays comprised of monodisperse poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres. The infiltrated composites were processed under reducing conditions to produce metallic inverse replicas of the template. The effects of varying the metal precursor, precursor concentration, reduction time, atmosphere and temperature, as well as template annealing were investigated to determine the optimal procedure for preparing large ordered domains of the inverse opal material. The influence of processing conditions on structural and optical properties was also studied. The emission of these objects was observed qualitatively by resistively heating the material in an inert atmosphere. The wet chemical methods provide a low cost alternative to expensive nanolithographic methods for the fabrication of three-dimensional periodic metallic structures.

Topic:Designing Clays for Nanocomposites with Polymers
Abstract:Nanocomposites of modified natural clays with certain polymers, such as nylon, can significantly improve mechanical, barrier and thermal properties of the polymer. The property enhancement relies on good dispersion of clay sheets within a polymer. With natural clays and nonpolar polymers, such as polypropylene and polystyrene, good dispersion is not easily achieved. We have developed methods of synthesizing artificial silicate and aluminosilicate clays whose layers are decorated with organic functional groups designed to match specific polymers. Surface functionalization affects polymer-clay interactions and can assist in clay dispersion. In this presentation I will discuss synthesis of the organoclays by sol-gel chemistry and grafting methods, describe the structures of the synthetic clays and provide an evaluation of the rheological properties of polystyrene and polypropylene nanocomposites with the synthetic clays. The influence of both the inorganic and organic structure of the clay on nanocomposite performance is discussed and materials are compared with a commercially available nanoclay. In most cases, the synthetic clays increased the modulus of the polymer at relatively low clay concentrations. In the case of low molecular weight polypropylene, the modulus of the nanocomposite with synthetic clay was significantly higher than for the commercial clay.

Topic:Templating and Transformations of Nanostructured Porous Solids
Abstract:A variety of colloidal crystal templating methods have been developed to produce three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) or "inverse opal" structures of oxides, metals and hybrid materials with periodic features on a submicrometer length scale. In these methods, a close-packed array of monodisperse polymer spheres is infiltrated with a fluid precursor to form a nanocomposite. Upon solidification of the precursor and removal of the polymer template, an ordered inorganic skeleton with interconnected macropores is obtained. Typical wall thicknesses in the skeleton are on the order of tens of nanometers. Many studies have focused on photonic crystals as target materials, with interesting projected applications involving confinement and control of electromagnetic waves. Structural requirements on such photonic crystals are rigorous, and strict control of defects is necessary to obtain photonic bandgaps. A number of other applications of 3DOM materials pose less rigorous requirements on structural periodicity, but benefit from the 3D arrays of relatively large interconnected pores, highly accessible surfaces, and compositional flexibility of the synthesis. Such applications include optical sensing, catalysis, battery materials, and bioactive materials. This presentation will provide a general overview of relevant issues of structural control in these applications and will then focus on 3DOM materials for tunable pigments, nanostructured lithium batteries, and bioactive glasses.
