First, 1,1,3,3-tetra- phenyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane （TPDC） films were deposited on 4 cm2 silicon substrates cut from c-Si wafers by conventional vacuum evaporation under a pressure of 4.0×10^-3 Pa; then metal nanoparticles were deposited onto the TPDC films by pulsed laser ablation; finally the TPDC films with metal nanoparticles were heated in an electric furnace in an air atmosphere at 553 K for 10 rain to induce ring-opening polymerization of TPDC. The results indicate that it is easy to synthesize metal/ PDPhSM nanocomposite thin films by pulsed laser ablation. The morphologies and size of metal nanoparticles are closely related to the kinds of metal. Also, the polymerization efficiency depends on the kinds of metal nanoparticles deposited on the TPDC monomer films by pulsed laser ablation. In addition, The laser ablated metal nanoparticles penetrate into the TPDC monomer films during pulsed laser ablation while the DC sputtered metal nanoparticles just lay on the surface of TPDC films.展开更多

A cationic surfactant TTAB （tetradecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide） and a non-ionic surfactant tween-20 （poly （ethylene oxide） （20） sorbitan monolaurate） are used as additives. The nanocomposites and thin films are characterized by Fourier transform infrared （FTIR）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, respectively. The optical properties reveal the interaction between PANI/In2O3 nanocomposites and surfactants, and PANI/In2O3 thin films prepared in the presence of surfactants exhibits the finer nanofiber than the surfactants free PANI/In2O3 thin film. The ammonia （NH3） gas-sensing characteristic of PANI/In2O3 thin films and the effect of different surfactants on the gas-sensing property are studied. The results indicated that the film processed in the presence of TTAB has the highest gas sensitivity among all the prepared films.展开更多
