- The present paper reports on an original experimental approach to the characterization of SWNT/polymer composites. This work deals with the multiscale characterization of nanocomposites. Covalently functionalized SWNTs were incorporated in a PMMA matrix using an in situ polymerization procedure. We show that their presence does not affect the radical polymerization process. Combining Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy, we were able to associate the obtained mechanical properties of the material at the macroscopic scale to the state of functionalization of the SWNTs within the polymer matrix.

- We present experimental data for the c-axis resistivity ?c of stage s = 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8, SbCl5 intercalated graphite, over the temperature range 40 to 300 K and the pressure range 0 to 0.8 GPa (0–8 kbar). For most specimens studied, resistance anomalies are observed below 230 K at atmospheric pressure and at pressures up to 0.5 GPa at 293 K. These anomalies are explained in terms of structural changes from a disordered or partly crystallized in-plane intercalate structure at atmospheric pressure and T > 230 K to an almost completely crystallized structure below this temperature, or at elevated pressures, as discussed in a companion paper. In the crystallized phases ?c is approximately linear in T except for stage 8, for which a nonlinear behavior, with a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity below 200 K, is observed. The results are compared with previously available literature data, and the p-T phase diagram is briefly discussed.

- Using an inductive technique, we have measured the in-plane resistivity rhoa of stages 2, 4, 5, and 8 SbCl5-GIC's versus temperature T and pressure p in the ranges 130–300 K and 0–0.85 GPa. The room temperature values of rhoa range from 4.0 µOcm for the stages 5 sample to 7.7 µOcm for the stage 8 sample. At all pressures, rhoa shows a metallic temperature dependence rhoa ~ Ta, with 1 < a < 2, but in contrast to the c-axis resistivity rhoc, it depends only very weakly on pressure and/or intercalate structural order. We show that the behavior observed is consistent with a band conduction model.

Pressure-induced modifications of structural and transport properties in SbCl5 intercalated graphite

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The structure and the c-axis resistivity of SbCl5 intercalated graphite have been studied as functions of T and p, over the ranges 40 to 295 K and 0 to 0.7 GPa. Slow cooling or slow application of pressure p > 0.4 GPa lead to states of complete but different crystallization of the intercalate, but after rapid cooling or pressurization any crystallization is incomplete. The resistivity of the high pressure crystallized phase is about 50% lower than that of the low T, low p phase under identical p-T conditions. No significant difference is seen between the behaviour of HOPG-based and single crystal based materials.

Structure, c-axis resistivity, and p-T phase diagram of SbCl5 intercalated graphite

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Experimental data are reported for the c-axis resistivity varrhoc of stages n = 3,4,5 and 8 SbCl5 intercalated graphite as a function of T and p, in the range 40 – 300 K and 0-0.5 GPa (5 kbar). varrhoc varied in a systematic way with p, T, and n. Well ordered low-T phases were obtained for all stages; disordering at 200 – 235 K gave rise to well defined multiple anomalies in varrhoc. We also report x-ray diffraction data on the stage 2 compound: evidence was found for large variations in the in-plane structure even for nominally identical samples.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we present data for the c-axis resistivity of first stage CuAl2Cl8 GIC and second stage CuCl2 GIC as functions of pressure, p, (0.0 < p < 1.5 GPa) and of temperature, T, (4 < T < 300 K). We show evidence of a possible new high-pressure phase above 1.0 GPa for the CuAl2Cl8 GIC and we show that the CuCl2 GIC is very stable at all pressures and temperature investigated. We make a comparison with previous results on SbCl5 GICs and other chloride intercalation compounds and with theories treating the temperature and pressure coefficients of transport parameters in layered solids.

Conduction mechanisms in some graphite-polymer composites: effects of temperature and pressure

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article is devoted to the conduction mechanisms involved in some highly electrically anisotropic resin–graphite particle composites. These materials are known to show a percolation phenomenon as the filler content is varied; they are epoxy or polyurethane based, the conducting particles are oriented single-crystal platelets, and samples are in the form of thick films. Because of their strong anisotropy, two types of measurements were made, i.e., parallel to and perpendicular to the plane of the films. Study of the resistivity variations of samples containing various concentrations in conducting particles was carried out first as a function of temperature from 4.2 to 300 K at ambient pressure, and second as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 1.2 GPa, at room temperature. As the temperature is varied, the changes in resistivity of all the samples studied (i.e., above percolation threshold) are weak; analysis leads to the conclusion that thermally activated tunneling plays a dominant role above but close to the percolation threshold phic. As a function of pressure, more samples were studied: when the filler content is above phic, resistivity changes are quantitatively in agreement with what is expected from both percolation theory and tunneling; below threshold, the observed behavior is partially attributable to an ionic conduction mechanism throughout the polymer.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have studied the effects of temperature (10 = T = 295 K) and pressure (0 = p = 0.8 GPa) on the state of intercalate layer crystallization in SbCl5 graphite intercalation compounds of stages 2, 4, and 8. At room temperature (RT), the intercalate layer may in some second stage compounds be fully crystallized and lowering the temperature creates no further modifications. In all other cases, i.e., those in which the intercalate layer has only partial crystallization at RT, lowering T leads to the formation of new in-plane unit cells, the final state depending on the kinetics. Applying pressure to above 0.3–0.5 GPa results in crystallization in all cases, different from that induced simply by lowering of the temperature. We discuss the unit cells observed and the relationships they bear to each other in the light of other works on similar compounds.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents some new data on the SbCl5-intercalated graphite family as concerns the relationships between c axis resistivity, ρc(T,p), and intercalate layer structure. Results on the influence of intercalate layer crystallization and the nature of the host graphite are discussed and compared with those on other GIC families. Certain data are examined in the light of available theories and such an analysis raises a number of questions.

- We present experimental data for the c-axis electrical resistivity of SbCl5 intercalated graphite between 20 and 300 K. The data are analyzed together with our previous results for these and other samples [O. E. Andersson et al., J. Mater. Res. 7, 2989 (1992)]. Before the analysis, we correct the experimental data to constant volume, as assumed by theorists. We show that the correction factor is much larger for these materials than for normal metals. Although the original data showed significant nonlinearities with T, the corrected data are linear in T to within the experimental accuracy for low-stage compounds below the intercalate crystallization temperature. We compare our results with several models and conclude that both the temperature dependence, the pressure dependence, and the relative changes in the in-plane and c-axis resistivities associated with intercalate crystallization can be best described by a band conduction model.
