The department of Chemistry at the College of Science, held a PhD thesis defense on Hybrid nanoPolymers entitled “Preparation and Characterization of Hybrid nanoPolymers and Copolymers Derived From Thiophene, Furan and Pyrrole. And their Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibition, Electrical Conductivity, and Theoretical Simulation Studies “
The Scientist clarified that this study demonstrates the most important objectives of studying (To enhance understanding of the relationship between nanoparticles and conductive polymers, as this area greatly influences the properties of hybrid materials. Incorporating novel nanoparticles can enhance the compatibility and effectiveness of hybrid polymers. To more accurately represent applications).
The results reached that investigating the impact of amalgamating metal oxides on the crystalline characteristics of hybrid polymers, focusing on electronic transitions evidenced by the redshift of hybrid polymers in the presence of metal oxide nanoparticles, and the significant alteration of the energy gap range relative to the same polymers.
The study recommended to Investigate novel synthesis strategies, such as in situ creation, can provide hybrid polymers with customized characteristics that markedly differ from their constituent elements. This may expand opportunities for applications in domains such as electronics and biomaterialsز
