Polymeric nanocomposites are composites materials in which the matrix is a polymer and the filler is a nanoparticle (particle with at least one dimension lower than 100 nm) homogeneously distributed through the matrix forming a percolated network. In this project, these materials will be developed for applications in generation, storage and conduction of electrical energy. The percolation…
Nanostructure polymeric systems are materials composed of two phases: one disperse phase with nanometric dimensions and one polymeric matrix phase. Within these systems the polymeric nanocomposites and the nanoblends can be included. The polymeric nanocomposites are composite materials in which the matrix is a polymer and the disperse inorganic phase has at least a dimension in the nanome…

More than 60% of world energy come from non-renewable sources, which are responsible for many different environmental problems. To ensure a more sustainable energy system, the investment on clean technologies, such as solar energy, is fundamental. The development of researches that seek new materials, different processing methods and/or new architectures that enhance photovoltaic efficien…
The purpose of this project is to obtain hybrid nanocomposites based on block copolymers (CB) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for application in supercapacitors. Copolymers of styrene with butadiene will be used, mainly SBS and SEBS whose polystyrene blocks exhibit different morphologies, lamellar for SBS and cylindrical for SEBS, both with nanometer dimensions. The nanocomposit…
This project proposes the development of new nanocomposites for supercapacitors applications.Thus, the influence of the polarity and crystallinity of the polymeric matrix and of the processing and orientation of the nanofillers in the matrix, on the electrical and dielectric properties (electrical conductivity and charge storage) will be investigated. The charge storage properties will be…

The main purpose of this project is to produce novel hybrid nanocomposites of block copolymers and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for use as supercapacitors. The block copolymer polystyrene-block-poly(vinylidene fluoride)-block-polystyrene (PS-b-PVDF-b-PS) will be synthetized by the atom transfer radical polymerization technique (ATRP) which enables the self-assembly of the copoly…
