研究目的
To investigate the thermal properties of a new PPy/PLA composite, including thermal diffusivity, thermal effusivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity, using photoacoustic calorimetry and photopyroelectric techniques.
研究成果
The PPy/PLA composite was successfully fabricated and characterized, showing thermal properties within the range of its components. It exhibits flexibility, conductivity, and potential for use as a temperature sensor in electronics due to rapid response time, biocompatibility, and flexibility. Future work could focus on applications and further property enhancements.
研究不足
The study was conducted at room temperature only, and the composite's properties may vary under different conditions. The techniques rely on specific assumptions (e.g., optically opaque and thermally thick samples), which might not hold for all materials. Potential optimizations include extending measurements to various temperatures and exploring other composite ratios.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used photoacoustic calorimetry (specifically the open photoacoustic cell method) and photopyroelectric techniques (front-detection configuration) to measure thermal properties. Theoretical models and equations were applied for data fitting.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A PPy/PLA composite membrane was fabricated using polylactic acid filament from Makerbot, polypyrrole powder from Sigma-Aldrich, and N,N-Dimethylformamide from Sigma-Aldrich. The molar composition was PPy/PLA/DMF ≈

4:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an open photoacoustic cell with an electret microphone, a modulated laser beam, a lock-in amplifier (model SR850), a photopyroelectric setup with a PVDF pyroelectric detector, an ultrasonic cleaner bath, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis. Materials included PLA filament, PPy powder, DMF, organic oil for thermal contact, and vacuum grease.
5:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The composite was fabricated by dissolving PLA in DMF, mixing with PPy, sonicating, and depositing on a glass substrate to dry. For thermal diffusivity, the sample was placed on the microphone, illuminated with modulated laser light, and the signal was measured. For thermal effusivity, the sample was placed on the PVDF detector with oil, and frequency scans were performed. Data were normalized and fitted to theoretical equations.
6:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using fitting procedures to theoretical equations (e.g., Eq. 1 for thermal diffusivity and Eq. 2 for thermal effusivity) to extract thermal parameters. Thermal conductivity and heat capacity were calculated from the relationships with diffusivity and effusivity.
