Unsaturated calcium and strontium carboxylates as precursors of nanocomposite materials

Title : Unsaturated calcium and strontium carboxylates as precursors of nanocomposite materials

Abstract:

In this work, methods for the synthesis of a wide range of calcium- and strontium-containing monomers (MCM) based on unsaturated carboxylic acids are developed. The obtained MCMs are used as single-source precursors for the preparation of metal–polymer nanocomposites by conjugated thermolysis. Methods have been developed for depositing films based on synthesized nanocomposites on Corning glass substrates and substrates with interdigitated electrodes (IDE) using spin coating (SC), dip coating (DC) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies to obtain homogeneous thin films. The physical parameters of the films and their sensor properties were studied. The use of the obtained metal-polymer nanocomposites as sensors of ammonia, nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and acetone is shown.
