Summary

Nanocomposites are interesting materials due to the desirable combination of unique properties from their components in a specific material, such as luminescence and thermal resistance, for example [1]. Thus, polymeric and metallic nanoparticles emerge as materials of great interest. In this study, it was prepared polythiophene conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPN) and incorporated into aqueous dispersion of spherical silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Subsequently, the nanocomposite was immobilized in chitosan films, as well as the isolated nanoparticles, and evaluated, through UV-Vis and fluorescence (FL), for its thermal stability before and after exposure to higher temperatures (80 and 160 °C) for three hours. It was possible to observe that all absorption and emission curves before and after exposure to 80 °C remained practically constant, which does not happen at higher temperature. It was noticed that in the absorption spectrum for pure chitosan exposed to 160 °C, a new band appears around 280 nm, which increase significantly its absorption intensity. Likewise, in emission spectrum, the intensity was increased, and the maximum wavelength shifted 40 nm to values higher than expected. For AgNP, absorption and emission spectra, the same pattern was observed. In the absorption spectra of chitosan films with NPC and the nanocomposite, the polymer band appear as a shoulder and the new band around 280 nm, prevenient from thermodegradated chitosan, was present either. However, in the emission spectra for films containing NPC, the shift was not observed, only a decrease in the emission intensity of the material, which indicates that the subproduct of chitosan thermodegradation somehow inhibits the emission of the polymeric material. Thus, the films proved to be stable before and after exposed to 80 °C and, despite slightly decreasing the emission intensity of the samples after exposure to higher temperatures, the nanopolymer gives the film greater stability in relation to possible wavelength shifts.
