Silica-Supported Styrene-Co-Divinylbenzene Pickering Emulsion Polymerization: Tuning Surface Charge and Hydrophobicity by pH and Co-Aid Adsorption

Pickering Emulsion Polymerization of Styrene-co-butyl Acrylate Nanoparticles by Using Cloisite Na+ as Surfactant

Cloisite Na+was used as a solid surfactant (stabilizer) in Pickering emulsion polymerization of styrene-co-butyl acrylate in presence of oil soluble initiator, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and water soluble initiator, potassium persulfate (KPS). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum approved the corporation of Cloisite Na+ layers within the polymer matrix. Effect of clay content was a...

CO Adsorption on Co(0001)-Supported Pt Overlayers

the growth of Pt deposits on Co(0001) was followed by STM and XPS. The chemical reactivity of the resulting surface was checked by CO adsorption. Pt grows as dendritic islands on the Co terraces whereas forming stripes at the Co step edges. Annealing the sample has no apparent effect on the STM pictures. However, XPS suggests that a limited dilution of Pt in Co takes place. The adsorption of CO...

Preparation and physical characterization of a sulfonated poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) and polypyrrole composite membrane

The properties of cation-exchange membranes based on polymeric composites of sulfonated poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) and polypyrrole (Ppy) are discussed. The amount of Ppy in the composites depends on the oxidant solution concentration used in the synthesis. Comparing composite membranes, the highest electronic conductivity and the best thermal stability were obtained for the composite membr...
