چکیده

Polymer brushes consisting of polystyrene (PS) chains bonded covalently to N-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNx) were synthesized by a "grafting from" route using nitroxide mediated radical polymerization (NMRP).

Nitroxide-Mediated Radical Polymerization of Styrene Initiated from the Surface of Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, with an average size of about 45 nm, were encapsulated by polystyrene using in situ nitroxide mediated radical polymerization   in the presence of 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (APTES) as a coupling agent and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy  as a initiator. First, the initiator for NMRP was covalently bonded onto the surface of Titanium dioxide na...

Patterned nitroxide polymer brushes for thin-film cathodes in organic radical batteries.

Nitroxide polymer brushes were covalently patterned on flexible conducting substrates via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization and microcontact printing. As a cathode of organic radical batteries, the nitroxide polymer brushes prevent the nitroxide polymer from dissolving into electrolyte solvents, which improves the cycle-life performance of batteries.

Control of surface properties using fluorinated polymer brushes produced by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization.

Surface-grafted styrene-based homopolymer and diblock copolymer brushes bearing semifluorinated alkyl side groups were synthesized by nitroxide-mediated controlled radical polymerization on planar silicon oxide surfaces. The polymer brushes were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), and time-dependent water contact angle mea...

Controlled nitroxide-mediated styrene surface graft polymerization with atmospheric plasma surface activation.

Polymer layer growth by free radical graft polymerization (FRGP) and controlled nitroxide-mediated graft polymerization (NMGP) of polystyrene was achieved by atmospheric pressure hydrogen plasma surface activation of silicon. Kinetic polystyrene layer growth by atmospheric pressure plasma-induced FRGP (APPI-FRGP) exhibited a maximum surface-grafted layer thickness (125 A after 20 h) at an initi...

Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Polystyrene via Grafting to and Grafting from Methods

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) were functionalized with polystyrene (PSt) by grafting to and grafting from methods. PSt-N3 with designed molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene (St) followed by end group transformation and then added to SWNT. The grafting from functionalization was achieved by ATR...
