Polysulfone/Clay Nanocomposites by in situ Photoinduced Crosslinking Polymerization
نویسندگان
چکیده
PSU/MMT nanocomposites are prepared by dispersing MMT nanolayers in a PSUmatrix via in situ photoinduced crosslinking polymerization. Intercalated methacrylate-functionalized MMT and polysulfone dimethacrylate macromonomer are synthesized independently by esterification. In situ photoinduced crosslinking of the intercalated monomer and the PSU macromonomer in the silicate layers leads to nanocomposites that are formed by individually dispersing inorganic silica nanolayers in the polymer matrix. The morphology of the nanocomposites is investigated by XRD and TEM,which suggests the random dispersion of silicate layers in the PSU matrix. TGA results confirm that the thermal stability and char yield of PSU/MMT nanocomposites increases with the increase of clay loading.

In this research, FeNi@PANI nanocomposites as the electromagnetic wave absorbers were prepared through two following steps. At first, FeNi alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by the one-pot polyol process, and then, in-situ polymerization method was used for the preparation of FeNi@PANI nanocomposite. The XRD pattern confirmed the formation of pure FeNi alloy with the FCC crystalline phase. Th...
