Polyacrylate/silica nanocomposite materials prepared by sol–gel process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyacrylate/silica nanocomposite was prepared by sol–gel process via in situ emulsion polymerization. The influence of the synthetic conditions, such as the ratio of different monomers and the contents of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), c-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (Z-6030), diethanolamine (DAM) and ammonium persulfate (APS) on the physical mechanical properties of polyacrylate/silica nanocomposite was investigated in details. Dynamics Laser Scattering (DLS) indicated that the average diameter of the polyacrylate/silica latex particles (177 nm) was bigger than that of the pure polyacrylate latex particles (105.3 nm), but the f potential of polyacrylate/silica was decreased respectively in contrast to that of the polyacrylate. Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) analysis confirmed that the glass transition temperature of polyacrylate/nano-SiO2 (Tg = 24 C) was higher than that of polyacrylate (Tg = 36 C). UV analysis showed that the UV absorbency of polyacrylate/silica was improved evidently in contrast to that of polyacrylate. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Preparation and Characterization of SiO2-CaCl2 Nanocomposite by the Sol-Gel Method
The SiO2-CaCl2 hybrid porous materials were prepared by the sol-gel method. This process was conducted by the hydrolysis and condensation of Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) by replacement of ethanol from alcogel and drying at the ambient temperature to obtain xerogel structure. The alcogel samples were synthesized from TEOS, EtOH, H2O, HCl, NH4OH and CaCl2, while the total molar ratio of the co...

Nanocomposite of NiAl2O4/SiO2 (NAS) was prepared through insitu solgel reaction, in which NiAl2O4 nanocrystals were dispersed in the silica glassy matrix. The prepared dried NAS gel, at 338 K, was heat treated to different temperature and identified the temperature range (1083 – 1163 K) of the nanocomposite formation through XRD patterns. From XRD patterns, crystallite size of NiAl2O4 particles...

متن کاملChondrocyte morphology on polymer-silica nanocomposites prepared by sol-gel technique
Cell adhesion to synthetic materials is mediated by extracellular matrix proteins (including fibronectin (FN), laminin, and vitronectin) which adsorb on the substrate upon contact with physiological fluids in vivo or culture medium in vitro [1]. The concentration, distribution and mobility of the adsorbed protein layer on a surface play a fundamental role in the biofunctionality of a synthetic ...
