The interphase properties in nanocomposites indicate the interaction between filler and matrix, which is dependent on preparation method, shape, size of chemical two phases. Local environment polymer matrix give rise to different dielectric compared that bulk material. These allow understanding their effects glass transition (Tg) nanocomposites. In this study, power law model was used predict b...

The reaction of FeCl3 with a pincer ligand, 2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (bppyH2), produced a mononuclear Fe(III) complex [Fe(bppyH2)Cl3] (1), which could be reduced to the corresponding Fe(II) dichloride complex [Fe(bppyH2)Cl2] (2) by suitable reducing agents such as Cp2Co or Fe powder. 1 and 2 exhibited a reversible transformation from each other with appropriate redox reagents. 1 could be...

Water-soluble nanographite was prepared by in situ emulsion polymerization using methacrylate as polymeric monomer. The dispersion stability and dispersion state of graphite particles were evaluated by UV-visible spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The water-soluble nanographite was then added into the water-based cutting fluid as lubricant additive. The lubricatio...

Waterborne poly(urethane urea)s (PUDs) containing graphene derivatives with different morphologies and surface polarities were synthesized via in situ polymerization by using the acetone method. Sm...

Poly (ether) urethane close/open cell (PEUCC/PEUOC) has been prepared by using in situ polymerization approach. The third-order optical nonlinearities of dissolved samples in DMF were characterized by Z-scan technique at the measurement wavelength of 532 nm. The synthesized samples were also examined by optical microscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The nonlinear refractive (NLR) indice...

The design of an imidazole-based salt by enzyme-mimicking allowed controlling the ring-opening polymerization of L- and D-LA monomers in bulk. Kinetic study supports a bifunctional activation process only slightly different from the one occurring in Nature.
