the microstructure and thermal properties of the synthesized block copolymers and terpolymers via atom transfer radical polymerization (atrp) were studied. the mole fraction of the blocks and chain length of the pvac-b-pma block copolymers were estimated with 1h nmr spectroscopy.differential scanning calorimety measurement shows two different transitions at 36°c and 8°c assigned to pvac and pma...

in this study, we investigated the effect of using large tio2 nanoparticles in the matrix of small nanoparticles to improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (dsscs), as light scatter to increase the light harvesting. the mixed powder was deposited by electrophoretic deposition (epd) on fto (f-sno2 coated glass). it is shown that adding small quantity of larger nanoparticles can enh...
