there are described nanocomposites based on ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and graphite nanoplates prepared by in-situ polymerization method. it is carried out a comprehensive study of electric properties of these composites, including direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) properties. there is explored dependence of the conductivity and dielectric permeability on filler con...

Vertical phase separation of the donor and the acceptor in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells is crucial to improve the exciton dissociation and charge transport efficiencies. This is because whilst the exciton diffusion length is limited, the organic film must be thick enough to absorb sufficient light. However, it is still a challenge to control the phase separation of a binary blend in ...

objective: bulk-fill composites are a group of composite resins designed for easy and fast filling of large cavities. this study aimed to assess the color stability of bulk-fill composites subjected to xenon radiation and evaluate their color change (&deltae;) following polymerization. methods: in this in vitro experimental study, 30 specimens (4mm in height and 8mm in diameter) were fabricated...

This study aims at exploring an effective route in the in situ graft polymerization of aniline from Fe3O4 nanoparticles. To this goal, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method using ammonia solution as the precipitating agent, and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)....

styrene nanocomposites were synthesized by in-situ atom transfer radical polymerization at 110oc. the variations of monomer conversion and the linearity of semilogarithmic kinetic plot, some signs of living polymerizationand constant radical concentration in the reaction medium, were revealed by gas chromatography technique (gc). according to the gel permeation chromatography (gpc) results, the...

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...

Living anionic polymerization of 4-diphenylphosphino styrene (DPPS) achieved well-defined homopolymers, poly(DPPS-b-S) styrenic block copolymers, and poly(I-b-DPPS) diene-based diblock copolymers with predictable molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. In situ FTIR spectroscopy monitored the anionic polymerization of DPPS and tracked monomer consumption for kinetic analysis. Post-alkylat...
