Highly filled water based polymer/clay hybrid latexes
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The use of co-sonication (ad-miniemulsion) polymerisation for the preparation of highly filled polymer/clay hybrid latexes is described. Laponite (Lap) content levels in the range of 10–50 wt% were ...
Polymer-clay nanocomposites prepared by RAFT-supported grafting
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In materials chemistry, surface-initiated reversible deactivation radical polymerisation (SI-RDRP) has emerged as one of the most versatile routes to synthesising inorganic/organic hybrid materials ...
The preparation of polyolefin nanofibres by solution electrospinning
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Solution electrospinning is a technique used to produce polymer micro- or nanofibres. Recently a great deal of research has been done on the application of polymer nanofibres produced by this method.
