Novel electrospun fibres of amphiphilic organic-inorganic graft copolymers of poly(acrylonitrile)-graftpoly( dimethylsiloxane) for silicone composite reinforcement
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Novel silicone nanocomposites were prepared using poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) based reinforcing
fibres as well as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Compatibility of the fibre fillers with
the silicone ...
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 ...
