Structure of chain-grafted silica nanoparticles
The aim of the proposed experiment is to carry out a series of SANS measurements on chain-grafted silica nanoparticles prepared in our laboratory. In this experiment we plan to... -
Solution Behaviour of Star Polymers Tethered on Hard Cores
The behavior of branched polymers is often complex, making the use of model well-defined archtiectures particularly powerful for understanding their behavior. We have recently... -
Effect of Nanoparticles and Chain-grafting on Polymer Blend Miscibility
Addition of nanoparticles to a polymer matrix is known to alter, and often enhance, the mechanical, thermal and barrier properties of the materials. When nanoparticles (NPs) are...
