Preparation of Nanocomposites from Styrene and Modified Graphite Oxides [PDF]
Graphite oxide was prepared and modified with several ammonium salts and these modified graphite oxides were used to prepare nanocomposites with polystyrene by in situ polymerization of styrene monomer and by melt blending with polystyrene ...

A Comparative Study between FRP and ATRP of Styrene by Monte Carlo Simulation: Effect of Free Radical Mobility [PDF]
Styrene polymerization through FRP and ATRP methods was carried out at 110oC, while in-depth studies were performed by Monte Carlo simulation.The changes in monomer conversion, initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and polydispersity index ...

Isolation and identification of plastic degrading bacteria from dumpsites Lagos [PDF]
Plastic pollution is a threat to the environment because of its slow degradation rate and high usage. The continuous accumulation of these synthetic plastic wastes poses an ever-increasing threat to animals, humans, and the environment.

We report the synthesis and solvent-induced assembly of one-patch silica nanoparticles in the size range of 100–150 nm. They consisted, as a first approximation, of silica half-spheres of which the truncated face was itself concave and carried in its ...

A Self-Assembled Microlensing Rotational Probe [PDF]
A technique to measure microscopic rotational motion is presented. When a small fluorescent polystyrene microsphere is attached to a larger polystyrene microsphere, the larger sphere acts as a lens for the smaller microsphere and provides an optical ...
