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 ...

Phase separation phenomena during the formation of asymmetric membranes [PDF]
The formation of membranes from two systems has been studied. In the system polyurethane-dimethylformamide-water, the mechanism for the formation of the sponge-like structure proves to be a liquid-liquid phase separation with nucleation and growth of the

XPS Characterization of Friedel-Crafts Cross-Linked Polystyrene [PDF]
The combination of a difunctional alkylating agent, either hydroxymethylbenzyl chloride or α,α′-dichloroxylene with polystyrene or high-impact polystyrene together with a Friedel-Crafts catalyst, 2-ethylhexyldiphenylphosphate, and an amine to react with ...
