Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted much attention as nanofillers in polymer nanocomposites (NCs) due to their particular surface structural, positively charged layer and so on. In this study, a chiral diacid was synthesized by the reaction of tetrabromophthalic anhydride and glutamic acid. LDH was modifie…

A novel alternative was developed for the synthesis of polymer–protein conjugates with a controllable number of polymer chains. Human serum albumin (HSA), as a model protein, was grafted by poly(N-isopropyl-acrylamide) (PNIPAM) using N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithiol) propionate as a coupling agent at room temperatur…

Ionic liquid assisted growth of ultra-long ZnO nanowires from thermal chemical vapor deposition and the incorporation of dopants into the ZnO lattice have been investigated. We find that decomposed components of the ionic liquid at higher temperatures facilitate ultra-long vapor-liquid-solid ZnO nanowires that exhibit…

Polycrystalline samples of the type-I clathrate Ba(8)Ni(x)Ge(46-x-y)□(y) were synthesized for 0.2 ⩽ x ⩽ 3.5 by melt quenching and for 3.5<x ⩽ 6.0 by melting with subsequent annealing at 700 °C. The maximum Ni content in the clathrate framework at this temperature was found to be x ≈ 4.2 atoms per unit cell. Thermoelec…

ABSTRACT Fresh NR was adopted to prepare rubber with a nanomatrix structure. The nanomatrix structure was formed by graft-copolymerization of styrene onto deproteinized fresh NR (fresh DPNR) in the latex stage using tert -butyl hydroperoxide/tetraethylenepentamine as an initiator. Graft-copolymer consisting of fresh D…
