In this study, polyimide/graphene nanocomposite films which exhibited significant enhancements in mechanical properties and electrical conductivity were successfully fabricated. Graphene oxide (GO) synthesized by Hummer’s method was chemically modified with ethyl isocyanate to give ethyl isocyanate-treated graphene oxide (iGO), which is readily dispersed in N,N′-dimethylformamide (DMF). The iGO dispersion...
Ultra-thin films of cationic amphiphilic block and statistical copolymers were applied on silica surfaces from aqueous solutions through electrostatic interactions, and the resulting modification in the wettability of the surfaces was studied. A copolymer series from 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate with methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate was polymerized by ATRP. Subsequently, the conformation...
A detailed SAXS study of self-assembled block copolymer-based supramolecules composed of a polyisoprene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymer and octyl gallate that is hydrogen bonded to the vinylpyridine block in a stoichiometric ratio is presented. The changes in the system morphology with temperature are investigated both at rest and under oscillatory shear. In between the lamellar-to-cylindrical...
We have recently demonstrated a concept to prepare self-organized spherical, cylindrical and lamellar nanostructures of phenolic thermosets by blending novolac and poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(isoprene), i.e. P2VP-block-PI, followed by thermal curing by hexamethyltetramine (HMTA) [Macromolecules 34 (2001) 3046]. In the present work, hydrogen bonding, dynamic mechanical properties and glass transition...
