Fe 3 O 4 /HPW) was prepared by linking amino-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 -NH 2 ) on the graphene oxide (GO), and then grafting 12tungstophosphoric acid (H 3 PW 12 O 40 ) on the graphene oxide-magnetite hybrid (GO-Fe 3 O 4 -NH 2 ). The obtained GO/Fe 3 O 4 /HPW nanocomposite was well characterized with different techniques such as FT-IR, TEM, SEM, XRD, EDX, TGA-DTA, AGFM, ICP and BET measurements. The used techniques showed that the graphene oxide layers were well prepared and the various stages of preparation of the GO/Fe 3 O 4 /HPW nanocomposites successfully completed. This new nanocomposite displayed excellent performance as a heterogeneous catalyst in the oxidation of alcohols with H 2 O 2 . The as-prepared GO/Fe 3 O 4 / HPW catalyst was more stable and recyclable at least five times without significantly reducing its catalytic activity.
<p>New, thermally stable polyimides (pi) containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring in the polymer backbone based on 1,4-bis((4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)benzene, baob, were synthesized. The prepared polymers were soluble in polar and aprotic solvents. The obtained results reveal that within the prepared polymers, polyimide (7) which has been obtained from baob and 4,4’-oxydiphthalic dianhydride, odpa, has the most improved thermal properties. In the next part, thermally stable organophilic clay was obtained via cation exchange reaction between sodium montmorillonite (Na-mmt) and the hydrochloride salt of baob. Then, a series of pi/clay nanocomposite materials (pcns) were synthesized from the in situ polymerization reaction of baob and odpa via thermal imidization. baob-mmt was used as the filler at different concentrations. Intercalation of polymer chains within the organoclay galleries was confirmed by wxrd. The glass transition temperature is increased with respect to pristine pi for pcns 1-3 wt%. At high clay loadings, the aggregation of organoclay particles results in a decrease in Tg. In the sem images of the pure polymer too many micro-cracks were observed in the background,<br />while surface homogeneity of pcn 1 wt% is increased and microcracks are reduced.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
