In this paper, we have synthesized new functionalized Al2O3 nanoparticles successfully via reaction, which was grafted polyurethane onto the surface of nanoparticles dispersed in n-butyl acetate. The structure, surface properties, and thermal stability of the functionalized Al2O3 nanoparticles were characterized by means of by FT-IR, TGA and SEM. The results showed that the surface of Al2O3 nanoparticles has been grafted with polyurethane (PU). Furthermore, Al2O3 nanoparticles was dispersed evenly in the organic solvent, which can show a long suspension stability near to 6 months without precipitation, indicating that this product is very useful to prepare stabilized coating nanocomposites.
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.
