Synthesis and anticoagulation activities of polymer/functional graphene oxide nanocomposites via Reverse Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (RATRP)

Synthesis of PAN with adjustable molecular weight and low polydispersity index (PDI) value via reverse atom transfer radical polymerization

“…RATRP was firstly reported by Matyjaszewski [14][15][16], it subsequently opened up a new field for control/living polymerization and has aroused a hot research. Differing from the ATRP, in the initiation stage of RATRP, it used conventional initiator such as BPO and AIBN [17,18] instead of alkyl halide (RX) and oxidation state transition metal catalysts such as Cu 2+ , Fe 3+ and Ni 2+ [19][20][21] instead of reduction state transition metal catalyst [22][23][24].…”

Tangible nanocomposites with diverse properties for heart valve application

“…In a study undertaken by Jin et al , a range of functional GOs based on the biomimetic monomer 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine (GO–g-pMPC) were synthesized by reverse atom transfer radical polymerization in an alcoholic medium using peroxide groups as the initiator [80]. This was then filled into the PU matrix to obtain PU/functional GO nanocomposite film (PU/GO–g-pMPC).…”

Optical, electrochemical, photoelectrochemical and electrochromic properties of polyamide/graphene oxide with various feed ratios of polyamide to graphite oxide

“…[30][31][32] These novel nanomaterials have great potential applications in electrochemical devices, energy storage, catalysis, adsorption of enzymes, cell imaging and drug delivery and biosensors. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] In this article, we demonstrate an effective approach for the fabrication of a series of PA-based composites with GO which were prepared by using in situ polymerization, and the two parts were connected with chemical bonds. We hope that the strong p-p interactions between GO and conjugated PA can lead to synergistic effects in improving performances of many parts, and the GO can act as dopant to interact with both N-H groups and quinoid units on the PA backbone, which can increase the degree of electron delocalization and hence can enhance electrical conductivity of the material.…”
