“…Taking advantage of the hydroxyl groups commonly existing on the SiO 2 surface, Oosterling et al [29] developed a technology for immobilizing styrene on the silica nanoparticle surfaces using p-vinylbenzyltrichlorosilane. The attached styrene monomer was activated by t-BuLi and used for the polymerization of styrene assuming that inter-/intramolecular reactions are insignificant.…”

Surface-initiated anionic polymerization is one of the many techniques used for the modification of organic and inorganic nanomaterials. Surface modification of nanomaterials using polymers is a unique way to reduce interface incompatibility of nanomaterials for applications in new technologies. The properties of nanomaterials strongly depend on their compatibility with organic phases either in bulk or in solution. This chapter focuses on surface grafting of polymers using living anionic polymerization from various nanomaterials and provides accounts on the developments in this area.

“…Grafting polymer onto the surface of inorganic particles is a field of great interests. Most of the works were carried out for micron and submicron particles in solutions via various chemical processes, including radical,5 anionic,6 and cationic7 polymerizations. Also, a few reports have been devoted to the grafting of polymers onto the particulate surfaces in emulsion rather than in solution 8–10.…”

To improve the tribological performance of nano‐SiC particles filled epoxy composites, surface modification of the fillers is necessary. By means of soapless emulsion polymerization method, graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto the surface of alkyl nano‐SiC was carried out, resulting in composite particles with SiC core and polymeric shell in which polyglycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) is chemically attached to the nanoparticles by the double bonds introduced during the pretreatment with a coupling agent. By analyzing the reaction mechanism, the emulsion polymerization loci were found to be situated at the SiC surface. Also, the factors affecting the grafting yielding of PGMA on the particles were investigated, including monomer concentration, initiator consumption, reaction temperature, reaction time, etc. Accordingly, an optimum grafting reaction condition was determined. It was shown that the grafted nanoparticles exhibit greatly improved dispersibility in good solvent for the grafting polymer. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…This so-called, ''grafting onto'' technique is a robust procedure and exhibits several advantages over the ''grafting from'' method such as milder reaction condition requirements and easier purification steps. 65 …”
