Facile fabrication of graphene oxide/poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite with high toughness and thermal stability

Following the light: 3D-printed COF@poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) dual emissive composite with response to polarity and acidity

“…The thermal stability of polymers depends on several factors such as molecular weight, degree of ramification, cross-linker content, crystallinity, and presence of additives, among others. 72 Increase of thermal stability in pHEMA and related methacrylic nanocomposites has been reported in the literature, 68,73–75 and has been attributed to several factors depending on the physicochemical properties of the nanofiller, as for example, a retardation of the heat transfer in the case of nanographene-containing composites. 73,74 A similar process may be happening in the case of the NR 0.17 -CONs@pHEMA composite, however, a complete understanding of the mechanism underlying the increase of thermal stability is out of the scope of the present work.…”
