Size-Controlled Polymer-Coated Nanoparticles as Efficient Compatibilizers for Polymer Blends

Abstract: Polymer blends containing conducting polymers have attracted a great deal of interest in various applications, including membranes, barriers, and optoelectronic devices such as polymer solar cells and LEDs. 1À8 However, conducting polymers usually suffer from low processability, low mechanical strength, and high cost due to their low solubility. For applications such as organic electronics and coatings, which require both conductivity and good mechanical strength, one good approach involves blending the conduc… Show more

“…16 Figure S1). [33][34][35] The δ value is comparable to the values reported previously for other systems involving PNIPAAm brushes on graphene. 13,36 The conjugation of the P7AC-b-PNIPAAm polymers to the surface of the GQDs was confirmed by attenuated total-reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements.…”

“…[294] Other applications of AuNPs are catalysis, [295][296][297][298][299] surface-enhanced Raman scattering, [300,301] staining, [302] and their employment as compatibilizers in polymer blends. [303] AuNPs are already widely used in industrial consumer products, such as cosmetics, food packaging, lubricants, beverages, automobiles, and toothpaste. [304,305] …”

“…35 Two different Au NPs, small Au NP-1 (core diameter ¼ 2.7 nm) and large Au NP-2 (core diameter ¼ 12.3 nm), were synthesized using photo-crosslinkable PS-b-PSN 3 -SH polymer ligands to investigate the size effect of Au NPs on the compatibilizing process in immiscible polymer blends. Both Au NPs exhibited thermal stability through the photo-crosslinking of the PS-N 3 block.…”

“…In addition, PS-b-PTPA was synthesized using RAFT polymerization to compare the compatibilizing effect of the Au NPs with that of the block copolymer. 35 Both the small and large Au NPs had nonpolar PS brushes and polar PS-N 3 shells, so that the NPs could effectively compatibilize between the nonpolar PS and the polar PTPA matrix. The nanocomposite samples were prepared by mixing PS/PTPA blends (volume ratio of 8/2) with various contents (vol %) of Au NP-1, Au NP-2, or PS-b-PTPA.…”
