The nanocomposites demonstrate broad maximum of mechanical loss, which is result of forced phase compatibility and large interphase layers. The nanocomposites have a perspective as effective noise and vibration damping materials.
Polymerization induced self-assembly (PISA) provides a facile platform for encapsulating therapeutics within block copolymer nanoparticles.
Here we report a study on the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of self-assembling peptide-containing diblock copolymers.
The use of hybrid materials such as polymer–metal nanocomposites (PMNCs) are rapidly gaining attention in heterogeneous catalysis due to their enhanced performance and unique physicochemical properties compared to larger counterparts.
A series of vinyl-functionalized macromolecular chain transfer agents were synthesized by RAFT solution polymerization and employed in RAFT dispersion polymerization to prepare cross-linked polymer nanoparticles with diverse morphologies.
