- Nanocomposites Based on Layered Silicates and Epoxy Resins: Measurement of Clay Dispersion and Exfoliation using TEM, Solid-State NMR, and X-ray Diffraction Methods

Article first published online: 9 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201100594
The layer distances of organically modified layered silicates in an epoxy matrix can be influenced by variation of both layered silicate modification and content. These effects are investigated by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction measurements, and 1H solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
- Fe(0) Powder/CuBr2-Mediated “Living”/Controlled Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate and Styrene at Ambient Temperature

In this work, Fe(0) powder/CuBr2 is used to catalyze the polymerizations of MMA or St at 25 °C. The solvent exerts a crucial effect on the polymerization profiles: DMSO offers a higher polymerization rate and a better control in comparison with toluene. Importantly, the polymerization of St can reach up to 80% conversion in DMSO at 25 °C.
- Synthesis and Self-Assembly Behavior of Organic–Inorganic Poly(ethylene oxide)-block-Poly(MA POSS)-block-Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Triblock Copolymers

Article first published online: 6 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201100506
A series of organic-inorganic triblock copolymers composed of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) endblocks and a poly(MA POSS) midblock are synthesized via a sequential atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) approach. The PEO-b-P(MA POSS)-b-PNIPAAm ABC triblock copolymers possess microphase-separated morphologies. It is found that, in aqueous solutions, the ABC triblock copolymers can display a temperature-tunable self-assembly behavior.
