MODIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMER/CLAY NANOCOMPOSITE HYDROGELS BY EXCHANGING WATER WITH ALCOHOLIC SOLVENTS

Swelling Characterization of Nanocomposite Hydrogels of Poly (acrylamide-N-vinylimidazole)

In this study, a hydrogel composed of acrylamide (AAm) with N-vinylimidazole (NVI) as co-monomer, with a cross-linker such as N, N` Methylenebisacrylamide and potassium peroxodisulfate as an initiator solution was prepared. Poly (AAm/NVI) hydrogels were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization. Swelling experiments were performed in water at 25°C, gravimetrically. Here, it was of...

Polyacrylamide-Clay Nanocomposite Hydrogels: Rheological and Light Scattering Characterization

The free-radical polymerization of acrylamide in aqueous clay dispersions and the structure of the resulting polymer-clay nanocomposite hydrogels have been investigated by rheometry using oscillatory deformation tests. Laponite was used as clay particles in the hydrogel preparation. The reactions were carried out with and without the presence of the chemical cross-linker N,N′-methylenebis(acryl...

Modification of Silica surface by Titanium sol synthesis and characterization

Hydrophobic silica titanium nanoparticles (STNPs) were successfully synthesized by the sol-gel process using liquid modification. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) studies were demonstrated the attachment of titanium on the silica surface. Titanium content enhanced the agglomeration of particles as shown in topography results. The N2 adsorption-desorption followed T...
