a copolymer of styrene and methyl styrene was synthesized by nitroxide - mediated “living” free radical polymerization )nmp). n-bromosuccinimide was used as a brominating agent to obtain a copolymer with bromine as its end group. this brominated copolymer was used as macro initiators for atom transfer  radical  polymerization  (atrp).  chemical  modifcation  of  the  clay  and transformation of...

titanium dioxide (tio2) nanoparticles, with an average size of about 45 nm, were encapsulated by polystyrene using in situ nitroxide mediated radical polymerization   in the presence of 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (aptes) as a coupling agent and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy  as a initiator. first, the initiator for nmrp was covalently bonded onto the surface of titanium dioxide na...
