DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL NANOCOMPOSITES AS CHEMICAL SENSORS USING FUNCTIONALIZED GRAPHITE NANOPARTICLES AND GRAFTED POLYMERS THROUGH CHEMICAL LIGATION

摘要

The present invention relates to an effective method for preparing stable nanocomposites using functionalized and uniformly dispersed graphite nanoparticles (GNPs) in polymer matrix. The functionalized graphite/polymer nanocomposites are prepared using combination of click chemistry and graft copolymerization. Graft copolymerization of the polymer allows functionalization of the matrix, to which azide functionalized GNPs through click chemistry is linked to form a very stable nanocomposites having application as sensors.
