Structure and Multifunctional Properties of the Nanocomposites Containing the hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Active Components on the Porous Polyethylene Films

摘要

The approach to prepare new multifunctional composites containing functionally specific active components was elaborated. Polyethylene porous films were used as matrix (universal nanocontainer) for incorporation of the active components - hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers and low molecular weight substances. Porous films are characterized by strongly developed relief surface which provides a high adhesion of an active component to the matrix. These films contain the open-to-surface and through pores with sizes in the range from tens to hundreds nanometers. Electroconducting polymers, hydrogels, natural polysaccharids and liquid crystals were used as the active components responsible for functional properties of composites. The effect of structure and morphology of composites on their functional and mechanical characteristics was investigated.
