An Approach towards Nano-size Crystals of Poly(acrylic acid):Polymerization Using Layered Double Hydroxides as Template

摘要

A new approach has been proposed and was shown to be a feasible method to produce nanosized polymer crystals of poly-(acrylic acid).The new approach involves in situ polymerization of acrylic acid in the interlayers of a layered double hydroxides(LDHs)followed by exchange of the polymer anion for carbonate.The key is the use of LDHs as a template.
