Synthesis of zinc oxide nanocomposites using poly (ionic liquid)

摘要

The method of synthesizing zinc oxide polymer nanocomposite comprises: dissolving equal molar ratios of a sulfonic acid acrylic monomer and a co-monomer with a cross linking agent to form a solution; dispersing the zinc-oxide nanoparticles into the solution; polymerizing the sulfonic acid acrylic monomer with the co-monomer by adding a free radical initiator followed by heating up the solution to a temperature up to 50° C.; raising the temperature up to 60° C. until a zinc oxide polymer nanocomposite is formed; and curing the nanocomposite by heating to at least 105° C. for about 24 hours to form the zinc oxide polymer nanocomposite, wherein the ionic liquid monomer is 2-ccrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid or a salt thereof and wherein the co-monomer is selected from the group consisting of vinyl pyrrolidone, acrylic acid and N-isopropyl acrylamide monomers.
