Synthesis of Nanocomposite Hybrids

Abstract: Controllable synthesis of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanocrystals (NCs)/polymer transparent nanocomposite hybrids in situ based on the catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) technique. Firstly, a polymeric ligand PMAA [PMAA = poly(acrylic acid)] with controllable low-molecular-weight and a terminal double bond was synthesized through CCTP Catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has emerged as an efficacious method to produce low- molecular weight polymers. In this paper, we reported the first controllable synthesis of nanosilica surface-grafted poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (SI-PMMA) macromonomers by using bis(aqua)bis((difluoroboryl)- dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(II) (CoBF) as a chain transfer catalyst via CCTP.
