Polyethylene Grafted Silica Nanoparticles Prepared via Surface-Initiated ROMP
Abstract
Polyethylene and nanosilica represent the most ubiquitous commodity plastic and nanocomposite filler, respectively. Despite their possible utility, few examples exist in the literature of successfully combining these two materials to form polyethylene nanocomposites. Synthesizing well-defined polyethylene grafted to a surface is a significant challenge in the nanocomposites community. Presented in this paper is a synthetic approach toward polyethylene grafted nanoparticles with controllable graft density and molecular weight of the grafted polymer. The variably grafted nanoparticles were then incorporated into a commercial high density polyethylene matrix. The synthesis, characterization, and challenges in making these materials are further discussed.
