Fluorographite Nanoplatelets with Covalent Grafting of Anion-Exchange Resins for Water Purification
We have developed a novel green synthetic method to covalently graft fluorographite (FGi) nanoplatelets, with quaternary ammonium polyelectrolyte chains under mild reaction conditions in water. Radical centers on the fluorographite layers react with the radical chain end on short strands of anion-exchange resins…
Sonochemical Functionalization of Boron Nitride Nanomaterials
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and hexagonal boron nitride platelets (h-BNs) have received considerable attention for aerospace insulation applications due to their exceptional chemical and thermal stability. Presently, making BN nanomaterials compatible with polymer and composite matrices is challenging…
