Hydrogels in drug delivery: progress and challenges

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold the promise of delivering exceptional mechanical properties and multi-functional characteristics. Ever-increasing interest in applying CNTs in many different fields has led to continued efforts to develop dispersion and functionalization techniques. To employ CNTs as effective reinforcement in polymer nanocomposites, proper dispersion and appropriate interfacial adhesion between the CNTs and polymer matrix have to be guaranteed. This paper reviews the current understanding of CNTs and CNT/polymer nanocomposites with two particular topics: (i) the principles and techniques for CNT dispersion and functionalization and (ii) the effects of CNT dispersion and functionalization on the properties of CNT/polymer nanocomposites. The fabrication techniques and potential applications of CNT/polymer nanocomposites are also highlighted.

Dispersion and functionalization of carbon nanotubes for polymer-based nanocomposites: a review

La poly(vinylpyrrolidone) est miscible avec le poly(methacrylate de chloromethyle) et avec le poly(methacrylate de chloroethyle) alors qu'elle est immiscible avec leurs equivalents non-chlores

Miscible blends of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) with poly(chloromethyl methacrylate) and poly(2-chloroethyl methacryalate)

The nonlinear optics and optical limiting properties of materials based on multifunctional fullerenol and poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) matrix were studied using 7 ns pulses of nanosecond laser operating at 532 nm wavelength. The observed imaginary and real parts of third order susceptibility of the fullerenol/polymer composite are found to be lower than that of its parent C60. The optical limiting performances of fullerenol and fullerenol incorporated with poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) have been proved to be poorer than that of C60 due to their higher limiting thresholds. Concentration dependence of poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) containing 32 mol% has been mainly contributed to the optical limiting performance of fullerenol.

Poly(α-methyl styrene-co-acrylonitrile) was found to be miscible with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl methacrylate) and with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate). All these blends exhibited lower critical solution temperatures. Poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) was also found to be miscible with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl methacrylate) and with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate). However, phase separation of these blends could not be induced by heating up to 300°C.

Group transfer copolymerisation of vinyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate

Poly(4-vinylpyridine)−dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid [P4VPy(DBSA)x] complexes form interpolymer complexes with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in ethanol. The layer structures with nearly unchanged long periods are retained in the interpolymer complexes even when the PAA content is as high as 50 wt %. P4VPy(DBSA)x complexes form miscible blends with poly(p-vinylphenol) (PVPh). The miscible blends also possess well-defined layer structures. PAA and PVPh are confined and dispersed in the polar layer of the P4VPy(DBSA)x complex.
