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

Miscibility of C60-containing poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) with styrenic polymers

The miscibility behavior of a series of halogen-containing polymethacrylates with poly(methyl acrylate), poly(ethyl acrylate), poly(n-propyl acrylate) and poly(n-butyl acrylate) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and for lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. Poly(chloromethyl methacrylate), poly(1-chloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2-chloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2,2-dichloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2,2,2-trichloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2-fluoroethyl methacrylate) and poly(1,3-difluoroisopropyl methacrylate) are miscible with some of the poly(alkyl acrylate)s. Most of the miscible blends show LCST behavior. However, poly(3-choloropropyl methacrylate), poly(3-fluoropropyl methacrylate), poly(4-fluorobutyl methacrylate), poly(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl methacrylate), poly(2-bromoethyl methacrylate) and poly(2-iodoethyl methacrylate) are immiscible with any of the poly(alkyl acrylate)s studied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Miscibility of Halogen‐containing Polymethacrylates with Various Poly(alkyl acrylate)s

Binary blends of poly(3-chloropropyl methacrylate) and poly(2-iodoethyl methacrylate) with aliphatic polyesters

The phase behavior of ternary poly-(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VPy)/poly-(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP)/bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane (BHPM) blends was studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic examinations demonstrated that BHPM interacts with P2VPy and PVP through hydrogen-bonding interactions. The addition of a sufficiently large amount of BHPM transformed an opaque blend with two glass-transition temperatures (Tg's) to a transparent single-Tg blend. Scanning electron microscopic studies showed that the transparent single-Tg blend is micro-phase-separated at a scale of about 30 nm. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
