  • Process for the preparation of a composite polymeric material
    Patent number: 7976745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composite polymeric material containing nanometric inorganic inclusions comprising the steps of: mixing a polymer with a thermolytic precursor to provide a homogeneous dispersion of said at least one precursor and of said at least one polymer; subjecting said homogeneous dispersion to heating to provide a molten polymer and thermolytic fission of the precursor, generating the inclusions dispersed in the molten polymer.

  • Method of production of polymer/metal or metal sulphide composites, which uses metal mercaptides
    Patent number: 7329700
    Abstract: The method for the production of polymer/metal or metal sulphide composites comprises the stages of: preparing a dispersion of a metal mercaptide in a polymer, the metal of the mercaptide being selected from the group comprising the transition metals and earth metals, and heating the said dispersion so as to cause thermal decomposition of the mercaptide and obtain the corresponding metal or metal sulphide in the form of inclusions in a polymer matrix.
