  • METHODS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF MODULAR POLY(PHENYLENEETHYNYLENES) AND FINE TUNING THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES THEREOF FOR THE FUNCTIONALIZATION OF NANOMATERIALS
    Publication number: 20120259073
    Abstract: Poly(aryleneethynylene) polymers for exfoliating and dispersing/solubilizing nanomaterial are provided herein. The poly(aryleneethynylene) polymers have unit monomer portions, each monomer portion having at least one electron donating substituent thereby forming an electron donor monomer portion, or at least one electron withdrawing substituent thereby forming an electron accepting monomer portion. Such polymers exfoliate and disperse nanomaterial without presonication of the nanomaterial.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 17, 2012
    Publication date: October 11, 2012
    Applicant: ZYVEX PERFORMANCE MATERIALS, INC.
    Inventors: Hassan Ait-Haddou, Marni Rutkofsky
