Effect of surface modification of sisal fibers on water absorption and mechanical properties of polyaniline composite

“…Fiber-reinforced conducting polymer composites can be synthesized by in situ chemical oxidation [18][19][20], emulsion [21], electrochemical [22], and dispersion polymerization [23]. The in situ deposition of polymers on surface substrates has emerged as promising method to alleviate processability issues associated with polyaniline and prevent formation of aggregates [24] to maximize surface area.…”

Bulk synthesis, optimization, and characterization of highly dispersible polypyrrole nanoparticles toward protein separation using nanocomposite membranes

“…In order to improve its processability and widen the applications, considerable effort has been devoted to produce colloidal PPy nanoparticles with controllable size, shape, composition, and surface chemistry. Examples include emulsion [17], interfacial [18], dispersion [19], template [20], and plasma polymerizations [21]. The emulsion, interfacial, and dispersion polymerizations use surfactants or bulky steric stabilizers to prevent nanoparticle aggregation caused by charge interaction.…”

Synthesis of Monodisperse Polystyrene Particles in the Presence of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Carboxyl-containing Initiator

“…In more alkaline solutions, 3COO ! Na + ion pairs are formed owing to an increase in the ionic strength of the reaction mixture [1,2]. By contrast, when the SDS concentration is equal to, or higher than CMC (Fig.…”
