Surface modification of crosslinked poly(styrene-divinyl benzene) micrometer-sized particles of narrow size distribution by ozonolysis

Porous polymer particles—A comprehensive guide to synthesis, characterization, functionalization and applications

“…Since emulsion prepared seeds are generally in the submicron range, they are suitable for obtaining particles up to 10 µm in diameter after the suspension polymerization stage [68][69]. On the other hand, dispersion polymerized seeds can be in the range of 1-20 µm, thus 10-200 µm particles can be obtained in the suspension polymerization stage [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79]. Note that a volume enlargement of 10 6 times would be needed for a 1 µm seed to be swollen by the new monomer(s) to 100 µm.…”

“…A slope instead of a plateau for the second zone of the curves indicates low mechanical strength [13,293]. In addition, combination of TGA and DSC is also proposed as a method of mechanical strength measurement [72][73]. These methods are suitable for particles of any shape, size and size distribution.…”

Novel Coloration of Cotton Fabrics by UV-induced Phtografting of Reactive Black 5 and Acrylic acid

“…Surface grafting process can graft polymer chains onto textile surfaces without significantly altering their bulk properties. The graft polymerization on polymeric fibers can be initiated with the use of ozone 6) , γ rays 7) , electron beams 8) , plasma 9) , corona discharge 10) , and UV irradiation 11,12) . Among them, surface graft polymerizations induced by UV irradiation exhibit several advantages such as fast reaction rate, simple equipment, easy exploitation, low temperature treatment, energy saving and environmentally friendliness.…”

Determination of ozone solubility in polymeric materials

“…Although some literature about ozone/polymer interaction is available [10][11][12], no data on absorption of ozone into polymers could be found. Only ozone adsorption data onto inorganic particles has been reported in [13,14].…”
