‘In situ polymerization and composite formation’ (IPCF): An important synthesis route in advanced materials science

Mallick K., Witcomb M.J., Strydom A.M., Mintek, ZA

‘In situ polymerization and composite formation’ (IPCF) types of reactions for the synthesis of ‘metal-polymer composite material’ have a potential advantage in the area of ‘synthetic material science’ since both the polymer and the nanoparticles [...]

Metal-polymer hybrid material: A unique coordination for carbon-carbon coupling reactions

Islam R.U., Witcomb M.J., Mallick K., Mintek, ZA

A method for making poly-aminophenol based hybrid material by in-situ polymerization of aminophenol using palladium acetate as the oxidant is described. The oxidative polymerization of aminophenol leads to the formation of poly-aminophenol, while the reduction [...]
