Khlifa and A. Youssef and A. F. Zaed and A. Kraft and V. Arrighi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A series of polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles were prepared by grafting polystyrene from both aggregated silica and colloidally dispersed silica nanoparticles using atom-transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP). Cross-linking and macroscopic gelation were minimised by using a miniemulsion system. The thermal and mechanical behaviour of the nanocomposites have been examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {12}, year = {2014}, pages = {1358 - 1362}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9999962}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/96}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 96, 2014}, }
