Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for controlling toxicity of metallic particles and a low-toxicity composite of metallic nanoparticles and inorganic clay. The metallic nanoparticles are effective in preventing infection and in skinning over, and thus suitable for treating scalds/burns. In the composite, the weight ratio of metallic nanoparticles to inorganic clay preferably ranges 0.1/99.9 to 6.0/94.0 in a size of about 5 to 100 nm. Preferably, the metal is silver and the inorganic clay is nano silicate platelets.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composite of spherical silver nanoparticles and layered inorganic clay. This composite can effectively inhibit the growth of silver-resistant bacteria. The layered inorganic clay serves as carriers of the silver nanoparticles and disperses them. The composite has a particle size of about 5 nm to 100 nm. The silver nanoparticles can be dispersed in an organic solvent or water.
Abstract:
The manufacturing process of a material of nanocomposites of the resin includes providing a nano-clay platelets liquid; adding a modification agent into the nano-clay platelets liquid, then stirring in a first time in a first temperature for making a cake product; taking the cake product heated in a second temperature and then crumbling the cake product for making a first powder; moving the water out of the first powder for making a second powder; adding a resin into the second powder, then stirring and baking for making the material of nanocomposites of the resin.
Abstract:
A phosphorous flame retardant primarily includes hexachlorotriphosphazene (HCP) having poly(oxyalkylene)amine substitutes. The poly(oxyalkylene)amine includes at least two end groups. The phosphorous flame retardant can further include layered silicate clay. The layered silicate clay can be intercalated and modified with the poly(oxyalkylene)amine substitutes of HCP to effectively promote thermal stability. The flame retardant, phosphazene-poly(oxyalkylene)amine adducts, can be applied to a polymer. By the cross-linking between them, the flame-retarding property of the polymer can be improved. Also provided is a method for producing the flame retardant of phosphazene-poly(oxyalkylene)amine adducts and application thereof to a polymer.

Abstract:
A stably-dispersed composite of metal nanoparticles and inorganic clay and a method for producing the composite, in which interlayered charges of the clay are replaced with the metal ions, which are then reduced to metal particles by a reducing agent. The metal particles will not aggregate together and can be stably uniformly dispersed with particle sizes smaller than conventional metal nanoparticles, and therefore have better antibiotic effect, catalytic ability and other advantages. Antibacterials in a solvent containing 0.01 wt % or more of the metal nanoparticles and inorganic clay are prepared and confirmed to be effective.
Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for synthesizing polyimides by a sequential self-repetitive reaction between poly (aryl carbodiimide) (p-CDI) or aryl diisocyanates with dianhydrides.
Abstract:
A carbon nanocapsule-layered silicate hybrid is provided. Layered silicates (platelet-shaped) as a dispersant are mixed with carbon nanocapsules (sphere-shaped) by a physical process. The physically mixed hybrid exhibits a homogeneous dispersion phase due to the geometric shape inhomogeneity factor. Aggregation of carbon nanocapsules is thus avoided. The hybrid can be dispersed in a polar or non-polar solvent with a solid content of about 0.01-30 wt %.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an exfoliating agent and to a process for producing random form of nanoscale silicate plates. Two types of exfoliating agents are applied in the present invention, which respectively have the formula: wherein R is a polyoxybutylene group, polyoxypropylene group, poly(oxyethylene/oxypropylene) group, or polyoxyethylene group. In this invention, layered silicate clays are exfoliated into random silicate plates by acidifying AMO or AEO with inorganic acid, adding the acidified AMO or AEO to layered silicate clay with agitation, and adding sodium hydroxide or chloride of alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal, in ethanol, water and a hydrophobic organic solvent to the intermediate product and repeating phase separation procedures to isolate random silicate plates from water phase.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a complex of clay and polyoxyalkylene amine grafted polypropylene and a method for producing the same. The clay in the present invention is formed by modifying inorganic layered silicate clay with an amphibious intercalating agent obtained by polymerizing polyoxyalkylene amine having molecular weight over 1,800 and polypropylene-grafting-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA). The method for producing the complex is primarily to polymerize the polyoxyalkylene diamine having molecular weight over 1,800 and polypropylene-grafting-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) to form an amphibious intercalating agent, which is then acidified with an inorganic acid, and mixed with the swelled clay by powerfully stirring at 60-80° C. for cation exchanging to obtain the titled complex. According to the present invention, the complex is an excellent surfactant and a reinforcing agent of polymers.
