Simultaneous and consecutive VASP of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) on the pre-modified MMT induced the accumulation of poly(MMA-ran-St) and poly(MMA-block-St) on the MMT surface, resulting in effective intercalation and exfoliation of silicate layers. The homogeneously dispersed silicate platelets in the polymer matrices were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analyses. An important contributor to this phenomenon must be the particular interaction between a small amount of MMA-units and silicate surfaces. This approach allows the nanocomposites with accompanying intercalation and exfoliation of silicate layers to be applied to a wide range of vaporizable monomers which in the absence of this technique would be otherwise difficult to individually prepare.}, pages = {7930--7935}, title = {Simple Procedure for Polystyrene-based Nanocomposite Preparation by Vapor-Phase Assisted Surface Polymerization}, volume = {42}, year = {2009}, yomi = {アンドウ, ヨシト and ニシダ, ハルオ and エンドウ, タケシ} }
