Characterization of polystyrene filled with HgS nanoparticles
Source abstract
Abstract
A polystyrene (PS)–HgS nanocomposite has been synthesized by first preparing a copolymer of styrene and mercury–acrylamide (5% by weight) and further reaction of it with H2S in chloroform solution. The effect of the HgS nanoparticles on the physical properties of the composite has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The glass transition temperature of the composite is 20 jC higher than that of polystyrene. The thermal stability of the composite is higher than that of polystyrene as evidenced by the shift of onset temperature of degradation by 12 jC as measured by TGA. D 2003 Elsevier B.V.
