Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a class of metal oxide frameworks, whose structures, morphologies, and elecrionic properties can be designed and tuned to meet with different demands. POM-organic hybrids are usually made by linking organic part onto the active site of POMs. They have been widely applied in the field of catalysis, electronics, medicine and biology because they have some extraordinary properties. As far as making POMs into catalysts, there are some problems: 1) poor processability and recyclability for homogenous catalyst; 2) low efficiency for the heterogeneous catalyst. In this work, we developed a new way to fabricate POM based latex particles via emulsion polymerization. These nanoparticles are formed with core-shell structure with polystyrene as core and POMs covered the surface and can be used as quasi-homogenous catalyst, which are easy to recycle and also can maximize the catalytic efficiency. This work explored a new idea to make POM-base catalysts.
