Physicochemical studies on nanosized material formed from acrylic acid and poly-di-methylsiloxane polymerization assisted by microwave

In this study nonosized polymeric structure have been synthesized by co-polymerization between poly-dimethylsiloxane( PDMS) and acrylic acid using microwave. The average particle size achieved by this method is 4 to 5nm which is smaller than that of other method used. The particle sizes of the samples were investigated by XRD (Xray diffraction) studies. The characterization of the synthesized microstructures was carried out with the help of UV (Ultraviolet), FT-IR (Fourier-transform-infra red), 1H-NMR and thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA-DTG). The structure of the PDMS-acrylic acid graft has been confirmed by spectral data
