Polymeric matrix inorganic phase into

Given the advantages of incorporation of an inorganic phase into a polymeric matrix, the G5-glass has been combined with a 95L/5DL-PLA in order to develop a nonporous 2D fully resorbable composite material that could be used in different load-bearing bone-repairing situations. 

MMMs consist of an inorganic or inorganic-organic hybrid material in the form of micro or nanoparticles (discrete phase) incorporated into a polymeric matrix. Use of two materials with different flux and selectivity provides the possibility to design a better gas separation membrane, allowing the synergistic combination of polymers, with easy processability and the superior gas-separation performance of inorganic materials. 

Recently, Boilot et al. utilized sol-gel method as the subsequent annealing treatment for the preparation of YV04 Eu " NPs (Mialon et al., 2008). At room temperature, water-phase precipitation always produced inorganic NPs with low crystallinity, so the author re-dispersed the crude YV04 Eu + NPs into a polymeric silica sol for sol-gel thermal annealing. The silica matrix could prevent the aggregation and growth of NPs even... 

It is, however, not surprising that the prediction is in general only approximately Mfilled for the polymeric piezoelectrics and seems to break down completely for the inorganic piezoelectrics. The model apparently works best for polymers in which the elastic compliance of the phase that is essential for piezoelectricity clearly dominates the overall compliance (i.e., the soft amorphous matrix in semicrystalline polymers above their respective glass-transition temperatures or the gas-filled cavities in polymer ferroelectrets, respectively). When looking at the spring model and its comparison with selected experimental data from the literature (cf. Fig. 5), the following points should be taken into accormt ... 

Research in the block copolymer community has also focused on the incorporation of inoiganic content into block copolymer structures to increase the etch resistance of the matrix phase and enable a higher aspect ratio etch into the substrate. Two methods that have been described in the literature are the direct polymerization of an inorganic-containing monomer into the block copolymer architecture, and blending inorganic molecules in solution with the block copolymer.
