Synthesis and Properties of Ethylene Imine-Based Porous Polymer Nanocomposites with Metal Oxide Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Ethylene imine-based porous polymer nanocomposites were prepared by ring-opening polymerization of 2,2-bishydroxymethylbutanol-tris [3-(1-aziridinyl)propionate] (3AZ), a tri-functional aziridine compound, in the presence of commercially available metal oxide nanoparticles, SiO₂ or ZrO₂, accompanied by polymerization-induced phase separation. The reactions with SiO₂ and ZrO₂ nanoparticles successfully yielded nanocomposite porous polymers as rigid materials. The nanocomposite porous polymers with SiO₂ and ZrO₂ nanoparticles showed characteristic surface morphologies composed of gathered particles with diameters less than 1 micrometer. These nanocomposites were effective in increasing Young's moduli of the porous polymers due
