Abstract:
1. A method of making a reactive nanocomposite, the method comprising: dissolving a ligand in a solvent; adding the ligand solution to a mixture comprising a plurality of first reactive metal nanoparticles and a free radical scavenger; stirring the mixture with the ligand solution at a first elevated temperature to produce functionalized reactive metal nanoparticles having the ligand coupled to an exterior surface of first reactive metal nanoparticles of the plurality; and mixing the functionalized reactive metal nanoparticles with a free-radical initiator, a fluorinated monomer, and additional solvent at a second elevated temperature, such that the ligand interacts with the fluorinated monomer, thereby incorporating the functionalized metal nanoparticles into a fluorinated polymer matrix by in-situ polymerization.
