Oxygen-Sensitive Nanomaterials Synthesized in an Open System: Water-Triggered Nucleation and Its Controllability in the Growth Process
A novel method has been developed for synthesizing the oxygen-sensitive nanomaterial W<sub>18</sub>O<sub>49</sub>, utilizing 1,3-propanediol as a solvent, with water-triggered nucleation and controllable crystal growth in an open system. The amount of water addition was precisely investigated for the effect of the crystal growth process. Furthermore, the incorporation of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid into the process led to the successful preparation of a functionalized nanocomposite polyester, W<sub>18</sub>O<sub>49</sub>/poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PTF), through in situ polymerization, exhibiting superior thermal insulation properties.
