Mina Namvari Holds a BSc in pure chemistry, a MSc and PhD in organicchemistry and biochemistry. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at theCollege of Material Science and Engineering of Shenzhen University.
She is working on modification of nanomaterials. She has extensiveexperience in functionalization of nanomaterials such as graphene oxide andiron oxide nanoparticles as well as synthesis of organicmolecules. The results of her research have been published in peer reviewedpapers.
N-ethyl acrylamide was grafted ontographene oxide (GO) using chain transfer agent-modified sheets.
GO, prepared with modifiedHummers’ methods, was first reacted with sodium azide to modify the sheets withazide functionality. The acetylene moiety was introduced to the RAFT agentusing propargyl alcohol. rGO-RAFT was obtained after these two materials wereclicked together. To obtain water soluble network, poly (N-ethylacrylamide) (PNEAM) was prepared using RAFT polymerization.Fouriertransform-infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction,and scanning electron microscopy results all demonstrated that rGO-RAFT and PNEAMwere successfully produced on the surfaces of rGO-sheets.
