Novel nanocomposites obtained by dispersion of LDH modified with N-tetrabromophthaloyl-glutamic in poly(amide-imide) having N-trimellitylimido-l-leucine and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylether units

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted much attention as nanofillers in polymer nanocomposites (NCs) due to their particular surface structural, positively charged layer and so on. In this study, a chiral diacid was synthesized by the reaction of tetrabromophthalic anhydride and glutamic acid. LDH was modified by co-precipitation of aluminum nitrate, magnesium nitrate, and glutamic acid containing diacid.

Structure, morphology and electronic properties of L-phenylalanine edge-functionalized graphite platelets through Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction

In this study, in order to develop functionalized graphite without damaging the graphitic basal plane, graphite was edge-selectively functionalized with biosafe L-phenylalanine amino acid through direct Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction in polyphosphoric acid/phosphorus pentoxide medium.
