A facile route for the preparation of novel optically active poly(amide-imide)/functionalized zinc oxide nanocomposites containing pyromellitoyl-bis-L-phenylalanine moieties

Abstract

In the present investigation, at first, the surface of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was treated with a silane coupling agent of γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy silane (KH570), which introduces organic functional groups on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles.
