The chemistry concerned with the sonochemical-assisted synthesis of CeO2/poly(amic acid) nanocomposites
Characterization with FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of nanocomposites with good dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. Both field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope analyses showed that the cerium oxide was well dispersed in the PAA matrix; it was dispersed in the PAA matrix on a nanometer scale.
