NANOPARTICLE PREPARATION, PREMIX COMPRISING SUCH NANOPARTICLE PREPARATION AND MONOMER, METHOD FOR MODULATING THE CHEMICAL AND/OR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A POLYMER, PROCESS FOR OBTAINING A MODIFIED POLYMER AND MODIFIED POLYMER
The present invention pertains to the field of polymers and nanotechnology. More specifically, the invention discloses a nanoparticle preparation, a premix comprising monomers and nanoparticles, their use in the preparation of polymers having special properties, and modified polymers. The invention provides notable modifications in the properties of polymers, breaking, in practice, with previous concepts in the field of polymers. Examples include, for one and the same polymer: a change in stress resistance parameters and changes in glass transition temperature, among other notable modifications. The invention is useful in a variety of applications and solves several technical problems, including modifying various properties and the uses of polymers in general.
