Abstract

The incorporation of metallic elements, such as gold, into porous polymeric foams is an important focus for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. Incorporation was attempted from copolymerization of new organogold(I) monomers and various co-monomers by three development methods. This report describes the preparation of new polymeric gold foams, polymerizable high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) foams, divinylbenzene (DVB) foams and acrylate foams (TMPTA foams). The resulting gold-doped foams are characterized by elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). A very homogeneous distribution of gold into the polymeric structure is obtained.

Notes

  1. Supercritical CO2 drying: Supercritical CO2 drying was performed in an autoclave under which there is a magnetic agitator. Such drying is progressive, which should limit stretching and distortions due to osmotic pressure. For an homogeneous mix, a magnetic bar was placed in the autoclave and the magnetic agitator was regulated at 300 trs/mn. The autoclave was maintained in these conditions for 20 h under CO2 before classical drying at 50 °C under a pressure of 210 bars.
