Novel chiral poly(amide-imide)/surface modified SiO2 nanocomposites based on N-trimellitylimido-l-methionine: Synthesis and a morphological study

- Bioactive DA was chemically placed on the surface of SiO2 NPs.
- PAI/SiO2 NCs were prepared with varying amount of SiO2 NPs by ultrasonic process.
- SiO2 NPs were dispersed homogeneously in the PAI matrix on nano-scale.
- Morphology and thermal stability of SiO2 NPs and PAI/SiO2 NCs were studied.
