Polysulfone and γ-alumina are highly promising materials for bio sanitary applications where biocompatibility, strength and hardness are key issues, but neat γ-alumina degrades the polymer at the high temperatures involved in its processing (320-360ºC). It is thus necessary to find surface modification methods which, besides, should comply with the stringent biosanitary protocols for manufacturing parts in contact with the body. Using a green chemistry methodology, it is shown that natural fatty acids are good candidates; they form bridging bidentate complexes that separate the polymer matrix from the nanoparticles. Surprisingly, although weak particle-matrix interactions are presumed, an important enhancement of mechanical performance has ...
