磁性纳米包覆微球的制备和磁性表征

以胶体球形粒子为基体发展起来的纳米包覆(nano鄄coating)技术近来引起人们的极大兴趣,这种纳米包覆技术得到的产物常常被称为核壳粒子(core鄄shellparticles)。这种包覆一般是将纳米颗粒直接吸附在核微球上,或者包覆材料控制沉淀在核微球上[1,2]。这些复合微球常常展现出独特的光、电、力学、化学、催化等性质,因而具有广泛的研究和应用前景[3~7]。近十几年来,用做磁感应成像的超顺磁材料得到了深入的研究[4]。一方面,磁性颗粒的尺寸、电荷和表面成分对其应用有很大影响[8,9],另一方面,材料的磁学性质又主要取决于磁颗粒的大小[10]。Xu和Lindlar制备了含超顺磁颗粒的聚合物胶体颗粒,被用于构建超顺磁性的光子晶体[11,12]。在聚合物微粒上包覆氧化铁颗粒通常采用表面沉淀或表面改性官能团诱导反应包覆的方法。但这些方法不能很好控制复合微粒的均一性和表面平整性;Caruso的层鄄层包覆法(Layer鄄byLayer)虽然实现了磁性颗粒包覆[13],然而这种方法非常繁琐而不利于广泛应用。本文报道了一种新的合成磁性包覆颗粒的方法,即以聚合物微球为基核,通过非均相种子生长法包覆磁性纳米颗粒,并研究了...

Synthesis of nonspherical colloidal particles with anisotropic properties

We describe a promising and flexible technique for fabricating uniform nonspherical particles with anisotropic phase and surface properties. Our approach is based on the seeded polymerization technique in which monomer-swollen particles are polymerized. The polymerization causes a phase separation to occur, giving rise to two-phase nonspherical particles. We show that the elastic contraction of the swollen polymer particles induced by elevated polymerization temperatures plays an important role in the phase separation. Moreover, chemical anisotropy of nonspherical particles can be obtained by using immiscible polymer pairs and by employing surface treatments. Furthermore, we are able to produce amphiphilic dumbbell particles consisting of two different bulbs: hydrophilic poly (ethylene imine)-coated polystyrene and hydrophobic polystyrene. Controlled geometries of these amphiphilic nonspherical particles will allow a wide range of potential applications, such as engineered colloid surfactants.     

Synthesis of polymeric particles by seeded growth technique for the applications of particle self-assembly

In this study, shape-anisotropic polymeric particles were synthesized by seeded growth technique for the applications of particle self-assembly. First, cross-linked seed particle dispersion was prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization with divinylbenzene as cross-linker. Then, seeded growth scheme was applied to the seeds by swelling the particles with monomer and subsequent polymerization. The morphologies of the nonspherical particles could be controlled by adjusting the size and the amount of monomer during the swelling step or the cross-linking density of the seed particles, enabling the synthesis of prolate ellipsoids, lobed spheres with triangular shape, snowman-shaped particles, and dumbbell particles. As a demonstrative application, the cross-linked particles could be used as templates for the synthesis of porous materials, whereas dumbbell-shaped particles could be self-organized into colloidal clusters using toluene emulsions as confining geometries. Collectively, shape-anisotropic particles were found to be efficient building blocks to prepare the unique packing structures other than simple spherical colloids.     

Preparation of micron-sized nonspherical polystyrene/poly(styrene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) particles by seeded soap-free emulsion polymerization

Micron-sized nonspherical polymer particles having different morphologies were synthesized by seeded soap-free emulsion polymerization of styrene(St) and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA,used as a crosslinker) on spherical, linear polystyrene(PS) seed particles.The morphology of the resulting PS/poly(St-co-EGDMA) particles was dependent on the crosslinker concentration and polymerization temperature.     

Effect of second monomer and initiator type, mixing method, and stabilizer content on the shape of the particles produced by seeded dispersion polymerization in the presence of saturated hydrocarbon droplets

In this work, the preparation of micron-sized polymer particles with nonspherical shapes via seeded dispersion polymerization of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate with polystyrene seed particles in the presence of hydrocarbon droplets and evaporation of hydrocarbon after the polymerization under various polymerization conditions was discussed. The effect of second monomer and initiator type, mixing method, and stabilizer content on the shape of the obtained particles was investigated. It was observed that particles with more nonspherical shapes were obtained with increasing the alkyl chain length of ester group of the methacrylate of the second monomer which is because of increasing the absorption amounts of hydrocarbon by second polymer domains. Moreover, the experimental results showed that shape of the particles which was produced by shaking is more nonspherical than the shape of the particles which was obtained from tumbling. Furthermore, particles with different nonspherical shapes were prepared by changing the initiator type and stabilizer content.     

Uniform nonspherical latex particles as model interpenetrating polymer networks

Polystyrene/polystyrene latex interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared by seeded emulsion polymerization of styrene–divinylbenzene mixtures in crosslinked monodisperse polystyrene particles. The resulting latexes comprised uniform nonspherical particles, e.g., ellipsodal and egg-like singlets, symmetry and asymmetric doublets, and ice cream cone-like and popcorn-like multiplets. The nonspherical particles, which were formed by separation of the second-stage monomer from the crosslinked seed network during swelling and polymerization, are excellent models for studying phase separation in IPN's. The degree of phase separation increased with increasing degree of crosslinking of the seed particles, monomer/polymer swelling ratio, polymerization temperature, and seed particle size, and with decreasing divinylbenzene concentration in the swelling monomer. The results were consistent with a thermodynamic analysis based on the elastic-retractile force of the polymer network, the monomer/polymer mixing force, and interfacial tension force.     

Phase separation in polystyrene latex interpenetrating polymer networks

Polystyrene/polystyrene latex interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared by seeded emulsion polymerzation of styrene–divinylbenzene mixtures in crosslinked monodisperse polystyrene seed latexes. The resulting latexes comprised uniform nonspherical particles, which were formed by separation of the second-stage monomer from the crosslinked seed network during swelling and polymerization. The kinetics of phase separation were investigated by examining the changes in particle morphology using optical microscopy, which revealed that the phase separation was induced by the relaxation of the polymer chains before polymerization began and was enhanced by increased conversion. The thermodynamics of phase separation were investigated by analysis of the free-energy changes during swelling and polymerization, and the phase separation was described by a nucleation-and-growth mechanism. The results of this study have been applied to the design and synthesis of a series of uniform nonspherical particles of different morphology.     

Controllable synthesis of monodisperse nonspherical colloidal particles with cavity structures

This article reports a facile controllable approach to prepare monodisperse nonspherical colloidal particles with cavity structures by one‐pot soap‐free emulsion polymerization of styrene (St), 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MPS), and acrylic acid (AA). In our strategy, only by varying the feeding time of AA to the as‐polymerized St and MPS, the nonspherical latex particles with single cavity of different surface roughness and multicavity structures could be successfully synthesized. The depth and width of the cavity can be also easily controlled by adjusting the amount of MPS and AA. A possible formation mechanism is proposed on the basis of experimental results. These nonspherical colloidal particles, which have controllable cavity structures, are good building blocks or templates for the construction of functional coating and complex colloidal architectures. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) core-shell particles prepared by seeded precipitation polymerization: Unusual morphology and thermo-sensitivity of zeta potential

Poly（methyl methacrylate）/poly（N-isopropylacrylamide） （PMMA/PNIPAM） core-shell particles were synthesized by seeded precipitation polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide （NIPAM） in the presence of PMMA seed particles. The anionic potassium persulfate was used as initiator, and acrylic acid as functional comonomer. It was shown that the weight ratio of the PNIPAM shell to the PMMA core can be greatly increased through continuous addition of NIPAM monomer at a relatively slow rate. PMMA/PNIPAM particles with different shell thickness were obtained by varying the amount of charged NIPAM monomers. These particles exhibited unique nonspherical core-shell morphology. PMMA core was partially coated by dense hair-like or antler-like PNIPAM shell depending on the shell thickness. The measurement of these particles＇ zeta potential at different temperatures showed that the absolute value of zeta potential unusually decreased as the particle size decreased with temperature.     

Preparation and thermodynamic stability of micron-sized, monodisperse composite polymer particles of disc-like shapes by seeded dispersion polymerization

Micron-sized, monodisperse composite polymer particles having "disc-like" and "polyhedral" shapes were prepared by seeded dispersion polymerization of 2-ethylhexylmethacrylate (EHMA) with 2.67-mum-sized polystyrene (PS) seed particles in methanol/water media in the presence of droplets of various saturated hydrocarbons and evaporation of the hydrocarbon after the polymerization. Such nonspherical shapes were based on the volume reduction due to the evaporation. The primary factors influencing the particle shape seemed to be the absorption rate of the hydrocarbon into the resulting PS/poly(EHMA)/hydrocarbon composite particles during the polymerization, which affected the viscosities and the volumes of the PS and poly(EHMA) phases. It was found that the morphological development during the polymerization was retarded at "hamburger-like" morphology, which is a precursor of the disc-like particle, although this morphology is a thermodynamically metastable state.
