Synthesis of iron oxide/poly(methyl methacrylate) composite latex particles: Nucleation mechanism and morphology

A magnetic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite latex was prepared by soapless emulsion polymerization in the presence of ferrofluid, and the ferrofluid was prepared by means of a coprecipitation method. The effects of various polymerization parameters, such as the monomer concentration, ferrofluid content, and initiator concentration, on the conversion curve and particle size of the magnetic composite latex particles were examined in detail. The results showed that two nucleation mechanisms were involved according to the polymerization conditions. In the monomer‐rich and less ferrofluid system, self‐nucleation of PMMA was dominant over the entire course of emulsion polymerization. In the ferrofluid‐rich system, seeded emulsion polymerization was the main course to form the magnetic composite latex particles. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polystyrene/Fe3O4 composite latex via miniemulsion polymerization‐nucleation mechanism and morphology

In this research, oil‐based Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were prepared by means of coprecipitation method followed by a surface modification using lauric acid. Oil‐based Fe₃O₄ could disperse in styrene, and polystyrene/Fe₃O₄ (PS/Fe₃O₄) composite particles were prepared via miniemulsion polymerization in the presence of potassium peroxide (KPS) as an initiator, sodium dodecyl sulphate as a surfactant, hexadecane or sorbitan monolaurate(Span 20) as a costabilizer. The effects of Fe₃O₄ content, homogenization energy, amount of initiator, amount of surfactant and costabilizer on the conversion, size distributions of droplets and latex particles, nucleation mechanism and morphology of composite latex particles were investigated. The results showed that different nucleation mechanisms dominated during the course of reaction when polymerization conditions changed. The most important two key factors to influence the nucleation mechanism were homogenization energy and initiator. High homogenization energy provided critically stabilized size of droplets. Otherwise, secondary nucleation, including micellar and/or homogeneous nucleation, would take place rather than droplet nucleation when a water‐soluble initiator, KPS, was used. It resulted in two populations of latex particles, pure PS particles in smaller size and PS/Fe₃O₄ composite particles in larger size. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of P(AA‐SA)/ZnO composite latex particles via inverse miniemulsion polymerization and its application in pH regulation and UV shielding

Poly(acrylic acid‐co‐sodium acrylate)/zinc oxide, P(AA‐SA)/ZnO, composite latex particles were synthesized by inverse miniemulsion polymerization. The ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and undergone oleic acid (OA) surface treatment. The X‐ray diffraction pattern and FT‐IR spectra characterized the crystal structure and functional groups of OA‐ZnO nanoparticles. An appropriate formulation in preparing P(AA‐SA) latex particles, ensuring the dominant in situ particle nucleation and growth, was developed in our experiment first. Sodium hydroxide was chosen as a costabilizer, because of its ability to increase the deprotonation of acylic acid and enhance the hydrophilicity of monomer, acrylic acid besides providing osmotic pressure. The growth mechanism of P(AA‐SA)/ZnO composite particles was proposed. The OA‐ZnO nanoparticles were adsorbed on or around the surface of P(AA‐SA) latex particles by hydrophobic interaction, thus enhanced the interfacial tension over latex particles. The P(AA‐SA)/ZnO composite latex particles owned better thermal stability than pure latex particles. The pH regulation capacity was excellent for both ZnO and P(AA‐SA) particles. Combining P(AA‐SA) and ZnO nanoparticles into composite particles, the performance in pH regulation and UV shielding was discussed from our experimental results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nucleation of gold nanoparticles on latex particle surfaces

Gold particles were nucleated on functionalized (i.e., sulfonate or imidazole groups) latex particle surfaces. Gold ions were associated with the functional groups present on the surface of the latex particles by metal‐ligand formation and were then reduced to nucleate gold particles on the particle surface. The use of imidazole groups favored the metal‐ligand formation more effectively compared with sulfonic acid groups, so gold nucleation was investigated on the surface of imidazole‐functionalized model latex particles. The desorption of gold atoms or their surface migration first occurred during the reduction process and then gold nanoparticles were nucleated. The utilization of strong reductants, such as NaBH₄ and dimethylamine borane (DMAB) under mildly acidic conditions (i.e., pH 4) led to the deprotonation of imidazole‐rich polymer chains present on the surface of the model latex particles followed by deswelling of hydrophilic polymer surface layers. As a result, well‐dispersed gold nanoparticles were embedded in the hydrophilic polymer surface. On the other hand, the use of weak reductants led to the formation of localized gold aggregates on the surface of the latex particles. The removal of residual styrene monomer is very important because gold ions can be coordinated with the vinyl groups present in styrene monomer and would then be reduced by nucleophilic water addition. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nucleation in Emulsion Polymerization: Another Step towards Non-Micellar Nucleation Theory

Summary : Comprehensive experimental results of the nucleation stage of styrene emulsion polymerization in the absence as well as in the presence of emulsifier at different concentrations are presented. In addition, the influence of initiator type and presence of seed particles are studied. The nucleation mechanism is verified by means of on-line monitoring of the optical transmission and the conductivity of the aqueous phase. Results prove that micelles do not alter the nucleation mechanism which comprises the initiation of water soluble oligomers in the aqueous phase followed by their aggregation into colloidally stable latex particles. Surfactants assist with nucleation as they lower the activation free energy of particle formation. Contrary, in the presence of seed particles above a critical volume fraction the formation of new particles can be suppressed.     

Influence of hexadecane on the formation of droplets and growth of particles for methyl methacrylate miniemulsion polymerization

The evolution of monomer droplets and latex particles of methyl methacrylate miniemulsions, initiated by an oil‐phase initiator, stabilized by a cationic surfactant mixture, and costabilized by different amounts of hexadecane, was investigated. With an increasing hexadecane concentration, the ultrasonication time required for the miniemulsions to reach a critically stabilized state was reduced, and a unimodal size distribution of the droplets with a decreasing average diameter was obtained. For lower hexadecane concentrations, a bimodal size distribution of the latex particles, with a significant increase in the volume fraction of the smaller latex particles, was achieved after the polymerization. The enhanced growth of the volume fraction of the smaller latex particles came from both nucleation of the shrinking droplets due to Ostwald ripening and homogeneous and/or micellar nucleation, if micelles existed, triggered by radicals in the aqueous phase. For high hexadecane concentrations, Ostwald ripening was effectively retarded, and the miniemulsions were sufficiently stabilized against the degradation of molecular diffusion. The size distributions of the droplets and latex particles were almost identical. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 4603–4610, 2006     

Improvement of the storage stability and photostability of colored latex prepared by miniemulsion polymerization

Polymer particles containing oil-soluble dyes (colored latex) were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. The dye preservation properties of colored latex loaded with different types of dye were studied; preservation depended on the rate of dye diffusion and thus on the size of the dye molecules and the hardness of the polymer matrix in the latex particles. Hindered amine stabilizers (HAS) were used to improve the photostability of colored latex. The effect of HAS in colored latex was investigated both as an additive and as a comonomer. The photostability of latex particles containing a simple mixture of dye and HAS was improved with increasing HAS content up to 20% in particles. In the case of colored latex particles combined with HAS by a covalent bond, the optimal amount of HAS for photostability improvement was between 8 and 20%.
