Structures and thermal properties of chitosan-modified poly(methyl methacrylate)

The emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of chitosan with potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator was examined in a previous article. The free radicals that dissociated from KPS not only initiated the polymerization but also degraded the chitosan molecules. Therefore, in addition to its role as a cationic surfactant, chitosan also participated in the polymerization reaction. When the polymerization was complete, the latex polymer consisted of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) homopolymer and chitosan–PMMA copolymer. In this article, the structures and thermal properties of latex polymers are examined. Gel permeation chromatography was used to measure the molecular weight of the PMMA homopolymer, with the copolymer composition determined by an elemental analyzer. Scanning and transmission electronic microscopes were used to measure the size of latex particles from different reaction systems. The surface charges of latex particles at several different pH values were determined by the measurement of the ζ potential. All results agreed with the reaction mechanism proposed in the previous article. Finally, the presence of rigid chitosan increased the glass-transition temperature of the final latex polymers. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the degradation behavior of latex polymers was similar to the unzipping mechanism of PMMA, yet the presence of chitosan units hindered the unzipping of the main chains in chitosan–PMMA copolymers. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Impact modification of thermoplastics by methyl methacrylate and styrene-grafted natural rubber latexes

The preparation and characterization of polymer blends with structured natural rubber (NR)-based latex particles are presented. By a semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process, a natural rubber latex (prevulcanized or not) was coated with a shell of crosslinked polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polystyrene (PS). Furthermore, core–shell latexes based on a natural rubber/crosslinked PS latex semi-interpenetrating network were synthesized in a batch process. These structured particles were incorporated as impact modifiers into a brittle polymer matrix using a Werner & Pfleiderer twin screw extruder. The mechanical properties of PS and PMMA blends with a series of the prepared latexes were investigated. In the case of PMMA blends, relatively simple core (NR)–shell (crosslinked PMMA) particles improved the mechanical properties of PMMA most effectively. An intermediate PS layer between the core and the shell or a natural rubber core with PS subinclusions allowed the E-modulus to be adjusted. The situation was different with the PS blends. Only core–shell particles based on NR-crosslinked PS latex semi-interpenetrating networks could effectively toughen PS. It appears that microdomains in the rubber phase allowed a modification of the crazing behavior. These inclusions were observed inside the NR particles by transmission electron microscopy. Transmission electron photomicrographs of PS and PMMA blends also revealed intact and well-dispersed particles. Scanning electron microscopy of fracture surfaces allowed us to distinguish PS blends reinforced with latex semi-interpenetrating network-based particles from blends with all other types of particles.     

PS/PMMA mixed polymer brushes on the surface of clay layers: Preparation and application in polymer blends

Polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) mixed polymer brushes on the surface of clay layers were prepared by using in situ free radical polymerization. Free radical initiator molecules with two quaternary ammonium groups at both ends were intercalated into the interlayer spacing of clay layers. The amount of polymer brushes grafted on the surface of clay layers can be controlled by controlling the polymerization time. Thermogravimetric analysis, X‐ray diffraction, and high‐resolution transmission electron microscope results indicated successful preparation of the mixed polymer brushes on the surface of clay layers. The kinetics of the grafting of the monomers was also studied. The mixed polymer brushes on the surface of clay layers were used as compatibilizers in blends of PS and PMMA. In the blends, the intercalated clay particles tend to locate at the interface of two phases reducing the interfacial tension. In the meanwhile, PMMA homopolymer chains tend to intercalate into clay layers. The driving force for the intercalation is the compatibility between homo‐PMMA chains and PMMA brushes on the surface of clay layers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

种子表面改性法制备核壳结构PSt/SiO_2复合微球

首先采用无皂乳液聚合法合成了表面带负电荷、粒径为360nm的单分散聚苯乙烯(PSt)种子乳液,并以EtOH/H2O混合物为分散介质,利用γ-氨丙基三乙氧基硅烷(KH-550)在25℃下对PSt微球表面进行改性,得到了表面硅烷化并带有正电荷的改性PSt种子乳液,然后在碱性条件下加入原硅酸乙酯(TEOS)使其和微球进行共水解与共缩聚,制备出了核壳结构PSt/SiO2复合微球,并利用电镜对复合微球的结构形态进行了表征.研究表明,PSt种子乳液改性时体系的zeta电位随着KH-550用量的增加而升高,当KH-550用量为PSt种子重量的1/3时,体系的zeta电位从原来的-34.5mV升高到了38mV,达到对PSt微球表面改性的最佳值;在制备PSt/SiO2复合微球时,TEOS水解缩聚形成的SiO2包覆到改性微球上的量随着反应时间的延长而增加,反应24h时达到97.9%的最大值;随介质中水含量的增加,吸附到复合微球表面上的SiO2纳米颗粒逐渐减少,复合微球表面逐渐变得光滑,当EtOH/H2O质量比降低到60/28.5时,得到结构均一、壳层厚度为35nm的核壳结构PSt/SiO2复合微球。     

用聚合物乳液粒子构造纳米孔隙超低反射表面

由于粒子堆积膜的孔隙率有限,用聚合物乳液直接组装的纳米孔隙膜在膜厚和折射率的调节能力方面都受到限制,需要可以单独调控粒子膜孔隙率的手段.将聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)和聚苯乙烯(PS)的二元混合乳液在PMMA基板上旋涂,再用环己烷选择性溶去PS粒子得到了超低反射的纳米孔隙膜.改变混合乳液的组成可以调节多孔膜的空隙率,使多层纳米孔隙膜的有效折射率从1.36降低到1.07;调节旋涂速度和成膜乳液的浓度可以控制孔隙膜的厚度.在优化的条件下,在PMMA基板上制备的孔隙膜在波长585nm处的最低反射率仅0.03%、在450～800nm的可见光谱范围内的平均反射率低于0.4%.以本方法制备的纳米孔隙膜有较好的稳定性,在水中用超声波清洗30min后,膜的低反射性能几乎不变.     

Synthesis of nano-ZnO/poly(methyl methacrylate) composite microsphere through emulsion polymerization and its UV-shielding property

Nano-ZnO/poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) composite latex microspheres were synthesized by in-site emulsion polymerization. The interfacial compatibility between nano-ZnO particles and PMMA were improved by treating the surface of nano-ZnO particles hydrophobically using methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). TEM indicated that nano-ZnO particles present in nanosphere and have been encapsulated in the PMMA phase. FT-IR confirmed that MPTMS reacted with the nano-ZnO particle and copolymerized with MMA. It was clearly found from SEM that ZnO nanoparticles can be homogeneously dispersed in the PVC matrix. The absorbance spectrum of the nanocomposite polymer suggested that increasing the amount of nano-ZnO in composite particles could enhance the UV-shielding properties of the polymers. The nano-ZnO/PMMA composite particle could eliminate aggregation of ZnO nanoparticle and improve its compatibility with organic polymer. This means that the composite particles can be widely applied in lots of fields.

Layer-by-layer synthesis of multilayer core-shell latex and the film formation properties

Polymer latex particles were synthesized with multilayer core-shell structure via surface cross-linking emulsion polymerization. The latex core is coated with a five-layer shell. The polymerization was done in a semicontinuous fashion monitored by a dynamic laser scattering (DLS). The copolymer in each layer is designed with alternating high and low glass transition temperature (T(g)). Divinylbenzene (DVB) was added as the cross-linking agent in the synthesis of the "hard" layers to prevent the molecular diffusion from the adjacent "soft" layers. The layer-by-layer increment on the latex core is proved by the alternating changes on the film-formation capabilities of different latex emulsions at room temperature in correspondence with the variance in the T(g) of the outermost polymer layer. The detailed morphologies of the films formed by the latex with different number of layers were characterized by atom force microscopy (AFM). The deformation of the latex particles is largely depended on the nature of the polymer in the outermost layer of the latex particles. Further characterization carried out by multifrequency temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TOPEM-DSC) confirmed the layer-by-layer structure of the particles, although the molecular redistribution and the interlayer structures were observed. The work provides a routine toward the synthesis of multilayer polymer latexes.     

The morphology of composite polymer particles produced by multistage soapless seeded emulsion polymerization

 Composite polymer particles which contain poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) components (PMMA/PS composite particle) were synthesized by the method of multistage soapless seeded emulsion polymerization. In this study, the process of multistage soapless seeded emulsion polymerization included two-stage polymerization, three-stage polymerization or four-stage polymerization. The morphologies of the PMMA/PS composite particles were studied. The kinetic factor was the main force to control the morphology of the linear PMMA–PS composite particles which were synthesized by the method of two-stage reaction. Both the kinetic factor and the thermodynamic factor decide the morphology of the linear composite particles which were synthesized by the method of either three-stage or four-stage reaction. However, the thermodynamic factor cannot influence the morphology of the PMMA/PS composite particles with a cross-linked structure which were synthesized by the method of three-stage reaction. The cross-linked composite polymer particles had the morphology of a multilayer structure, which showed that the polymer layers accumulated in their order of production.

Preparation of organic/inorganic hybrid and hollow particles by catalytic deposition of silica onto core/shell heterocoagulates modified with poly[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate

The organic/inorganic hybrid particles PSt/P(St-CPEM)(θ)-g-PDMAEMA/SiO(2) were prepared by catalytic hydrolysis and subsequent polycondensation of tetraethoxysilane in the poly[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) layers grafted on the PSt/P(St-CPEM)(θ) core/shell heterocoagulates. The micron-sized PSt core and the submicron-sized P(St-CPEM) shell particles bearing ATRP initiating groups were synthesized by dispersion polymerization of styrene (St) and emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of St with 2-chloropropionyloxyethyl methacrylate (CPEM), respectively. The raspberry-shaped PSt/P(St-CPEM)(θ) heterocoagulates with a controlled surface coverage (θ=0.51, 0.81) were prepared by hydrophobic coagulation between the core and the shell particles in an aqueous NaCl solution near the T(g) of P(St-CPEM). Surface modification of heterocoagulates was carried out by ATRP of DMAEMA from the shell particles adsorbed on the core particles. Silica deposition was performed by simply adding tetraethoxysilane to a water/methanol dispersion of PSt/P(St-CPEM)(θ)-g-PDMAEMA. The SEM and TGA revealed that the resulting PSt/P(St-CPEM)(θ)-g-PDMAEMA/SiO(2) composites maintain a raspberry-like morphology after deposition of silica onto the PDMAEMA layer grafted on heterocoagulates. The micron-sized, raspberry-shaped or the submicron-sized, hole-structured silica hollow particles were obtained selectively by thermal decomposition of the PSt/P(St-CPEM)(θ)-g-PDMAEMA/SiO(2). The oriented particle array was fabricated by dropping anisotropically perforated silica particles onto a glass substrate settled at the bottom of a bottle filled with chloroform.

Preparation and clinical application of immunomagnetic latex

Magnetic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(methyl methacrylate‐co‐methacrylic acid) [P(MMA–MAA)] composite polymer latices were synthesized by two‐stage soapless emulsion polymerization in the presence of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) ferrofluids. Different types and concentrations of fatty acids were reacted with the Fe₃O₄ particles, which were prepared by the coprecipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts to obtain stable Fe₃O₄ ferrofluids. The Fe₃O₄/polymer particles were monodisperse, and the composite polymer particle size was approximately 100 nm. The morphology of the magnetic composite polymer latex particles was a core–shell structure. The core was PMMA encapsulating Fe₃O₄ particles, and the shell was the P(MMA–MAA) copolymer. The carboxylic acid functional groups (COOH) of methacrylic acid (MAA) were mostly distributed on the surface of the composite polymer latex particles. Antibodies (anti‐human immunoglobulin G) were then chemically bound with COOH groups onto the surface of the magnetic core–shell composite latices through the medium of carbodiimide to form the antibody‐coated magnetic latices (magnetic immunolatices). The MAA shell composition of the composite latex could be adjusted to control the number of COOH groups and thus the number of antibody molecules on the magnetic composite latex particles. With a magnetic sorting device, the magnetic immunolatices derived from the magnetic PMMA/P(MMA–MAA) core–shell composite polymer latex performed well in cell‐separation experiments based on the antigen–antibody reaction. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

无皂高分子胶乳粒子的组成、单分散性和稳定性

分别用控压微波辐照法、常压微波辐照法和常压水浴合成法制备出无皂聚苯乙烯胶乳粒子.运用静态激光光散射和动态激光光散射对粒子的表观分子量及其粒径大小与分布进行了表征.结果表明,微波辐照加热法对于形成小尺寸、单分散的胶乳粒子起着很重要的作用.通过凝胶渗透色谱仪（GPC）测定聚合产物的分子量,并结合Zimm作图法,计算出胶乳粒子所含高分子链的数目.发现由控压微波辐照法所得到的聚苯乙烯胶乳粒子的表观分子量最大,而且粒子的分散性并不是由聚合物高分子链的分散性直接决定的.在微波辐照下的无皂乳液聚合,虽然聚合物的高分子链大小不一,但它们在乳液中缠结在一起而形成的胶乳粒子却具有单分散性.通过对均聚和共聚乳液进行静置考察,发现无皂高分子胶乳粒子的稳定性与制备方法、共聚单体的结构及性质有着密切的关系.     

Miniaturization of anisotropic composite particles incorporating a silica particle smaller than 100 nm

Two-step aqueous polymerizations with a water-soluble initiator of potassium persulfate were conducted to prepare anisotropic composite particles incorporating a silica core smaller than 100 nm. The two-step polymerization consisted of the first polymerization to coat the silica cores with cross-linked polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) shell and the second polymerization to protrude a polystyrene (PSt) bulge from the core–shell particles. The concentration of ionic comonomer of sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS) in the first polymerization was an important factor to stabilize the core–shell particles during the second polymerization as well as the first one, and an appropriate concentration of NaSS could prepare the anisotropic composite particles incorporating a single core. Another important factor for small, anisotropic composite particles was duration time for swelling the core–shell particles with the second monomer of styrene. Extension of the duration time from 2 to 4 h facilitated protrusion of the PSt bulge from the particles incorporating a 44-nm silica core. The composite particles were also employed to fabricate anisotropic hollow particles. Chemical etching of silica component in the composite particles with hydrofluoric acid successfully created anisotropic hollow polymer particles with a cavity size corresponding to the silica cores.
