Preparation of SiO2/PMMA composite particles via conventional emulsion polymerization

A series of SiO₂/PMMA composite particles with different morphologies were prepared by conventional emulsion polymerization by the aid of acid–base interaction between the silanol groups of unmodified silica particles and the amino groups of 4‐vinylpyridine. In this approach, no surface treatment for nanosilica particles was required. The morphologies of composite particles, for example, multicore–shell, raspberry‐like, and conventional core–shell, could be controlled by modulating emulsifier content, monomer/silica ratio, silica size, and monomer feed method. The possible particle formation mechanisms were discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 3807–3816, 2006     

Preparation of PEG-modified urethane acrylate emulsion and its emulsion polymerization

In order to improve stability and reduce droplet size, the PEG-modified urethane acrylates were synthesized by the reaction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with residual isocyanate groups of urethane acrylate to incorporate hydrophilic groups into the molecular ends. The droplet sizes of the PEG-modified urethane acrylate emulsions were much smaller than those of unmodified urethane acrylate emulsions at the same surfactant composition, and the droplet sizes of these emulsions were significantly effected not by surfactant compositions and types, but by the reaction molar ratio of PEG, because the urethane acrylate containing polyoxyethylene groups as terminal groups aided the interfacial activity of surfactant molecules and acted as a polymeric surfactant. The actions of PEG-modified urethane acrylate were confirmed by the investigation of adsorption of urethane acrylate in a water/benzene interface.For polymerization of emulsions, the stability of emulsion in the process of emulsion polymerization was changed by the type of surfactant or initiator. In the case of emulsion polymerization with a water soluble initiator (K₂S₂O₈), the emulsions prepared using TWEEN 60 were broken in the process of polymerization. However, polymerization of these emulsions could be carried out using an oil soluble initiator (AIBN). The conversion of emulsion polymerization changed with the type of urethane acrylates, that is, the reaction molar ratio of PEG to 2-HEMA.     

Synthesis of polyaniline/multiwall carbon nanotube composite via inverse emulsion polymerization

The composite of polyaniline (PANI) and multiwall carbon nanotube carboxylated through acid treatment (c‐MWCNT) was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization in an inverse emulsion system. The resultant composites were compared with products from aqueous emulsion polymerization to observe the improvements in electrical conductivity, structural properties, and thermal stability obtained by this synthetic method. Prior to the inverse emulsion polymerization, MWCNT was treated with a strong acid mixture to be functionalized with carboxylic acid groups. Carboxylic acid groups on surfaces induced selective dispersibility between polar and nonpolar solvents because of the increase of hydrophilicity. As the content of c‐MWCNT was increased, the electrical conductivity was increased by a charge transport function from the intrinsic electrical conductivity of MWCNT and the formation of a highly ordered dense structure of PANI molecules on the surface of c‐MWCNT. The images observed with electron spectroscopy showed the capping of c‐MWCNT with PANI. The growth of additional ordered structures of PANI/c‐MWCNT composite, which was observed through wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction patterns, supported the capping by PANI. It was observed that the doping of the composite had a significant relationship with the concentration of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA). The thermal stability of PANI composite was improved by the addition of c‐MWCNT; this was thought to be related with structure ordering by inverse emulsion polymerization. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polyurethane–nanosilica hybrid nanocomposites synthesized by frontal polymerization

Polyurethane–nanosilica hybrids were synthesized with frontal polymerization. Structurally well‐dispersed and stable hybrids were obtained via a two‐step functionalization process: First, the silica was encapsulated with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). Second, poly(propylene oxide) glycol, toluene 2,4‐diisocyanate, 1,4‐butanediol, and a catalyst (stannous caprylate) were dissolved in dimethylbenzene and mixed together at room temperature along with the modified nanosilica. A constant‐velocity propagating front was initiated via the heating of the end of the tubular reactor. For the complete encapsulation of the silica with APTS, different weight ratios of APTS to silica were investigated. The polyurethane hybrids were characterized with Fourier transform infrared, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. The polyurethane hybrids produced by frontal polymerization had the same properties as those produced by batch polymerization with stirring, but the frontal polymerization method required significantly less time and lower energy input than the batch polymerization method. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of polypyrrole/graphite oxide composite by in situ emulsion polymerization

This work demonstrates a feasible route to synthesize the layered polypyrrole/graphite oxide (PPy/GO) composite by in situ emulsion polymerization in the presence of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as emulsifier. AFM and XRD results reveal that the GO can be delaminated into nanosheets and well dispersed in aqueous solution in the presence of CTAB. The PPy nanowires are formed due to the presence of the lamellar mesostructured (CTA)₂S₂O₈ as a template. The results of the PPy/GO composite indicate the PPy insert successfully into GO interlayers, and the nanofiber‐like PPy are deposited onto the GO surface. Owing to π–π electron stacking effect between the pyrrole ring of PPy and the unoxided domain of GO sheets, the electrical conductivity of PPy/GO composite (5 S/cm) significantly improves in comparison with pure PPy nanowires (0.94 S/cm) and pristine GO (1 × 10^?6 S/cm). © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate using a polymerizable surfactant. I. Kinetic studies

A polymerizable surfactant, sodium dodecyl allyl sulfosuccinate (TREM LF-40; Henkel) and its nonpolymerizable counterpart were used in comparative studies of the emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate. The conversion-time behavior differed for the two surfactants; the TREM LF-40 showed a decrease in the polymerization rate with increasing concentration while its hydrogenated derivative showed the opposite behavior, the rate increasing with increasing surfactant. Particle size analysis revealed a decreasing particle size with increasing surfactant concentration for both series of reactions. An explanation for the seemingly ambiguous results obtained for the polymerizable surfactant was sought by examining the reactivity of its vinyl group in copolymerization with vinyl acetate and its allylic group in a chain transfer reaction. The results suggest that both the copolymerization and chain transfer reactions can lead to the observed reduction in polymerization rate with increasing TREM LF-40 concentration. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
