采用无皂乳液聚合法合成了聚(苯乙烯-co-甲基丙烯酰氧乙基三甲基氯化铵)(poly(St-co-DMC))纳米粒子,平均粒径约为100 nm.以此纳米粒子为模板,在接近室温及p H为中性的温和条件下,以四甲氧基硅烷(TMOS)为硅源,合成了poly(St-co-DMC)/Si O2杂化纳米粒子,TEM结果显示该纳米粒子具有明显的核壳结构,Si O2主要沉积在壳层.进一步通过四氢呋喃溶解制备得到具有空心结构的纳米粒子,这种空心结构纳米粒子的FTIR图谱中既有Si O2的信号,也有poly(St-co-DMC)的信号,说明空心纳米粒子的壳层不完全是Si O2,对空心纳米粒子的TGA结果分析计算得到Si O2的含量仅为69.7%,说明纳米粒子的壳层为杂化壳层,并且,这种壳层的厚度随着反应温度的升高、反应时间的延长、TMOS用量的增加及聚合物模板中DMC含量的增加而增大.

SiO2/聚合物核壳型杂化粒子及其空心结构的制备

SiO2/聚合物核壳型杂化粒子及其空心结构以其独特的形貌在药物控制释放、催化剂载体、生物医药等领域应用前景广阔,引起了人们的广泛关注。本文着重从乳液聚合法、仿生矿化法等制备方法角度阐述了SiO2/聚合物核壳型杂化粒子及其空心结构的研究进展。乳液聚合制备SiO2/聚合物核壳型杂化粒子简单易行,一般需要预先合成SiO2纳米粒子,其合成过程通常需要一些非理想的条件,如高温高压、极端pH、昂贵或有毒的有机试剂等,而且预先合成的SiO2粒子无法与聚合物实现100%匹配,即总有纯的聚合物粒子存在。相比之下,原位仿生矿化法制备SiO2杂化粒子不仅在环境条件下可进行,而且能够精确控制其纳米尺度的形态及分级有序结构。目前对材料科学家来讲,要使人工合成SiO2/聚合物杂化粒子实现像自然生物硅那样优异的性能,仍然是很大的挑战。

Facile preparation method of SiO2/PS/TiO2 multilayer core-shell hybrid microspheres

Organic-inorganic hybrid particles have many potential applications, but almost all of this research was focused on the hybrid particles containing one kind of inorganic nanoparticles. This paper presented a facile preparation method for SiO2/PS/TiO2 multilayer core-shell hybrid microspheres. In this approach, positively charged SiO2/PS core-shell hybrid particles were first synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization using cationic initiator and emulsifier. These positively charged SiO2/PS hybrid particles were mixed with tetra-n-butyl titanate for sol-gel reaction to directly form SiO2/PS/TiO2 multilayer core-shell hybrid microspheres. Some influencing parameters such as surfactant concentration, tetra-n-butyl titanate amount, and glacial acetic acid amount were investigated. TEM, TGA, and EDX analyses indicated that titania layers were successfully coated onto the surfaces of hybrid microspheres.     

Biomimetic synthesis of raspberry-like hybrid polymer–silica core–shell nanoparticles by templating colloidal particles with hairy polyamine shell

The nanoparticles composed of polystyrene core and poly[2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDEA) hairy shell were used as colloidal templates for in situ silica mineralization, allowing the well-controlled synthesis of hybrid silica core–shell nanoparticles with raspberry-like morphology and hollow silica nanoparticles by subsequent calcination. Silica deposition was performed by simply stirring a mixture of the polymeric core–shell particles in isopropanol, tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) and water at 25 °C for 2.5 h. No experimental evidence was found for nontemplated silica formation, which indicated that silica deposition occurred exclusively in the PDEA shell and formed PDEA–silica hybrid shell. The resulting hybrid silica core–shell particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry, aqueous electrophoresis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. TEM studies indicated that the hybrid particles have well-defined core–shell structure with raspberry morphology after silica deposition. We found that the surface nanostructure of hybrid nanoparticles and the composition distribution of PDEA–silica hybrid shell could be well controlled by adjusting the silicification conditions. These new hybrid core–shell nanoparticles and hollow silica nanoparticles would have potential applications for high-performance coatings, encapsulation and delivery of active organic molecules.     

Effect of pH on the synthesis and properties of luminescent SiO2/calcium phosphate:Eu3+ core-shell nanoparticles

A novel method for the synthesis of luminescent SiO(2)/calcium phosphate (CaP):Eu(3+) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) was developed via a sol-gel route followed by annealing at a temperature of 800 °C. The object of this study was the investigation of the effect of pH on the formation of a CaP shell around the silica core. The resulting annealed NPs exhibited an amorphous SiO(2) core and a crystalline luminescent shell. The formation of a CaP layer was possible at pH below 4.5 and above 6.5 during the coating step. The crystal structure of the shell was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and α-tricalcium phosphate were detected as crystal phases of the surrounding layer. However, NPs produced under basic conditions exhibited a higher crystallinity of the CaP layer than did samples coated at pH below 4.5. In the pH interval between 4.5 and 6.5, no shell growth but the formation of secondary NPs containing CaO and Ca(OH)(2) was observed. Furthermore, SiO(2)/CP:Eu(3+) core-shell NPs were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The resulting HAp-coated NPs were successfully tested by a cell-culture-based viability assay with respect to a later application as a luminescent marker for biomedical applications.     

pH-Responsive hollow polymeric microspheres and concentric hollow silica microspheres from silica-polymer core-shell microspheres

Nearly monodispersed silica-poly(methacrylic acid) (SiO 2-PMAA) core-shell microspheres were synthesized by distillation-precipitation polymerization from 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate-silica (SiO 2-MPS) particle templates. SiO 2-PMAA-SiO 2 trilayer hybrid microspheres were subsequently prepared by coating of an outer layer of SiO 2 on the SiO 2-PMAA core-shell microspheres in a sol-gel process. pH-Responsive PMAA hollow microspheres with flexible (deformable) shells were obtained after selective removal of the inorganic SiO 2 core from the SiO 2-PMAA core-shell microspheres by HF etching. The pH-responsive properties of the PMAA hollow microspheres were investigated by dynamic laser scattering (DLS). On the other hand, concentric and rigid hollow silica microspheres were prepared by selective removal of the PMAA interlayer from the SiO 2-PMAA-SiO 2 trilayer hybrid microspheres during calcination. The hybrid composite microspheres, pH-sensitive hollow microspheres, and concentric hollow silica microspheres were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis.     

Construction of Chiroptical Switch on Silica Nanoparticle Surface via Chiral Self-assembly of Side-chain Azobenzene-containing Polymer

In this contribution,we utilized surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to prepare organic-inorganic hybrid core/shell silica nanoparticles (NPs),where silica particles acted as cores and polymeric shells (PAzoMA*) were attached to silica particles via covalent bond.Subsequently,chiroptical switch was successfully constructed on silica NPs surface taking advantage of supramolecular chiral self-assembly of the grafted side-chain Azo-containing polymer (PAzoMA*).We found that the supramolecular chirality was highly dependent on the molecular weight of grafted PAzoMA*.Meanwhile,the supramolecular chirality could be regulated using 365 nm UV light irradiation and heating-cooling treatment,and a reversible supramolecular chiroptical switch could be repeated for over five cycles on silica NPs surface.Moreover,when heated above the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PAzoMA*,the organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (SiO2@PAzoMA*NPs) still exhibited intense DRCD signals.Interestingly,the supramolecular chirality could be retained in solid film for more than 3 months.To conclude,we have prepared an organic-inorganic hybrid core/shell chiral silica nanomaterial with dynamic reversible chirality,thermal stability and chiral storage functions,providing potential applications in dynamic asymmetric catalysis,chiral separation and so on.     

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.
