Advanced Core-Shell Composite Nanoparticles Through Pickering Emulsion Polymerization

Pickering Emulsion Polymerization of Styrene-co-butyl Acrylate Nanoparticles by Using Cloisite Na+ as Surfactant

Cloisite Na+was used as a solid surfactant (stabilizer) in Pickering emulsion polymerization of styrene-co-butyl acrylate in presence of oil soluble initiator, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and water soluble initiator, potassium persulfate (KPS). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum approved the corporation of Cloisite Na+ layers within the polymer matrix. Effect of clay content was a...

Nano-Encapsulation of Bioactive Oils through Emulsion Polymerization as Antimicrobials and its adhesion to packaging films

Bioactive essential oil components, aldehydes, terpenes and phenols can be encapsulated into nanosized emulsified droplets. Nano-encapsulated bioactive oils emulsions were prepared by high amplitude ultrasonic homogenization with food grade ingredients. The effect of delivery system on the antimicrobial activity of different oils components, e.g., carvacrol, lemon grass and cinnamaldehyde, was ...

Emulsion Polymerization: From Fundamental Mechanisms to Process Developments

Emulsion polymers are “products by process” whose main properties are determined during polymerization. In this scenario of margins reduction, increasing competition, and public sensitivity to environmental issues, the challenge is to achieve an efficient production of high-quality materials in a consistent, safe, and environmentally friendly way. This highlight reviews the investigations carri...

Platinum nanoparticles from size adjusted functional colloidal particles generated by a seeded emulsion polymerization process

The benefits of miniemulsion and emulsion polymerization are combined in a seeded emulsion polymerization process with functional seed particles synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. A systematic study on the influence of different reaction parameters on the reaction pathway is conducted, including variations of the amount of monomer fed, the ratio of initiator to monomer and the choice o...
