Synthesis of polystyrene/silica composite particles by soap-free emulsion polymerization using positively charged colloidal silica.
Core-polystyrene/shell-silica nanocomposite particles are synthesized by simple soap-free emulsion polymerization employing positively charged silica sol. The polymerization is initiated with conventional anionic KPS. It is found that the silica sol should be added after the initiation and nucleation of the soap-free emulsion polymerization in order to obtain colloidally stable composite partic...
متن کاملColloquium: Toward living matter with colloidal particles
A fundamental unsolved problem is to understand the differences between inanimate matter and living matter. Although this question might be framed as philosophical, there are many fundamental and practical reasons to pursue the development of synthetic materials with the properties of living ones. There are three fundamental properties of living materials that we seek to reproduce: The ability ...
متن کاملStabilization of foams with inorganic colloidal particles.
Wet foams are used in many important technologies either as end or intermediate products. However, the thermodynamic instability of wet foams leads to undesired bubble coarsening over time. Foam stability can be drastically improved by using particles instead of surfactants as foam stabilizers, since particles tend to adsorb irreversibly at the air-water interface. Recently, we presented a nove...
متن کاملSynthesis of colloidal silica dumbbells.
We describe the synthesis and characterization of stable suspensions of monodisperse fluorescently labeled silica dumbbell particles. Pure dispersions of silica dumbbells with center-to-center lengths from 174 nm to 2.3 microm were produced with a variety of aspect ratios. Individual particles in concentrated dispersions of these particles could be imaged with confocal microscopy. These particl...
متن کاملDynamics of colloidal particles with capillary interactions.
We investigate the dynamics of colloids at a fluid interface driven by attractive capillary interactions. At submillimeter length scales, the capillary attraction is formally analogous to two-dimensional gravity. In particular it is a nonintegrable interaction and it can be actually relevant for collective phenomena in spite of its weakness at the level of the pair potential. We introduce a mea...
