Preparation of Inert Polystyrene Latex Particles as MicroRNA Delivery Vectors by Surfactant-Free RAFT Emulsion Polymerization.
We present the preparation of 11 nm polyacrylamide-stabilized polystyrene latex particles for conjugation to a microRNA model by surfactant-free RAFT emulsion polymerization. Our synthetic strategy involved the preparation of amphiphilic polyacrylamide-block-polystyrene copolymers, which were able to self-assemble into polymeric micelles and "grow" into polystyrene latex particles. The surface ...
متن کاملPreparation of Emulsifier-Free Polystyrene by Conventional Emulsion Polymerization with a Hydrolysable Emulsifier
An alkali-hydrolysable surfactant, (1-tetradecyloxycarbonylmethyl)trimethylammonium chloride, was used as an emulsifier for emulsion polymerization of styrene in water. The polymerization yielded a high molecular-weight polymer almost quantitatively. Addition of a small amount of NaOH to the resulting latex solution precipitated the polymer immediately. Analysis of the centrifuged solid indicat...
متن کاملModel Predictive Control of Free Surfactant Concentration in Emulsion Polymerization
Abstract: In emulsion polymerization processes, the surfactant concentration plays an important role in the latex stability, reaction kinetics and particle size distribution (PSD). Controlling the free surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase ensures the stability of the latex and the control of the micellar nucleation rate. The PSD is determined by particle nucleation, growth and stabilit...
متن کاملSynthesis 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 کاملPickering 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...
