Pickering Emulsion Polymerization of Styrene-co-butyl Acrylate Nanoparticles by Using Cloisite Na+ as Surfactant
Authors
Abstract:
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 assessed on the particle size and polymerization rate for both kinds of initiators. Reduction of particle size (nearly 100 nm) and enhancement of polymerization rate (30% and 10% for formulation with KPS and AIBN respectively) was observed by adding clay material to the blank recipe. Morphology of the particles was investigated by SEM and TEM. Formation of armored latex particles (covered particles with clay layers) with approximately 200 nm in diameter was proved via these micrographs. Furthermore, exfoliated structure of nanocomposites was revealed by XRD for sample containing water soluble initiator (ionic initiator) and oil soluble initiator. Impress of Cloisite Na+ structure on Tg of synthesized copolymer (soap free systems) was investigated by DSC as large changes was observed (approximately 10-15 °C). Effect of Tg on film formation of latexes was also evaluated.

High Solid Contents Copoly (Styrene/Butyl Acrylate)-Cloisite 30B Nanocomposites
Higher solid contents (20 % and 40 %) nanocomposites of poly (styrene-co-butyl acrylate) including higher content of Cloisite 30B (7 wt% and 10 wt %) were prepared via miniemulsion polymerization. Stability of the final latexes proved outstanding combination of polymerization procedure and surfactants. Morphological studies revealed by TEM, SAX and XRD showed three structures of core-shell, arm...

As a peculiar and powerful energy source, microwave has been widely applied to optimize and accelerate the chemical reaction. As an alternative to conventional heating techniques, microwave irradiation provides an effective, selective and fast synthetic method by heating the molecules directly through the interaction between the microwave energy and molecular dipole moments of the monomers. Thi...

When linear polytrithiocarbonates as Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) agents are employed in a radical polymerization, the resulting macromolecules consist of several homogeneous polymer blocks, interconnected by the functional groups of the respective RAFT agent. Via a second polymerization with another monomer, multiblock copolymers—polymers with alternating segments of...
