w       ater born poly(styrene-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposite latexes were synthesized by a novel initiating system of activators generated by   electron transfer (aget) in a system of atom transfer radical polymerization   (atrp). initially, the clay was swelled in a mixture of styrene, butyl acrylate,   and hexadecane. the mixture was then sonicated to obtain a stable miniemulsion. to   s...

Numerous types of hydrophilic polymer nanoparticles (NPs) have recently become research hotspots because their ability to dissolve in water and can be adapted with respect physical, chemical, biological properties meet the requirements different applications. Synthetic polymeric NPs had successfully gained much attention unique physicochemical properties, such as low toxicity, biodegradability,...

Three acrylate monomers featuring different side-groups are synthesized in yields up to 94% a one-pot procedure using the versatile Passerini-three-component reaction. The for their miniemulsion polymerization into polymeric particles with tunable sizes is established. Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate introduced as comonomer induce crosslinking and enable production of microgels. Besides shelf li...
