Suspension polymerization stabilized by triblock copolymer with CdS nanoparticles
In this paper, a new method to prepare polymer colloid particles stabilized by triblock copolymer with US nanoparticles was described. Poly(ethylene glycol-block-styrene-block-2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PEG-b-PS-b-PDMAEMA) triblock copolymer was synthesized by sequential ATRP method. Micelles with US nanoparticles in the corona were prepared by "in situ" reaction of hydrogen sulfide with cadmium ion clusters in the corona of the micelles. The size of the CdS nanoparticles is affected by molar ratio of DMAEMA to cadmium ions and polymer concentration in the solution. When introduced into o/w emulsion the micelles reassemble on the surface of styrene oil droplets. PS colloid particles stabilized by triblock copolymer with CdS nanoparticles were achieved by suspension polymerization. TEM image indicates that CdS nanoparticles locate at the surface of the PS colloid particles. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
