Research Abstract |
Monodisperse polymer composite particles homogeneously incorporating different inorganic nanoparticles were successfully prepared with soap-free emulsion polymerization that has been used for pure polymer particles. To prepare the composite particles, inorganic nanoparticles were continuously supplied to the polymerization system in the presence of growing polymer particles whose surface charge density was electrostatically controlled. This result showed that the soap-free emulsion polymerization could be applied to the preparation of polymer composite particles with low polydispersity.
