Popis: | A process for preparing monodisperse, micron-size composite particles consisting of a polymer core and a nanoparticle pigment shell is described. A heteroaggregation process employing uniform, stable micron-size polymer particles prepared by dispersion polymerization and unstable carbon black pigment particles proved successful for a variety of polymers including poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBuA), and several functional copolymers. Sonication is applied to the mixture enabling the pigment to be broken into its primary particle size, allowing it to form a relatively uniform layer on the surface of the polymer particles by heteroaggregation when the sonication is removed. Attempts to encapsulate these pigment-coated particles by seeded polymerization resulted in only partial engulfment of the pigment particles in the surface. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
