Effect of Anionic Surfactants in Synthesizing Silicone Dioxide/Styrene Core-Shell Polymer(II)
The inorganic-organic composite particles with core-shell structure were polymerized by using styrene and potassium persulfate (KPS) as a shell monomer and an initiator, respectively. We studied the effect of surfactants on the core-shell structure of silicone dioxide/styrene composite particles polymerized in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), polyoxyethylene alkylether sulfate (EU-S133D), and at none surfactant condition. We found that SiO2 core / polystyrene(PS) shell structure was formed when polymerization of styrene was conducted on the surface of SiO2 particles, and the concentration SDS and EU-Sl33D was 8.34×10-2mole/L. The core-shell structure was confirmed by measuring the thermal decomposition of the polymer composite using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and the morphology of the composite particles was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM).
