摘要
The nano-silica/polystyrene composite particles were prepared and characterized according to the following steps. First, the nano-silica particles were pretreated with surfactants under ultrasonic field. Second, the dispersion polymerization of styrene in a water/ethanol (1/6, weight ratio) medium, with poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as stabilizer and 2,2’-azobisizobu- tyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in the presence of nano-silica particles was initiated with N2 purging through ultrasonic irradiation by taking its advantages of multieffect, i.e. dispersion, crushing, activation, and initiation. Finally, the polymerization kinetics characteristics were studied, and the encapsulation of composite particles was investigated with optical microscope, SEM, TEM, FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
