Synthesis of HCN-like poly(methyl methacrylate)/polystyrene/silica colloidal molecules
Résumé
This communication reports about the feasibility of preparing triphasic clusters made of the combination of silica, polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles. Silica-polystyrene dimers were used as seeds in methyl methacrylate emulsion polymerisation. The competition between silica surface nucleation and swelling/phase separation phenomena from the polystyrene nodule is discussed.
