Homogeneously distributed magnetite in the polystyrene spherical particles using the miniemulsion polymerization

Facile synthesis of complex multi-component organic and organic–magnetic inorganic nanocomposite particles

“…A further example was described by Ban et al in which Fe 3 O 4 -polystyrene composite nanospheres were prepared but the details of inclusion and resulting super-paramagnetism were not reported. 31 In both cases, emulsions containing a mixture of monomers, oleic acid coated magnetite and initiators were prepared prior to thermal polymerisation, separation and washing to isolate magnetic composite nanospheres. Although such strategies are well known and reasonably facile, the necessity for several synthetic and purification steps leads to lengthy and labour intensive preparations.…”

Fabrication of Fe3O4@poly(methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) microspheres via miniemulsion polymerization using porous microspheres as templates for removal of cationic dyes

“…The method can prepare magnetic polymer microspheres with high magnetic material content and different functionalized surfaces. For example, Xia et al 1 and Junhyeong et al 29 used miniemulsion polymerization to coat magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in polymers such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PSt) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) to prepare magnetic polymer microspheres, respectively. However, it was especially difficult to obtain magnetic polymer microspheres with good encapsulation of magnetic materials because there were few interactions between the monomers and the magnetic materials.…”

Bio‐Based Hybrid Magnetic Latex Particles Containing Encapsulated γ ‐Fe2O3 by Miniemulsion Copolymerization of Soybean Oil‐Acrylated Methyl Ester and Styrene

“…Among the magnetic nanocomposites, those formed by a combination of magnetic and polymer particles deserves special attention due to their great affinity with biological systems and the ability to alter the variation of magnetic behavior under the action of magnetic fields . The specialized literature reports several researches on the development of magnetic nanocomposites using polymeric matrixes.…”
