Surfactant-Free Synthesis of Polystyrene Nanoparticles Using Oligoglycidol Macromonomers

Abstract: We investigate the synthesis of functional polystyrene/oligoglycidol particles by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization. Oligoglycidol macromonomers with linear and branched oligoglycidol structure and variable oligoglycidol chain lengths were synthesized. These macromonomers were used as surfmers (surfactants and comonomers) in emulsion polymerization of styrene. Monodisperse colloidally stable polystyrene particles were obtained, decorated with oligoglycidol chains with diameters between 100 and 600 nm. Th… Show more

“…Darauf folgten die Modifizierung der Hydroxyendgruppe mittels Chloressigsäure und schlussendlich das Entschützen der Glycidolsegmente. Die Synthese von Oligoglycidol‐Makromonomeren mit variabler Kettenlänge und Struktur wurde in einer unserer früheren Arbeiten im Detail beschrieben . Während der Synthese isomerisiert Eugenol wegen der basischen Bedingungen während der lebenden anionischen Polymerisation zu Isoeugenol …”

“…This facilitates tailoring of the particle surface for the application of choice, and avoids the presence of excess surfactant in the dispersion medium. A range of different surfmers has been reported for the preparation of polymer [8,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], inorganic [24,25] and hybrid nanoparticles [26]. One functional moiety that showed great potential in surfmers for the emulsion polymerisation of styrene is oligoglycidol [16].…”

“…This study was followed by the development of additional synthetic approaches that produce monodispersed colloidal particles including miniemulsion polymerization, emulsion polymerization, seeded emulsion polymerization, emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization, precipitation polymerization, and dispersion polymerization. 2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Winnik and coworkers 22 discovered, in the dispersion polymerization of St in ethanol, that if a crosslinking agent was added at the end of the nucleation stage, the crosslinked particles with a very narrow size distribution could be obtained successfully. The two-stage swelling method has been widely used to synthesize uniform polymer beads efficiently.…”
