Resumo

Abstract Core–shell polymer particles were produced by combined semibatch emulsion/suspension polymerizations, using different monomers. It is shown that the morphology of the shell depends on the glass transition temperature ( T g ) of the emulsified particles and that specific areas can vary considerably (7.9 to 37 m 2 · g −1 ), depending on reaction conditions and used monomers. Particularly, a thin film is formed around the core when the T g of the polymer that constitutes the shell is lower than the reaction temperature, while a porous shell is formed when the T g of the polymer material is higher than the reaction temperature. Based on the observed data, a physical model was proposed to explain the formation of core–shell particles by combination of typical suspension and emulsion polymerization recipes. magnified image
