Abstract
Various poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) coated silica nanoparticles were synthesized via chain transfer polymerization with the goal to assess the coating behavior and characterization of polymer coated silica nanoparticles with monomers of different reactivities. The particles were characterized by TGA, EDXS, TEM and correlated to the free PMMA/PAN formed in the crude reaction mixture characterized with SEC. It was found that the mass loss observed in TGA and coating thickness obtained from TEM micrographs correlate strongly with the average polymer chain-length in the crude reaction mixture.
期刊介绍：
Polymer Chemistry welcomes submissions in all areas of polymer science that have a strong focus on macromolecular chemistry. Manuscripts may cover a broad range of fields, yet no direct application focus is required.
