The invention relates to a method for preparing snowman-like organic / inorganic
hybrid particles by adopting one-step
miniemulsion polymerization method. The method comprises the following steps:
coupling agent modified
inorganic particles are dispersed in emulsifier-containing deionized water for ultrasonic
processing, and a solution I is obtained; deionized water containing a
monomer, a co-emulsifier and an emulsifier is subjected to ultrasonic
processing, and a solution II is obtained; the solution I and the solution II are mixed, stirred at a
low speed and sheared at a high speed, an initiator is added to initiate
polymerization, and the snowman-like organic / inorganic
hybrid particles are obtained.
Monomer droplets are dispersed into stable microspheres under an ultrasonic effect by means of the emulsifier and the co-emulsifier, the
monomer microspheres collide with the
inorganic particles under the action of high-speed shearing, and the size and number of the
monomer microspheres and the collision and binding degrees of the monomer microspheres with the
inorganic particles can be controlled through proper matching of the emulsifier and the co-emulsifier, proper ultrasonic power and ultrasonic time as well as proper high-speed shearing speed and time. The method has the advantages of simple technological process, high yield of snowman-like particles and easiness in scale production.
