Effect of Synthesis Parameter on Properties of Heat-Sensitive Nanocapsules

Article Preview

Abstract:

The crosslinked poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) heat-sensitive nanocapsules were prepared by emulsion polymerization, in which Triton X-100 was used as an emulsifier and unsaturated hyperbranched poly(amide-ester) (UHBP) as a crosslinker. The effects of three determinative process parameters on the particle size distributions, glass transition temperatures(Tgs) and heat sensitive color-developing properties of nanocapsules were investigated in detail. As a result, the mean size of nanocapsules became smaller and their particle size distribution became narrower with the increase in emulsifying rate. The Tg of nanocapsules was 123.8°C with the emulsifier content being 0.6%. The color-developing absorbency was the highest with the crosslinker content being 6.0 %.
