Preparation Of Polystyrene Nanoparticles Using Both GAMMA Radiation And Chemical Induced Emulsion Polymerization

  • 1. Chemistry and Material Science Research Program, Office of Atoms for Peace, Ministry of Science and Technology, Bangkok (Thailand)

Description

Polystyrene nanoparticles were synthesized by radiation-induced polymerization and chemical emulsion polymerization. Compared with the chemical emulsion polymerization, the radiation process easily prepared the polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles at room temperature and without the pollutant of chemical initiator. The effects of various polymerization parameters in both systems such as total dose for radiation polymerization, monomer concentration, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) stabilizer content on the particle size and size distribution were systematically investigated. The diameter of a polymer particle and its distribution were measured on a Marvern Zetasizer. Monomer conversion was studied gravimetric ally and the structure of PS was analyzed by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrophotometer
