Abstract
Encapsulation of exfoliated clay platelets by polymer has been shown to be very difficult. We present, for the first time, direct encapsulation of covalently modified clay platelets via surfactant-free, starved-feed emulsion polymn. With cryo-TEM and SEM we showed that small Laponite platelets were encapsulated inside spherical latex particles, whereas larger montmorillonite platelets were encapsulated inside dumbbell-like or snowman-like non-spherical latex particles.
