Direct encapsulation of clay platelets inside latex particles

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademic

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.
