Summary: | Organic–inorganic nanocomposites with core‐shell structure were prepared in two steps. In the first step, the latex particles in the semibatch emulsion polymerization of butyl methacrylate (BMA), in the presence of methacrylic acid (MAA), were prepared. Small amounts of acrylic acid incorporated into the latex to have better interaction between the surface of particles and inorganic phase. MAA also increased the latex stability and decreased the amount of coagulum. In the second step, the core‐shell structures were prepared by coating the latex particles with three types of inorganic powders. Pectin coated precipitated calcium carbonate, alumina, and silica. The examinations show that pectin‐coated calcium carbonate has the best response than other types of calcium carbonate. Alumina was the second type of inorganic powder that was used for coating the core particles. Silicagel and fumed silica (Aerosil) were used for coating by silica. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed the particle morphology and the core‐shell structure, respectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2006 |
