Abstract
In this study, polystyrene (PS)/Sudan black B (SDB) latex particles were prepared using a miniemulsion polymerization technique in the presence of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). Effects of the weight ratio of MIBK/styrene (St) and the SDB load on the morphology of latex particles and encapsulation efficiency were studied. It was found that the encapsulation efficiency of SDB with PS increased as the weight ratio of MIBK/St rose. The PS/SDB latex particles have a perfect core-shell structure and as high as more than 90% of encapsulation efficiency at 1:1 of MIBK/St. UV irradiation experiments and dynamic light scattering tests indicated that the obtained PS/SDB latexes exhibited excellent photostability and storage stability.
