Summary
The cross-linkings of the surface polymer layer on mono disperse, poly(maleic anhydridestyrene)-modified silica particles by the reaction with diisocyanate were studied. The extent of cross-linking was estimated by the weight decrease by immersing the particles in the buffer solution of pH 2.0, 4.0 and 9.0 at a room temperature for 24 h. The reaction of the polymer-modified silica with 1,6-diisocyanatohexane afforded relatively stable composite particles which lost less than 5 wt% of the polymer in aqueous solution in the pH range 2.0–9.0. The diisocyanate was a preferable cross-linker to 2,4-diisocyanatotoluene in terms of stability in acidic or basic aqueous solution. The flexibility of the cross-linker molecule possibly plays an important role in the cross-linking reaction. The carboxyl and amino groups were formed by treating the cross-linked composite particles with diluted HCl solution; 5–6 and 0.5–1.1 µmol g−1, respectively. The cross-linked composite particles exhibited the characteristic property of ζ-potential, −44 to −47 mV and −102 to −107 mV in a neutral aqueous solution and ethanol, respectively.
