Abstract

A novel synthetic route to prepare polystyrene/SiO2 composite microparticles in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is presented. Silica particles with the size of 130 nm which were surface-modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate were used as seeds in the dispersion polymerization of styrene in the presence of a polymeric stabilizer, poly(1,1-dihydroheptafluorobutyl methacrylate-co-diisopropylaminoethyl methacrylate) to produce dry composite particles. The transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the composite microspheres contained several silica particles.
