Description

Hollow polystyrene nano-particles and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of soap-free emulsion polymerization, and relates to a hollow polystyrene nanoparticle and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Emulsion polymerization is a reaction in which monomers are dispersed in water to form an emulsion by means of an emulsifier and mechanical stirring, and then an initiator is added to initiate polymerization of the monomers, and is an important preparation method for synthesizing high molecular materials. The advantages are that: (1) the polymerization speed is high, and the molecular weight of the product is high; (2) water is used as a dispersant medium, which is beneficial to heat transfer and temperature control; (3) after the reaction reaches high conversion rate, the viscosity of the emulsion system is still very low, the dispersion system is stable, and the continuous operation is easy to control and realize. However, conventional emulsion polymerization also has problems, such as: the addition of emulsifiers increases the post-processing difficulty and reduces the water resistance, solvent resistance and mechanical properties of the polymer product. Matsumoto and Ochi (literature) synthesized polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate and polyvinyl acetate emulsions with uniform-sized latex particles in 1960 in the complete absence of emulsifiers, after which the preparation of polymer microspheres by soap-free emulsion polymerization was rapidly developed. The emulsion synthesized by the soap-free emulsion polymerization method has single dispersed particle size and clean surface, and does not need the post-treatment of removing the emulsifier. The product is widely applied to the fields of clinical medicine, cytology, material science, chromatographic separation and the like.
In recent years, the uniform polymer microspheres have attracted much attention due to the characteristics of controllable form, adjustable molecular weight, easy introduction of different functional groups on the surface, and the like. In the polymer microspheres, the preparation and application of polystyrene particles are the most extensive, and templates or construction units are provided for the construction of ordered low-dimensional nanostructures.
Early researches on polystyrene particles mostly lie in that the polystyrene particles are prepared into spheres with single dispersity, spherical appearance and smooth and regular surfaces so as to be used as standard spheres or templates; in recent years, it has become popular to produce particles with irregular morphology, particularly Janus particles. Gennes first borrowed Janus in the nobel prize thesaurus 1991 and indicated particles having 2 different properties simultaneously. The traditional method for preparing Janus particles is a Pickering emulsion template method, the experimental operation of the method is complex, and the prepared particles are not pure enough. The anisotropy of Janus particles leads to wide application, and related preparation methods are increasingly researched in recent years. At present, the preparation of the hollow polystyrene particles with the micron-scale depressions is realized, and the preparation of the hollow polystyrene particles with the nanometer-scale depressions is still a great challenge.
