Hollow hybrid polymer-graphene oxide nanoparticles via Pickering miniemulsion polymerization
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 08:48 authored by Stuart ThickettStuart Thickett, Wood, N, Ng, YH, Zetterlund, PBThe preparation of hybrid hollow capsules consisting of a cross-linked polymer shell and a coating of graphene oxide (GO) is demonstrated. The capsules are prepared by Pickering miniemulsion polymerization, exploiting the surface activity of GO for its use as a colloidal surfactant. This approach represents a simple and convenient route towards hollow carbon nanostructures for a variety of applications. The incorporation of surface-modified TiO2 nanoparticles into the interior of these capsules was also demonstrated.
