Unfortunately, conventional methods for the synthesis of hollow particles involve complicated processes. In this study, we developed a template-free method for the production of hollow polymer particles. Polystyrene core particles containing 2,2′-azobis(N-butyl-2-methylpropionamide) (VAm-110) were initially formed via soap-free emulsion polymerization, after which shells were constructed using divinylbenzene. Nitrogen gas was then generated inside the particles by the decomposition of VAm-110 at 100 °C, which led to the formation of hollows. Consequently, this method involves three easy steps and is environmentally friendly, as it does not require the use of a surfactant or organic solvent. Furthermore, the morphology and size of the particle hollows can be controlled by varying the concentration of VAm-110., ファイル公開:2022-08-12}, title = {Making hollows using nitrogen gas emitted by the decomposition of VAm-110 in polystyrene particles}, volume = {202}, year = {2020} }
