Synthesis and characterization of poly(fluorinated styrene-acrylate)/silica nanocomposites

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Graphical abstract Poly(fluorinated styrene-acrylate)/silica (PFSA/SiO2) nanocomposite latexes with different content of silica were prepared by seeded emulsion polymerization. Surface morphology and composition of the films were investigated. Abrasion property of the film containing silica was evaluated. The results showed that only small amount (no more than 1.0 wt% based on the PFSA nanocomposite) of silica contained in the composite, abrasion resistance and thermal properties of the PFSA films were improved significantly. The presence of silica nanoparticles led to smaller composite particle size as compared with pure PFSA latex particles containing no silica.
