Abstract
Amphiphilic organo-polyoxometalates (POMs) used in the radical emulsion polymerization of styrene allowed the preparation in aqueous medium of stable 50-100 nm polystyrene-POM composite latexes. Thanks to the presence of a trithiocarbonate group in the POM amphiphile, POMs could be covalently linked to the polymer particle surface. The chemical and catalytic integrity of the POMs was confirmed, and the POM-mediated surface photoactivity of the latexes was demonstrated by the spatially controlled nucleation of silver nanoparticles at the periphery of the composites.
