Abstract

AbstractNanoscale oxide/polymer composites consisting of a silica core coated with either methylmethacrylate (MMA) or ethyl‐2‐cyanoacrylate (ECA) are produced in‐situ by chemical vapor synthesis (CVS). In this process, a hot‐wall reactor is used for the preparation of the oxide core, followed by a plasma reactor to form the polymer coating. Deposition of the coating material was confirmed using nitrogen adsorption, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal analysis (TGA). The influence of the monomer on the dispersability in polar and non‐polar media was investigated by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS).
