Abstract
Cover: The morphology of hybrid polymer/clay particles synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization has a significant impact on film properties. The morphology of the hybrid droplets controls the morphology achieved upon polymerization, which depends on the interfacial tensions of the modified (hydrophobized) clay with the monomer and aqueous phases. The equilibrium monomer/clay nanodroplet morphologies predicted by means of Monte Carlo simulations as well as experimental evidence of the predicted morphologies in acrylic/montmorillonite nanocomposite latexes are presented. Further details can be found in the article by M. Micǒusǒík, A. Bonnefond, Y. Reyes, A. Bogner, L. Chazeau, C. J. G. Plummer, M. Paulis, and J. R. Leiza* on page 432.
