Abstract
By means of heterocoagu-lation anionic poly-[styrene] particles were coated with smaller electro-sterically stabilised cationic particles of poly-[butyl methacrylate]. On heating the heterocoagulated units 45 °C above the glass transition temperature of poly-[butyl methacrylate], as predicted theoretically, the latter polymer spread over the surface of the poly-[styrene] particle to give a composite particle with a core-shell structure. It was found that the extent of packing of the small particles on the larger core particle was a critical feature of the coating process.
