Abstract
Submicron magnetic composite microspheres have been prepared by a new surfactant free controlled radical polymerization. This new approach is based on the use of diphenylethene (DPE) as radical controlling agent and no emulsifier is required. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), etc. were conducted to characterize the magnetite particles and magnetic composite microspheres. The average size of the magnetic composite microspheres prepared by this new approach is 265 nm and the magnetite content of the composite microspheres is around 20%. Furthermore, the magnetic composite microspheres which surfaces have epoxy groups were also prepared.
