Preparation of poly(methyl methacrylate)/polystyrene/poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) tri-layer core–shell nanoparticles and their postpolymerization modification via catalytic latex hydrogenation

Abstract

Poly(methyl methacrylate)/polystyrene/poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) tri-layer core–shell elastomeric nanoparticles were synthesized using a facile and robust one-pot semibatch emulsion polymerization technique which allows for scale-up.
