Abstract
We reported the effects of crosslinked nanoshells covering self-oscillating microgels on their oscillatory behaviors. We carried out seeded precipitation polymerization of N-substituted acrylamide derivatives using preformed, self-oscillating microgels as cores. The core/shell microgels obtained were characterized by dynamic light scattering. Oscillating behaviors were characterized by changes in optical transmittance. In addition, the characteristics (that is, induction period, oscillating period and waveform) of the oscillation of the core/shell microgels were compared with that of the parent core microgel to clarify the effect of the addition of a nanoshell on the autonomous oscillating behaviors of microgels. Effects of crosslinked nanoshells covering self-oscillating microgels on their oscillating behaviors were reported. We carried out seeded precipitation polymerization of N-substituted acrylamide derivatives using preformed, self-oscillating microgels as cores. The obtained core/shell microgels were characterized by dynamic light scattering. Thereafter, their oscillating behaviors were characterized by changes in optical transmittance. In this study, oscillating behaviors of core/shell microgels were compared with that of the parent core microgel to clarify the effect of nanoshell addition on the oscillating behaviors of microgels.
