Abstract

Barium carbonate (BaCO3) with multiple morphologies were synthesized using BaCl2 and Na2CO3 in the presence of a copolymer of poly(styrene) (PS) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), an amphiphilic copolymer, by a simple solvent reaction route. X-ray powder diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the obtained products. The mole ratio of the PS/PAA was found to play an important role in determining the morphologies of the final products.
