The key technique of the present emulsion polymerization, which made the formation of the nanocomposites successful, is the usage of nonionic surfactant above its cloud point. The morphology of the composite was investigated by DLS, AFM, and TEM, which clearly showed formation of the core-shell-type particles. A transparent film was prepared by casting the emulsion, which showed high resistibility against organic solvents. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 收起
