无机-聚合物纳米复合材料是将聚合物与一种或多种无机纳米粒子复合而成的一种材料,它同时具有无机纳米粒子和聚合物的优良特性,在许多重要技术领域具有广泛的应用前景.近20年来,无机-聚合物纳米复合材料的制备及应用备受关注。包括杂化微凝胶在内的纳米复合微球是无机.聚合物纳米复合材料中的重要一员,可以用作构建有序结构的结构单元.目前,杂化微凝胶已经成功用于涂料、光子晶体、催化和医学诊断等诸多领域。
Silver-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (Ag-P4VP) hybrid microgels were synthesized by 7-irradiation and surfaetant-free emulsion polymerization in a single step. The effects of dose rate and the concentrations of isopropanol,silver ion, N, N′-methyienebisaerylamide (Bis) and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) on the hybrid mierogels were studied in detail via transmission electron microscopy ( TEM ), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) or dynamie light scattering (DIS). The results indicated that the size of Ag nanopartieles in the hybrid mierogels increased with the increase of Ag^+ or Bis concentration and with the decrease of dose rate or isopropanol concentration. When the dose rate was decreased, the phase state of Ag nanopartieles was gradually transformed from amorphous state to cubic crystalline state. Although the variety of the P4VP mierogels' size was more complex, it could also be easily adjusted by the above-mentioned conditions.
