Packing efficiency of small silica particles on large latex particles: a facile route to colloidal nanocomposites.

TL;DR: The adsorption of small silica particles onto large sterically stabilized poly(2-vinylpyridine) [P2VP] latex particles in aqueous solution is assessed as a potential route to nanocomposite particles with a "core-shell" morphology and strong evidence is interpreted for a contiguous monolayer ofsilica particles surrounding the latex cores.

Unexpected Facile Redistribution of Adsorbed Silica Nanoparticles Between Latexes
Jennifer A. Balmer,Oleksandr O. Mykhaylyk,J. Patrick A. Fairclough,Anthony J. Ryan,Steven P. Armes,Martin W. Murray,Kenneth A. Murray,Neal S. J. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: Observations on the facile redistribution of the silica nanoparticles such that partial coverage of all the P2VP latex particles is achieved are expected to have important implications for the optimization of nanocomposite formulations in the coatings industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering studies of polymer-silica nanocomposite particles: initial formation and subsequent silica redistribution.

TL;DR: Very short time scales for silica redistribution are consistent with facile silica exchange occurring as a result of rapid interparticle collisions due to Brownian motion; this interpretation is consistent with a zeroth-order Smoluchowski-type calculation.
