Abstract

Polystyrene (PSt)/poly (4-butyltriphenylamine; PBTPA) composite particles was prepared by a chemical oxidative seeded dispersion polymerization of (4-butyltriphenylamine) with PSt seed particles that were prepared by nonaqueous dispersion polymerization of styrene. Monodisperse composite particles were obtained when the ratio of monomer to seed, the rate of monomer feed, and poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone; PVP) concentration was appropriately selected. The introduction of PBTPA was confirmed by the presence of the characteristic absorption band attributed to PBTPA from a Fourier transform infrared spectra. The solvent extraction with ethyl acetate revealed that composite particles consisted of PSt core and PBTPA shell. Then two-dimensional arrays of composite particles were also fabricated.
