In the present work, a new generation opaque polymer pigment with multihollow structure was synthesized by suspension polymerization of “Water-in-Oil-in-Water” (W/O/W) emulsion system. Oil phase was methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomer mixture at 1:1 weight ratio. The dimension and distribution of hollows inside polymer particles are dependent on the size of water droplets which are encapsulated in micelles. For Water-in-Oil (W/O) assembly, a hydrophobic surfactant and hydrophilic co-surfactant (Span 80-Tween 80) combination with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) value between 5-8 was used. The effects of surfactant and co-surfactant composition on the stability of the W/O emulsion and also on the size of water droplets were studied. In addition, the effect of the ultrasonication on the average size of water droplets was investigated. The hollow size distribution which may possibly give the maximum scattering efficiency was predicted by a mathematical model based on the Mie scattering. The optimum size distribution for W/O emulsion was obtained at the monomer/surfactant/water ratio of 75.5/9.4/15.1 after ultrasonication for 30 seconds at 80 W power. The W/O/W emulsion was prepared by dispersing the W/O emulsion in aqueous solution of hydrophilic Triton X-405. The influence of surfactant concentration and mechanical mixing on monomer droplets was investigated by size measurement and optical microscopy. After stabilizing with 1 %w/w polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solution, the W/O/W emulsion was polymerized at 55 °C for 20 h. The surface morphology of synthesized polymer pigments was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the inner hollow structure was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The analysis indicated that multihollow opaque polymer pigments were successfully synthesized. The opacity, the L*a*b* color, and the gloss properties of polymer pigments were examined by spectrophotometer and glossmeter. The opacity values were assessed by contrast ratio measurements, and the synthesized polymer pigments provided up to 97.3 % opacity (50 %v/v solid content). In addition, the pigments exhibited low gloss values, and yielded matt films.

Synthesis and charaterization of single hollow opaque polymer pigments
Karakaya, Ekin; Gündüz, Güngör; Maviş, Bora; Department of Chemical Engineering (2013)
In the present work opaque polymer pigments with single hollow structure were synthesized by osmotic swelling method. The hollow pigment is composed of an outer shell and an inner void space which can be filled with air or water. The osmotic swelling process involves synthesizing of a core polymer containing carboxylic acid group on the backbone, and encapsulating it with another polymer which functions as shell. The swelling of the polymer is provided by neutralization of the core with a base. Methyl metha...
Synthesis and characterization of multi-hollow opaque polymer pigments
Asmaoglu, Serdar; Gündüz, Güngör; MAVİŞ, BORA; Colak, Uner (Wiley, 2016-08-05)
A new generation multihollow opaque polymer pigment was synthesized by suspension polymerization of water-in-oil-in-water emulsion method, where methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomer mixture was used as oil phase. The effects of surfactant and cosurfactant composition in terms of hydrophilic/lipophilic balance on the stability of the water-in-oil emulsion and the size of water droplets were studied. Low droplet sizes and the optimum stability were obtained with Span 80&Tween 80 surf...
Synthesis and Characterization of a New Conducting Polymer Based on 4-(2,5-di-2-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-phthalonitrile
Yavuz, Arzu; Bezgin, Buket; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Wiley, 2009-12-05)
A new conducting polymer was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of 4-(2,5-di-2-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-phthalonitrile (SNS-PN). Electrochemical polymerization of SNS-PN was performed in acetonitrile/0.2M LiClO4 solvent/electrolyte couple. Characterizations of the resulting polymer P(SNS-PN) were carried out by cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques. Spectroelectrochemical studies revealed that P(SNS-PN) has an electronic band gap of 2.45 eV...
Syntheses of benzotriazole bearing donor acceptor type random copolymers for full visible light absorption
Öktem, Gözde; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2011)
The synthesis and preliminary optoelectronic properties of a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type polymers differing by the acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. Polymers CoP1, CoP2 and CoP3 were designed to yield alternating DA segments with randomly distributed different acceptor units along polymer backbone. The combination of neutral state red colored and neutral state green colored materials resulted in different neutral state colors with respect to their additional acceptor unit. 5,8...
Synthesis and characterization of a polybenzoxazine from a difunctional amine and a trifunctional phenol
Kaya, Şafak; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009)
Synthesis of a polymer with benzoxazine units in the main chain backbone by a trifunctional phenol, a difunctional amine, and paraformaldehyde was achieved. Thermal, mechanical and spectroscopic characterization and the viscosity properties of the synthesized polymer were studied. In the first step of this study, a fast and feasible method for the synthesis of the benzoxazine precursors was developed since some methods mentioned in the literature about the synthesis of the benzoxazine derivatives last long ...
