Abstract
The present disclosure describes poly(styrene/acrylate)-polyester hybrid particles, wherein poly(styrene/acrylate) polymers are polymerized and entangled within a polyester seed particle in an interpenetrating polymer network.
Claims13
A poly(styrene/acrylate)-polyester hybrid particle comprising a polyester seed particle and poly(styrene/acrylate) polymers interspersed therein and thereon, wherein poly(styrene/acrylate) polymer chains are entangled within the polyester seed particle in an interpenetrating network;
- wherein the hybrid particle has a particle size of from about 175 nm to about 215 nm at D50.
A polyester hybrid particle comprising a polyester seed particle and an interspersed polymer interspersed therein and thereon, wherein polymer chains of the interspersed polymer are entangled within the polyester seed particle in an interpenetrating network;
- wherein the interspersed polymer is selected from poly(styrene-alkyl acrylate), poly(styrene-alkyl methacrylate), poly(alkyl methacrylate-alkyl acrylate), poly(alkyl methacrylate-aryl acrylate), poly(aryl methacrylate-alkyl acrylate), poly(styrene-propyl acrylate), poly(styrene-butyl acrylate), poly(styrene-butyl methacrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate), and combinations thereof;
- wherein the hybrid particle has a particle size of from about 175 nm to about 215 nm at D50.
