THE SURFACE TREATMENT OF NANOPARTICLES TO CONTROL INTERFACIAL PROPERTIES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A surface treated particle is described that comprises a plurality ofinorganic, metallic,semi-metallic, and/or metallic oxide particles and a star-graft copolymercoating with atleast one of looped and linear polymeric structure on a star-graft copolymer,obtained bya heterogeneous polymerization reaction in the particle surface proximity,encapsulatingat least a portion of said particles and a method for making the same. Thesurfacetreatment producing the coating comprises: Si (w, x, y, z), where: w, x, y,and z are inmole percent, tetrafunctional, trifunctional, difunctional, and monofunctionalmonomeric units, respectively; w, x, y, and z are about 0-15, 0-50, 5-99, and0-5.
