Method for manufacturing metal/polymer hybrid nanoparticles with narrow size distribution by miniemulsion polymerisation

摘要

Method for manufacturing nanoparticles comprising a metallic core coated with a layer of polymer material comprising the following steps:a) preparing a water-in-oil emulsion comprising droplets of an aqueous phase, dispersed in an organic phase,b) adding nanoparticles comprising a metallic core coated with a shell of carbonaceous material, whereby nanoparticles trapped in the droplets are obtained,c) adding precursor monomers of the polymer material, andd) adding a polymerisation initiator,adding the precursor monomers and the polymerisation initiator resulting in polymerisation of the monomers, whereby nanoparticles coated with a layer of polymer material dispersed in the organic phase are obtained.
