Key Points

The aim is to synthesize theta-shaped polystyrene-poly(glycidyl methacrylate) composite particles through seeded emulsion polymerization.
Seeded emulsion polymerization was employed using polystyrene seed particles.
Seed particles were pre swollen with dibutyl phthalate and glycidyl methacrylate.
The synthesis conditions and their effects on particle formation were analyzed.
Successfully synthesized theta-shaped (two-lobed) composite particles.
The design affects the structural characteristics of the composite particles.

Implication

Research demonstrates the creation of theta-shaped particles in polymer composites, indicating new synthesis methods.

Abstract

Theta-shaped (two-lobed) polystyrene-poly(glycidyl methacrylate)(PS-PGMA) composite particles have been synthesized by seeded emulsion polymerization using PS seed particles pre swollen with dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The effects of...
