Abstract

This work reports the preparation and characterization of poly(styrene-acrylic acid) (St/AA) submicrocapsules by using miniemulsion copolymerization method. Phytoncide oil was adopted as model core material. AA was introduced to enhance the surface potential (zeta potential) and resulting dispersity of AA/St submicrocapsules. The effects of copolymerization conditions were investigated in terms of the mean particle size and zeta potential. In this work, the mean particle size and zeta potential of AA/St submicrocapsules can be controlled to ca. 300 nm and -60 mV, respectively.
