Abstract

An innovative interfacial radical polymerization method for synthesizing novel polymer capsules with a hydrophobic poly(tert-butyl acrylate) shell and a hydro-philic poly(allylamine) interior was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the polymer sample provided conclusive evidence for the formation of nanosized polymer capsules. Polymer capsules with a hydrophobic acrylic shell and a poly(allylamine) interior were effectively produced. The tert-butyl groups of the polymer capsules were also readily removed.
