In situ formation of core–shell nanoparticles in epoxy resin via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization

Abstract

We report for the first time in situ reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization in an epoxy resin mixture for toughening of epoxy. Good dispersion of latex particles in the epoxy resin by the selection of suitable monomers and block copolymerization eliminated the need for tedious re-dispersion of preformed particles.
