Fabrication of pH‐sensitive poly(2‐(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)/palygorskite composite microspheres via Pickering emulsion polymerization and their release behavior
JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE(2015)
Abstract
The poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)/palygorskite (PDEAEMA/PAL) composite microspheres were prepared via Pickering emulsion polymerization using palygorskite (PAL) as an emulsifier. The morphology, chemical structure, and content of PDEAEMA/PAL composite microspheres were investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The pH-responsive behavior of composite microspheres was studied by measuring their size at different pH values. Furthermore, their release behavior was investigated using rhodamine B (RhB) as a model molecule. It was proven that the release properties of RhB from PDEAEMA/PAL composite microspheres could be controlled by adjusting the pH values. The study of release kinetics found that Higuchi model was fit for RhB release from PDEAEMA/PAL composite microspheres at pH 5.0, 7.4, and 10.0. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
