Abstract

Colored latexes with polyurea shell were prepared by applying interfacial polycondensation reaction to the miniemulsion polymerization process. These colored latexes were composed of polystyrene core and polyurea shell, and their particle size was adjusted to <100 nm. Diisocyanate was used as a hydrophobic monomer, and the equivalent mole of diamine was used as a hydrophilic monomer for interfacial polymerization. It was important to control the rate of interfacial polycondensation reaction in order to prepare small particles. Dye preservation property of colored latex loaded with oil-soluble dye was investigated. Polyurea shell formed at the surface of latex particles could restrain the migration of dyes from the latex particles and improve the dye preservation property. The ability to prevent dye migration depended on the composition of the polyurea shell.
