Glass transition of poly(methyl methacrylate) nanospheres in aqueous dispersion
Literature Information

Surfactant-free nanospheres and latex nanospheres of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with diameter ranging from 20 to 220 nm are prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in microemulsions and subsequent dialysis against deionized water. The glass transitions of these PMMA nanospheres are characterized using nano differential scanning calorimetry (nano-DSC) in aqueous dispersions. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the surfactant-free PMMA nanospheres and nonionic PMMA latex nanospheres with diameters below 150 nm is less than that of the PMMA bulk, and Tg decreases with the decrease of the diameter. In contrast, Tg of the anionic PMMA latex nanospheres is size-independent and is near to that of the PMMA bulk. The influence of the environment surrounding the PMMA nanospheres on glass transitions as well as comparisons to our prior studies with polystyrene (PS) nanospheres in aqueous dispersions are discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
