  • Patent number: 12122920
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing a polymer/pigment hybrid latex through sulfur-free and soap-free in-situ reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) emulsion copolymerization includes the following: dispersing a pigment with a reactive emulsifier to prepare a pigment dispersion; synthesizing an amphiphilic sulfur-free ?-vinyl-terminated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) macromolecular RAFT agent in-situ on a surface of pigment particles through catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP); and adding an acrylate monomer dropwise, allowing in-situ sulfur-free RAFT polymerization on a surface of pigment particles through the RAFT agent, and adjusting a structure and a composition of an encapsulated polymer layer to obtain a series of uniformly encapsulated and stably dispersed polymer/organic pigment hybrid latexes.
