- Abstract
Metal oxide (ZrO) nanoparticle-dispersed polymer films (hybrid latex films) were prepared from polymer particles incorporating ZrO nanoparticles (hybrid latex dispersion). The hybrid latex dispersions were synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. The resulting films were transparent, and they derived their properties from the ZrO nanoparticles. The refractive indexes of the films increased with the ZrO content. Surface-modified ZrO nanoparticles were dispersed successfully in a polymer matrix containing phosphoric acid groups, which interacts with the surfaces of the ZrO nanoparticles and increases the compatibility between the polymer and ZrO.
