Abstract:
For the first time, we report an interesting transition from conventional core-shell polymer/SiO2 particles to self-stable snowman-like particles, which can be achieved by adding a low-boiling point oil-soluble monomer because the volatile monomer not only plays a lubrication role, but also acts as a gas "motor" to drive the silica precursor polycondensate migration.
