Proofs for the success of core/shell synthesis were obtained by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Pressed pellet conductivity measurements on the dried composites indicated a low percolation threshold of 13.8%. The conductivity for the composites was higher than that of a heterogeneous admixture of dried PS latex and PPy bulk powder. The highest conductivity of the core/shell composite was 0.14 S/cm.展开更多

The core-shell gel particles were obtained by the inward sulfonation of monodisperse polystyrene particles. The shell thickness and core size were synchronously controlled in the particle radius range. After the polymerization initiated by ammonium per sulfate（APS）, PPy was formed in the sulfonated polystyrene shell. PPy hollow capsules were derived after the polystyrene cores were dissolved: their cavity size and shell thickness were synchronously controlled by using core-shell gel particles with different sulfonation extent. It is interesting that if Fe3+ was adsorbed into the sulfonated polystyrene shell as the initiator, the PPy-shell collapsed into a pile of small particles when the polystyrene core was dissolved.展开更多
