Fabrication of Nanocolorants Using Miniemulsion Solvent Evaporation Technique

Abstract:

The combined miniemulsion and solvent evaporation (MESE) method was employed to fabricate hydrophobic dye/polymer composite colorants in the present work. Using dynamic light scattering tests, the effect of the formulation variables on the size and size distribution of the prepared nanoparticles was examined. Transmission electron microscopy, UVvisible spectrophotometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental analysis results indicate that dye molecules or aggregates were successfully encapsulated in the poly (methyl methacrylate) matrix using the MESE method and the resulting composite colorant could be dispersed in water.
