The synthesis of monodispersed M-CeO₂/SiO₂ nanoparticles and formation of UV absorption coatings with them.

ABSTRACT: CeO₂/polymer nanoparticles have drawn considerable attention for their excellent UV absorption properties. However, many challenges still exist in the successful incorporation of ceria into the polymer matrix for the easy agglomeration and photocatalytic activity of CeO₂ nanoparticles. Herein, we address these issues by constructing three-layer structured nanoparticles (M-CeO₂@SiO₂) and incorporating them into a polymer matrix through a mini-emulsion polymerization process. During this process, small-sized nano-ceria became uniformly anchored on the surfaces of monodisperse silica particles first, and then the particles were coated with an MPS/SiO₂ shield. The morphology and dispersion of the nanoparticles were investigated using scann
