Abstract
Stable hybrid nanolatexes based on styrene, butylacrylate or methylmetacrylate with alkoxysilane in the absence/presence
of an azoic dye, with/without layered silicate, using microemulsion copolymerization procedure, were obtained. Type of
monomer, dye concentration and the presence of layered silicate influences the average diameter of the particles and the
Zeta potential appeared on the particle - disperse medium interface, inclusive the maximum wavelength, as it was shown by
DLS and UV-VIS analyses. In order to evidence the inorganic partners presence (silica, layered silicates) in the polymer
matrix, FTIR and X-Ray fluorescence, were performed.
