Electrospinning of dispersions with higher viscosity and limited flow may be carried out, based on the solvent assisted coaxial technique, where the flow of the core dispersion is supported by a free flowing sheath solvent. In the present work, the sheath solvents used are chloroform, toluene and dimethyl formamide and we discuss the fiber formation of Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) (dispersion-25 wt%). PMMA dispersed in chloroform is taken as the core solution and the sheath is pure solvent. The In-Situ effect of different sheath solvents in fiber formation at two different tip to collector distances are studied. The fibers formed are subjected to SEM analysis and the characteristics are analysed. The fiber formation of high viscos polymer dispersions makes the same materials subjectable to electrospinning and further applications.

The objective of this work is to develop and characterize polymeric nanoparticles with core–shell morphology through miniemulsion polymerization combined with seeded emulsion polymerization, aiming at the application in the treatment of vascular tumors via intravascular embolization. The synthesis of the core–shell nanocomposites was divided into two main steps: (i) Formation of the core structure, consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate)/magnetic oxide coated with oleic acid (OM-OA) via miniemulsion and (ii) shell structure produced through seeded emulsion polymerization of vinyl pivalate. Nanocomposites containing about 8 wt.% of OM-OA showed high colloidal stability, mean diameter of 216.8 nm, spherical morphology, saturation magnetization (Ms) of 4.65 emu·g−1 (57.41 emu·g−1 of Fe3O4), preserved superparamagnetic behavior and glass transition temperature (Tg) of 111.8 °C. TEM micrographs confirmed the obtaining of uniformly dispersed magnetic nanoparticles in the PMMA and that the core–shell structure was obtained by seeded emulsion with Ms of 1.35 emu·g−1 (56.25 emu·g−1 of Fe3O4) and Tg of 114.7 °C. In vitro cytotoxicity assays against murine tumor of melanoma (B16F10) and human Keratinocytes (HaCaT) cell lines were carried out showing that the core–shell magnetic polymeric materials (a core, consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate)/Fe3O4 and, a shell, formed by poly(vinyl pivalate)) presented high cell viabilities for both murine melanoma tumor cell lines, B16F10, and human keratinocyte cells, HaCaT.

AbstractHybrid materials, which consist of organic-inorganic materials, are of profound interest owing to their unexpected synergistically derived properties. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles/polymer composites have been produced using a one-system polymer synthesis. The linear polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA,MW=15,000 g/mol) is applied for the stabilization of Al2O3nanoparticles. Fourier transfer infrared analysis data and scanning electron microscopy image reveal that the core shell structure of the Al2O3/PMMA nanocomposite has been synthesized. The ratio of concentration of the capping polymer material to the concentration of the Al2O3precursor could control the size of Al2O3nanoparticles. With specific concentration of the reductant, the core-shell nanostructure could be fluctuated in order.
