Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MCNTs)/silica (SiO2) composite particles were prepared by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly method using polyelectrolytes and functionalized MCNTs (fMCNTs). The fMCNTs prepared by chemical oxidation method were incorporated on the outermost layer of polyelectrolyte-coated SiO2 particles. The amount of fMCNTs was varied by LbL self assembly. In the process the number of fMCNT layers on SiO2 particles could be controlled. The fMCNT-coated SiO2 particles were characterized by zeta-potential analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and optical microscopy (OM). In addition, the electrorheological (ER) properties of multilayers containing fMCNTs on silica particles were investigated under controlled electric fields. The ER properties of the composite particles were influenced by the amount of fMCNTs in multilayers.

Encapsulated carbon black pigment was prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The RX8002 carbon black particles were well coated by a SiO2 layer, which makes it has good connection with ZrSiO4 layer. Meanwhile, dense ZrSiO4 layer was coated on the C@SiO2 particles surface to prevent the corrosive effects of glaze. The structure and morphology of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The chromatic value of the pigments was measured by the CIE color system. The results show that the carbon black particles can be well coated by SiO2 and ZrSiO4 layer. When the TEOS/H2O ratio is 0.002 and the ZrSiO4/C ratio is 0.71, the chromatic value of the encapsulated carbon black pigment is 42.55, and the pigment has a good stability in glaze.

The hydrogen-bonding multilayered polyelectrolyte capsules with sizes around 6 μm were fabricated by layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The morphology of the obtained capsules was observed with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), respectively. The elastic properties of the capsules were studied with AFM. The capsule was pressed by cantilever with different lengths, a glass bead glued at the end of the cantilever. The force curves were measured on the capsule in air. The Young's modulus of the capsule was obtained (E = 170 MPa for the loading). Results show that this model can predict the elastic deformation of the microcapsule. The accuracy of the elastic deformation of polymer capsule can be ensured using a cantilever of mediate stiffness. Our results show that the existence of the hydrogen-bonding layer makes the multilayered polyelectrolyte harder in comparison with the pure multilayered polyelectrolyte capsules.
