A Pickering emulsion polymerization of aniline, using different hydrophilicities of oil phases, was stabilized by ZnO nanoparticles and performed to synthesize composite latex particles of polyaniline/ZnO. Ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) was used as an oxidizing agent. The morphologies and growth mechanisms of the resulted composite latex particles were studied. The pH-regulation capacity of the composite latex particles was discussed. When toluene was used as the oil phase, the composite latex particles showed hollow structure, irregular morphology, and hundreds of nanometer in size. It was ascribed to the polymerization of aniline on the interfaces of droplets/water. ZnO nanoparticles, with 50-100 nm in size, acted as surfactants to stabilize the emulsion. When THF was used as an oil phase, the composite latex particles showed spherical morphology and enwrapping ZnO nanoparticles. It was attributed to the homogeneous nucleation of polyaniline in the aqueous phase. ZnO nanoparticles acted as templates for the polyaniline particles. The stability of the Pickering emulsion polymerization was affected by the volume ratio of the oil phase to water. The aqueous solution with pH 3-9 could simply be regulated to about pH 7 by the composite latex particles. It was contributed by the dissolution of ZnO nanoparticles and doping-dedoping of polyaniline in the acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
