Abstract

The synthesis of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) nanoparticles were prepared via emulsion polymerization technique by using different types of cationic surfactants and potassium persulfate as water soluble initiator. The different ranges of cationic surfactants, namely, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), tetradecyl trimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were used at different concentration (below, equivalent and above CMC). FTIR was conducted to observe the absorption peaks at 1600-1500 cm–1, 1800-1700 cm–1, 2700-2500 cm–1 and 3300-3000 cm–1, represents C=O stretching, C-O-C vibration, CH3 and O-H stretching, respectively. SEM was performed to determine the particle size and morphology of PMAA nanoparticles where it showed that the particle size of PMAA nanoparticles between 400-600 nm. The weight decomposition data was obtained from TGA where it showed that the PMAA nanoparticles synthesized using TTAB as cationic surfactant prepared at equivalent CMC is the most stable PMAA nanoparticles.
