Particle Surface Design using an All‐Dry Encapsulation Method

Abstract: Initiated chemical vapor deposition enables an all‐dry encapsulation of fine particles down to the nanoscale by functional polymers. Initiator vapor is first thermally activated to form primary radicals, which, together with the monomer vapor, are adsorbed onto the particle surface where free‐radical polymerization creates a stoichiometric polymer coating (see figure). This polymer coating can subsequently be immobilized with other desired functional molecules.

“…Figure 3 shows the FTIR spectra of pristine and PGMA‐coated CNTs. The spectrum of pristine nanotubes does not contain significant absorbance peaks compared with the spectrum of PGMA‐coated nanotubes, which is expected because CNTs do not absorb much in the infrared region 19. The weak absorption peaks between 2924 and 2845cm −1 can be attributed to CH stretching, while the peak at 1380 cm −1 is due to CH bending 20.…”

“…As a dry mechanism without liquid phase or excipient to produce a conformal polymerization, iCVD also provides the ability to encapsulate fine particles down to nanoscale without challenges of particle agglomeration, toxic solvents, and poor quality control in conventional coatings 144…”

“…The benign reaction conditions inherent to the iCVD process make it an ideal method for coating thermally‐sensitive drugs. Encapsulation of fine drug particles, including microcrystals, is facilitated by the use of a rotary iCVD reactor 161, 162. Additionally, iCVD MAA films have been used to cap the pores of biodegradable, nanoporous Si matrices loaded with a model drug compound 163.…”

“…Due to the solvent‐free nature of vapor‐based coating techniques, the CVD method prevents problems associated with solvents such as the agglomeration of CNTs. So far, different CVD strategies, such as initiated CVD (iCVD) and plasma‐enhanced CVD (PECVD), have been employed to modify CNT surfaces. Previously, it was reported that PECVD‐modified CNTs show better interface compatibility with an epoxy matrix, compared to those with chemical functionalization .…”
