Preparation of PMMA Nanoparticles Loaded with Benzophenone‐3 through Miniemulsion Polymerization

Abstract Summary: The present paper analyzes the production of poly(methyl methacrylate) – PMMA – nanoparticles loaded with benzophenone‐3 through miniemulsion polymerization. The obtained product is homogeneous and stable, allowing for preparation of photo‐protective formulations. It is observed in particular that bezophenone‐3 interacts with the reacting system, promoting the growth of the PMMA chains produced in miniemulsion.
