This invention belongs to the field of materials technology and discloses a
polystyrene microsphere /
chitosan composite film loaded with hydrophobic substances and its electrodeposition preparation method. First, a
polystyrene microsphere emulsion loaded with hydrophobic substances is prepared by combining a compound emulsifier,
styrene, water, hydrophobic substances, and
azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). Then,
chitosan is dissolved in an aqueous
acetic acid solution to prepare a
chitosan solution. The two solutions are then mixed, and
sodium chloride solution and
hydrogen peroxide are added to prepare an electrodeposition solution. Finally, using Pt as the
anode and ITO as the
cathode, the
polystyrene microsphere / chitosan
composite film loaded with hydrophobic substances is obtained by electrodeposition. This invention utilizes polystyrene microspheres as a carrier for hydrophobic substances, co-depositing them with chitosan to form a
composite film. The hydrophobic substances in this composite film can remain stable for a long time and retain their original color development and catalytic properties, thus showing good application prospects in coatings,
catalysis, and other fields.
