There is current interest in developing new synthesis strategies for multifunctional hollow spheres with tunable structural properties that would be useful in encapsulation and controlled release applications. A new route was reported recently, in which the sequential reaction of polyamines, multivalent anions, and charged nanoparticles leads to the formation of polymer-filled and water-filled organic/inorganic micron-sized structures known as nanoparticle-assembled capsules. This technique is unique among other capsule preparation routes, as it allows the rapid and scalable formation of robust shells at room temperature, in near-neutral water, and with readily available precursors. This nanoparticle assembly synthesis route involves two steps:? the formation of polymer aggregates and the subsequent deposition of particles around the aggregates. The purpose of this paper is to understand in greater detail the noncovalent chemistry of the polymer?salt aggregation step. With poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) as the model polymer, aggregate formation was investigated as a function of charge ratio, pH, and time through dynamic light scattering, electrophoretic mobility measurements, chloride ion measurements, and optical microscopy. PAH formed aggregates by the cross-linking action of divalent and higher-valent anions above a critical charge ratio and in a pH range defined by the pKa values of PAH and the anion. The aggregates grew in size through coalescence and with growth rates that depended on their surface charge. Controlling polymer aggregate growth provided a direct and simple means to adjust the size of the resultant capsule materials.
