The adsorption and organization of reactive microgels has been investigated on technical aluminium. By means of a two-step emulsion polymerisation with phosphate substituted monomer we obtain polymeric nano-particles with phosphate groups on the surface. In a first step cross-linked butyl acrylate/styrene particles were formed. In a second step a mixture of functionalised acrylate and butyl acrylate/styrene was added to the system. In this way, the composite particles were obtained. Particle size and size distribution were measured by F-FFF and light scattering methods. For phosphate functionalised dispersions, it was possible to show the distribution of P-species around particles by energy dispersive TEM easurements. These nano-particles adsorb spontaneously onto aluminium surfaces from aqeous dispersion. They form well packed layers, which have been proved by SEM measurements. The properties of the adsorbed microgel layers were confirmed by industrial linked adhesion and corrosion tests. Panels with adsorbed phosphate funczionalised particles have an excellent corrosion inhibition effect.

Die Arbeit beschreibt die Synthese und Charakterisierung von amphiphilen Polyurethanen mit Emulgatoreigenschaften für die Polymerisation hydrophober Monomere in wässriger Phase. Der Emulgator wurde mit kolloid- und polymerchemischen Methoden hinsichtlich seiner grenzflächenaktiven Eigenschaften sowie einer Strukturbildung in wässriger Phase charakterisiert. Die Emulsionspolymerisation mit dem polymeren PU-Emulgator am Beispiel von Styrol ist untersucht worden. Dabei sind die Partikelgrössen und deren Verteilung in Abhängigkeit von Reaktionsparametern mittels Photonen-Korrelations-Spektroskopie und durch Fluss-Feldfluss-Fraktionierung (F-FFF) bestimmt worden. Weiterhin wurde mittels Dilatometrie und Reaktionskalometrie die Polymerisationskinetik untersucht. Die Partikelmorphologie konnte durch Festkörper-NMR modelliert werden. Durch Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) im Tapping mode konnte die Oberfläche und die Phasenseparation der polymeren Phasen charakterisiert werden. / This paper describes the synthesis of a reactive amphiphilic polyurethane, and its use as an emulsifier for the emulsion polymerization of styrene. The colloid properties and the structure of the emulsifier in the aqueous phase have been investigated. When the acrylic polymerization is carried out with hydrophobic monomers, we obtain a composite particle structure. The variation of particle size and particle size distribution as a function of the reaction parameters was measured by light scattering methods and Flow-fieldflow-fractionation (F-FFF) . Through investigation by dilatometry and reaction calorimetry it was possible to compare the polymerization process with that of common emulsion polymerization. Solid State NMR analysis allowed us to develop a core-shell model for the composite particle structure, and to determine the presence of an interphase layer between core and shell. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) methods were used to characterize the surface of the films, and tapping mode AFM was used to characterize the polymer phase separation on the micro scale.
