Tailoring of the Chemical Resistance of Chrome Yellow Particles by Silica Coating

Herein, we synthesized silica-coated chrome yellow particles having improved chemical resistance. The intermediate with a good dispersion stability was prepared and the chemical resistance of the final product was investigated. The effects of pH and temperature, as the main parameters influencing the formation of particles, the reduced particle size by homogenizer on the silica coating were investigated. The change in the particle morphology by temperature and pH was also studied. As the results, small and monodisperse particles were achieved at low pH and high temperature. Good silica coating was obtained when used reduced size of the particles by homogenizer. Furthermore, the sufficient silica coating by microencapsulation was obtained at 9 10 pH and the temperature above 90 .
