The pre-emulsion strategy resulted in a decrease in particle size for the core-shell-shell nanoparticles, as shown by dynamic light scattering. Excess silica in the emulsion resulted in phase separation and opaque, brittle samples. Samples made with this incorporation strategy showed poor mechanical properties. The post-emulsion strategy also resulted in poor processing. SAXS data show that there is no long range ordering with the SiO2 and core-shell nanoparticles. However, SAXS did show the possibility of a nanopcomposite with short range ordering of silica and core-shell particles.
