Specifically, the water phase is the aqueous solution of water-soluble emulsifier, whereas the oil phase is the mixture of core material, two different N-alkyl acrylamide monomers, crosslinking agent, initiator and co-stabilizer. Then, the mixture, in succession, forms microemulsion by shearing and nanoemulsion via sonication. Subsequently, polymer shell forms from the free radical polymerization of monomer in oil phase activated by initiator under a certain temperature and nitrogen atmosphere, to fully cover the surface of core material.

(21) The mechanism of adopted miniemulsion polymerization is descripted as follows:

(22) The miniemulsion polymerization is defined as a reaction process carried out in the sub-micron (50-500 nm) droplet nucleus stably dispersed in the so-called miniemulsion. In such miniemulsion system, due to the interaction of emulsifiers and stabilizers, a stable and uniform submicron monomer droplet is formed. Compared with the large monomer droplets of the traditional emulsion, the surface area of droplets in the miniemulsion is greatly increased, so that most of the emulsifiers are adsorbed on the surface of these droplets. As a result, there are not enough free emulsifiers in the water phase to form micelles or stable homogeneous nucleation, therefore, the droplets become the main place for reaction nucleation. Miniemulsion polymerization not only retains most of the advantages of traditional emulsion polymerization, but also has unique characteristics, extending the application scope of emulsion polymerization.

(23) Moreover, the compounds used in the present invention, such as N, N-diethyl acrylamide and N, N-dimethyl acrylamide, can act as both monomer and crosslinking agent due to their unique structures just demonstrated as follows:
