Optically active polyurethane/titania/silica (LPU/TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2}) multilayered core-shell composite microspheres were prepared by the combination of titania deposition on the surface of silica spheres and subsequent polymer grafting. LPU/TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} was characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), SEM and TEM, and the infrared emissivity value (8-14 {mu}m) was investigated in addition. The results indicated that titania and polyurethane had been successfully coated onto the surfaces of silica microspheres. LPU/TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} exhibited clearly multilayered core-shell construction. The infrared emissivity values reduced along with the increase of covering layers thus proved that the interfacial interactions had direct influence on the infrared emissivity. Besides, LPU/TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} multilayered microspheres based on the optically active polyurethane took advantages of the orderly secondary structure and strengthened interfacial synergistic actions. Consequently, it possessed the lowest infrared emissivity value. - Graphical Abstract: Optically active polyurethane/titania/silica (LPU/TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2}) multilayered core-shell composite microspheres were prepared by the combination of titania deposition on the surface of silica spheres and subsequent polymer grafting. Highlights: > Optically active polyurethane based on tyrosine was used for the modification of nanoparticles. > LPU/TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} multilayered core-shell microspheres were prepared and characterized. > Interfacial interactions and secondary structure affected the infrared emissivity of composite.
