occluded particle

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14302
Multicomponent particle in which one polymer forms more than one phase domain within a matrix of another polymer.
Notes:
  1. The number and size of the domains can vary, and their spatial distribution within the particles is often not uniform.
  2. This type of particle is also referred to as having microdomain morphology.
