“…Such high monodispersities have so far not been achieved in light-emitting polymer particles regardless of the method of preparation. The monodispersity we report here is similar to that for particles of poly(methyl methacrylate) or polystyrene, prepared by using a dispersion polymerization procedure 21 . A close up of the particles reveals that the surface is smooth and does not show any roughness on scales larger than 10 nm (Fig.…”

The self-assembly of colloidal building blocks into complex and hierarchical structures offers a versatile and powerful toolbox for the creation of new photonic and optoelectronic materials. However, well-defined and monodisperse colloids of semiconducting polymers, which would form excellent building blocks for such self-assembled materials, are not readily available. Here we report the first demonstration of a suzuki-miyaura dispersion polymerization; this method produces highly monodisperse submicrometer particles of a variety of semiconducting polymers. moreover, we show that these monodisperse particles readily self-assemble into photonic crystals that exhibit a pronounced photonic stopgap.

Currently, there is a resurgence of interest in the preparation of monodisperse, size-controlled latex particles in non-polar solvents by the dispersion polymerization technique. This technique has great potential for manufacturing bespoke latex particles for emerging applications such as the use of latex particles in electrophoretic displays, where one of the numerous requirements is that the particle systems be suspended in low dielectric constant, non-polar solvents. This article reviews the academic literature around the typical monomers used in non-polar dispersion polymerization. It briefly introduces the origin of the technique and the initial seminal work carried out in this area. It also describes how such particles have been used in the past as model colloids for academic purposes and provide recent examples where dispersion polymerization is used to create novel functional particles. Subsequently, the article provides a thorough knowledge basis for each monomer used in non-polar dispersion polymerization, with a focus on the evolution of the technique, including progress in controlling the final particle characteristics and in designing novel effective stabilizers. Finally, a brief review on the use of the technique to prepare well-controlled latex particles in supercritical fluids is also presented.
