Influences of the locations of monomer and initiator in the seeded polymerization systems on the morphologies of micron-sized monodispersed composite polymer particles

Morphology of micron‐sized, monodisperse, nonspherical polystyrene/poly(n‐butyl methacrylate) composite particles produced by seeded dispersion polymerization

“…In a previous article 8 three types of seeded polymerization of n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) as one of a general methacrylic monomer were carried out with 1.76-m, monodisperse PS seed particles. In them the PS/poly(BMA) (PBMA) composite particles produced by seeded dispersion polymerization had a nonspherical shape.…”

Morphology of micron-sized monodispersed composite polymer particles produced by seeded polymerization for the dispersion of highly monomer-swollen polymer particles

“…In a series of investigations on the morphologies of submicron-sized [14] and micron-sized [15][16][17][18] composite polymer particles produced, respectively, by seeded emulsion polymerization and seeded dispersion polymerization, it is clear that the viscosity within particles during the seeded polymerizations is one of the key factors which give a great influence on the morphology.…”

“…Figure 6 shows TEM photographs of ultrathin cross section of the PS/PBMA composite particles shown in Fig. 3 exposed with RuO which stains not PBMA, but PS [16]. In Fig.…”

Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles prepared by core-shell emulsion polymerization

“…Core‐shell polymerization is a two‐stage process that starts with the preparation of a seed latex that can be prepared from a large variety of materials, for example styrene (St), divinylbenzene (DVB), alkyl acrylate, and methacrylate ester‐based seeds have all been reported 3–18. The seed latex particles are generally monodisperse and can vary in size from approximately 30 nm to more than 1 μm in diameter.…”
