Abstract

Micron-size monodisperse polystyrene/polydivinylbenzene (PS/PDVB) composite particles having highly crosslinked structures and vinyl groups were prepared as follows. First, 1.9 μm-size monodisperse PS seed particles produced by dispersion polymerization were dispersed in ethanol/water (70/30, w/w) solution which dissolved divinylbenzene (DVB) monomer, benzoyl peroxide as an initiator and poly(vinyl alcohol) as a stabilizer. The PS seed particles were swollen with a large amount of DVB monomers to 4.3 μm in diameter while keeping good monodispersity by the dynamic swelling method, where water was slowly added, continuously, with a micro feeder into the dispersion. And then, the seeded polymerization of the absorbed DVB was carried out.
