Abstract
Submicron-size monodisperse polystyrene/polyglutaraldehyde (PS/PGLA) composite particles having aldehyde groups at the surfaces were produced by the seeded aldol condensation polymerization of glutaraldehyde at various temperatures of 0∼40°C. Since a part of aldehyde groups was consumed by the Cannizzaro reaction (hemiacetal formation) as a intermolecular reaction of PGLA, the amount of aldehyde groups on PS/PGLA composite particles was varied by the competition between the aldol condensation reaction and the Cannizzaro reaction at the various temperatures.
