Abstract
Micron-sized, monodispersed, “onion-like” multilayered poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/polystyrene (PS) (1/1, w/w) composite particles were prepared by the solvent-absorbing/releasing method (SARM). The viscosity within toluene-swollen composite particles, the release rate of toluene therefrom, the PMMA/PS ratio, and the kind of solvent had great influences on the reconstruction of the morphology of the PMMA/PS composite particles by the SARM. From these results, the conditions for the preparation of the multilayered composite particles by the SARM are clarified.
