Abstract

Micron-sized monodispersed cross-linked polymer particles having one hollow in the inside were produced by seeded polymerization for the dispersion of (toluene/divinylbenzene)-swollen PS particles prepared utilizing the dynamic swelling method which the authors proposed. In order to control the hollow size, the weight ratio of toluene/PS was changed in the range of 5∼20. The hollow size increased with an increase in the weight ratio. Even if benzene and xylene were used in place of toluene, similar hollow particles were produced, though the hollow size was affected by their solubility in water.
