Abstract

Micron-sized, monodisperse polymer particles having unique “disc-like” and “polyhedral” shapes were produced by seeded dispersion polymerization of various methacrylates with 1.57 μm-sized polystyrene seed particles in the presence of saturated hydrocarbon droplets in methanol/water. Such nonspherical shapes were controllable by the polymerization conditions.
