Abstract

Anisotropic polystyrene/poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (PS/P(S-DVB)) protrusion particles with various morphologies such as eyeball-like, snowman-like, and raspberry-like were synthesized using a modified seeded polymerization method by dynamically controlling and stabilizing the phase separation. The effects of swelling agent, crosslinker, and monomer concentrations on the particle morphologies were studied. Using the PS/P(S-DVB) protrusion particles as templates, anisotropic silica (SiO2) hollow microspheres were fabricated facilely. The obtained anisotropic silica hollow spheres had a potential application in rapid waste removal and detoxification extraction with a very simple procedure.
