Abstract

 About 2-μm-sized polystyrene (PS) particles having uneven surfaces were prepared by a posttreatment in which toluene-swollen PS particles were thrown into a methanol bath to release toluene therefrom rapidly. The posttreatment was named the “solvent-absorbing/releasing method”. The PS particle had large dents at the surface. The size of the dents was changed by the conditions of the posttreatment.
