Morphology of micron-sized, monomer-adsorbed, crosslinked polymer particles having snowmanlike shapes prepared by the dynamic swelling method
A series of monomer-adsorbed, crosslinked polystyrene/polydivinylbenzene composite particles having snowmanlike shapes were prepared by the dynamic swelling method that the authors had proposed in 1991. The morphology of the snowman-shaped particles was estimated with the contact angle of the monomer phase on the polymer particle. Influences of the kind of monomers and polyvinyl alcohol colloidal stabilizer on the morphology were obviously observed and discussed from the viewpoint of thermodynamic stability.
