Lightly Cross-Linked Microgels by Precipitation Polymerization of Maleic Anhydride and Styrenic Monomers
Abstract
The synthesis and properties of micron-sized particles by precipitation polymerization of maleic anhydride (MAn), styrene (Sty), 4-methylstyrene (4MS), and divinylbenzene (DVB-55) in methylethylketone (MEK)/heptane cosolvent mixtures are described. Particles were narrowly dispersed with diameters varying as a function of reaction solvent, cross-linker type and loading, and 4MS/Sty ratios. Diameters ranged from 1 to 14 μm when swollen in good …
