摘要
In this study, the preparation of micron-sized polymer particles having a novel and unique nonspherical shape which we called almond-shell-like by dual-seeded dispersion polymerization (DSDP) of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA) with polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) seed particles in the presence of decane droplets and evaporation of decane after the polymerization was discussed. The experimental results showed that mushroom-like morphology which is a precursor of the almond-shell-like shape was obtained from DSDP of EHMA. It was found that with changing the PS/PMMA seed particles' weight ratio, the size of the dents on the surface of the particles can be controlled. Furthermore, it was observed that various nonspherical particles can be produced using different methacrylic seed particles and initiators.
