摘要
Various nonspherical polystyrene (PS) particles were prepared by slow evaporation of toluene (used common good solvent) from homogeneous PS/hexadecane (HD)/toluene droplets dispersed in surfactant aqueous solutions at room temperature, followed by the rapid removal of HD from PS/HD particles with various phase-separated morphologies. The morphology of PS/HD particles was controlled by tuning the interfacial tension with various types of surfactants. Hemispherical PS particles with flat surfaces were obtained from phase-separated PS/HD/toluene droplets having a Janus structure, when polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether with an average ethylene oxide chain length of 30.8 was used as the surfactant.
