Monodisperse polymeric spheres in the micron size range by a single step process
Abstract
A method for the formation of monodisperse polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spheres, in the micron diameter range, was developed. The polymerisation reaction was carried out in a series of alcohols, using homo‐ and co‐polymers as steric stabilisers in combination with a quaternary ammonium salt which probably acts as an electrostatic co‐stabiliser. Monodisperse PS spheres were formed in the particle size range of 1–6 μm, by a single step process. The size range could be extended by further addition of monomer to the reaction mixture during the polymerisation. The solubility parameter of the alcohol used and the nature of the surfactant determine the diameter of the resulting spheres. However, the concentration of surfactant did not seem to affect strongly the size of the spheres but only the dispersity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
