Synthesis of monodisperse poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres
Abstract
Highly crosslinked monodisperse poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres were produced by precipitation polymerization with acetonitrile as solvent. The radical initiators AIBN, BPO, and ADVN were used. The process does not require stabilizers of any type, and produces monodisperse particles with diameters between 2 and 5 μm, depending on the conditions. These microspheres do not swell or dissolve in any common solvent, and have clean, stabilizer‐free surfaces. The particle formation and growth mechanism is proposed to resemble that of dispersion polymerization, except that the particles are stabilized against coagulation by their rigid, crosslinked surfaces rather than by added stabilizers. Spherical particles were formed only at effective crosslinker/monomer or divinyl/monovinyl ratios larger than 1 : 2. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

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.
