Synthesis of Controllable Carboxylated Polystyrene Microspheres by Two-Step Dispersion Polymerization with Hydrocarbon Alcohols

Carboxylated polystyrene (PS) microspheres were synthesized by the two-step dispersion polymerization of styrene in hydrocarbon alcohols (CnH2n+1OH, n=1–5) in the presence of acrylic acid (AA) as a functional comonomer, 2,2′-azobis-(2-methylbutyronitrile) (AMBN) as the initiator and polyvinylpyrroli...
