Thermally Expandable Microspheres Prepared via Suspension Polymerization - Synthesis, Characterization, and Application

Thermally expandable microspheres are polymeric core/shell particles in which a volatile hydrocarbon is encapsulated by a thermoplastic shell. When these microspheres are heated, they expand and increase their volume dramatically. This volume increase is retained upon cooling, leading to a density r...
