Abstract

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles were produced through dispersion polymerization using poly(styrene)-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) block copolymer as a steric stabilizer in methanol. Low-molecular-weight-distribution block copolymers were synthesized using 4-toluic acid dithiobenzoate through a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method. Stable polymer particles were obtained when the block copolymer concentration was 1, 4, or 10 wt% relative to monomer. The average particle size (2.4 -3.4 μm) varied depending on the concentration of the block copolymer. As the block copolymer concentration increased, the size of the particles decreased. In particular, 4 wt% of the block copolymer produced 2.7 μm monodisperse PMMA (C_v= 3.3 %). The existence of the block copolymer on the PMMA surface was verified through XPS measurements.
