Abstract

The present study reports on methods of synthesis of self-assembling monodisperse colloidal particles, obtained for the system styrene (St)–hydroxypropyl methacrylate, through emulsion polymerization, using no surfactant. The syntheses performed have led to the conclusion that the emulsion copolymerization in the presence of fullerene is responsible both for a significant decrease of the particles size as well as for a dimensional monodispersity of the system; the latter has been achieved also through seeded polymerization. The morphology and the size distribution of particles have been explored using scanning electron microscope and dynamic light scattering.
