Abstract

AbstractThis article deals with preparations of fine particles of metallocene copolymers by emulsifierfree emulsion polymerization of vinylferrocene (VFc), ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FMMA), 1‐ferrocenylethyl methacrylate (1‐FEMA), 2‐ferrocenylethyl methacrylate (2‐FEMA), and 1‐ruthenocenylethyl methacrylate (1‐REMA) with acrylonitrile (AN), styrene (St), and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in water/ethanol medium. As a result, spherical copolymer particles containing metallocene derivatives have been successfully synthesized in the particle size of ca. 120 to 600 nm. The contents of ferrocenyl or ruthenocenyl groups in copolymer particles increased with increasing concentration of charged metallocene derivatives, while the amounts of metallocene derivatives incorporated into particles are much lower than the charged ratio. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
