Abstract

A procedure was developed for preparing poly(methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles of 15–50 nm size from coarser (200–300 nm) polymer latex particles prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. The hydrodynamic radii of the macromolecules in the t-BuOH (85 vol %)-H2O (15 vol %) mixture at 30°C and in the i-PrOH (80 vol %)-H2O (20 vol %) mixture at 25°C were determined by dynamic light scattering: Rh = 5.94 × 10−2Mw0.3733 (R2 = 0.9525) and Rh = 2.12 × 10−2Mw0.4641 (R2 = 0.9673), respectively.
