The Effect of Initiator Concentration on Morphology of Particles Synthesized via Seeded Dispersion Polymerization

Novel polymer particles which have been synthesized in recent years have found applications in many fields, including biomedical, drug delivery systems, surfactants, microelectronics to name a few. They are produced using several methods including (seeded) emulsion, (seeded) dispersion, and suspension polymerizations. However, seeded dispersion polymerization (SDP) is favorable, in which their synthesis are accomplished is two steps. In the first stage, seed is produced, which upon addition of the second monomer, is transformed to composite particles. In this article, SDP is performed using two types of seed particles, and the effect of initiator concentration on the final morphology is investigated
