Process for preparation of monodisperse polymer particles having increased particle size

摘要

In a dispersion system comprising seed polymer particles and a monomer, the solubility of the monomer is reduced by such means as addition of water, whereby the monomer is precipitated and absorbed in the seed polymer particles, and in this state, the monomer absorbed in the seed polymer particles is selectively polymerized. Namely, according to the present invention, the decrease of the solubility of the monomer in the dispersion system is utilized for absorption of the monomer in the seed polymer particles, and polymer particles having an increased particle size can be prepared in a short time at a high efficiency.
