Notes:
The effect of the nitrogen purge, monomer purification, type of agitation, and presence of costabilizer on the particle size distribution (PSD) was investigated in the dispersion po-lymerization of styrene in ethanol and in the dispersion copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate in a water-ethanol mixture. Purging with nitrogen and, to a lesser extent, monomer purification, were of paramount importance to achieve monodispersity. The type of agitation had a week effect on the PSD, whereas the presence of costabilizer had no effect on the PSD. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
