Abstract

Polystyrene/poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS/P4VP) particles with various morphologies such as popcorn-like (A), colloidal molecule NH(3) (B), colloidal molecule H(2)O (C) and mushroom-like (D) were generated by dynamically controlling and stabilizing the phase separation during the seeded swelling polymerization.
