Monodisperse copolymer particles consisting of styrene and n-butyl methacrylate have been prepared in the l-10-µ size range. These particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization in ethanol-water media using a single steric stabilizer to prevent coalescence. Several comonomer ratios were investigated, and it was observed that narrow size distributions could be achievedin all cases with essentiallycomplete incorporation of monomer at the feed composition. Differences in the polarity of the starting solvent composition could be estimated with the solubility parameter and were found to have a significant effect on final particle size. Changes in the polarity of the reaction medium with conversion of monomer to polymer was observed to broaden the particle size distribution.
