The mechanism for the formation of polymer particles in the dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene in alcohol-water mixtures has been investigated. Methacrylic based poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomers and poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) have been used as steric stabilizers. Dynamic light scattering as well as transmission electron microscopy have been applied to determine the evolution of the average particle size at the beginning of the polymerization. Stable nuclei from 80 to 400 nm in diameter size were detected. The nucleation process was quite rapid and completed within less thanca.0.1% monomer conversion. The experimental results are compared with those predicted by the multibin kinetics model for coalescence developed by Paine [(1990) Macromolecules 23: 3109].
