This work is an extension of a communication reported by two of the authors [Carro and Herrera-Ordonez, Macromol Rapid Commun 2006, 27, 274], where bimodal particle size distributions (PSD), obtained by asymmetric flow-field flow fractionation (AFFF, AF(4)), were taken as evidence of certain degree of stability of primary particles. Now, emulsion polymerizations of styrene were performed under conditions employed before by other researchers, intending to examine if the behavior observed is general. The number of particles (N) and PSD were studied by means of dynamic light scattering and AF4. By the later, bimodal PSDs were detected in all cases, where the population corresponding to primary particles (diameter
