The monodisperse particles were obtained in high yield using the optimum composition of solvent mixture depending on the PAA structure. By using a cationic comonomer (VBA), PAA was incorporated quantitatively into the particles. On the other hand, using cationic methacrylates as a comonomer, PAA was not incorporated effectively. The imidization of PAA on the particles proceeded with acetic anhydride and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine to form PS-polyimide (PS-PI) particles. The PS-PI particles were maintained in spherical shape by the thermal treatment up to 240℃. PI hollow particles were also obtained by washing PS-PI particles with toluene., application/pdf}, pages = {471--476}, title = {Preparation of Polystyrene-Polyimide Particles by Dispersion Polymerization of Styrene Using Poly(amic acid) as a Stabilizer}, volume = {38}, year = {2006} }
