Problems solved by technology

Among them, the particle size distribution obtained by suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization is wide, which is not suitable for preparing nanostructure materials as template materials, and its application in standard standards and biopharmaceuticals is also limited; the preparation of soap-free emulsion polymerization and seed swelling method Although polymer particles have good size monodispersity, there are shortcomings such as narrow particle size control range, harsh reaction conditions, time-consuming purification process, and energy consumption (soap-free emulsion polymerization and seed swelling method).
Dispersion polymerization is a special kind of precipitation polymerization carried out in an alcohol system. During the dispersion polymerization process, the particle size and distribution of the product are not as sensitive to the change of reaction parameters as soap-free emulsion polymerization, and the functional groups on the surface of the particles and the interface electricity The performance can also be adjusted, and the surface of the obtained particles is relatively smooth; in addition, compared with other methods, the degree of ionization of the functional groups on the surface of the particles is lower, and the electrostatic repulsion between the particles is smaller, which makes the separation and purification of the particles more difficult. Although the dispersion polymerization method has certain advantages in the preparation of monodisperse polymer particles, the particle size is often large (1-20 μm), which greatly limits the application range of the prepared monodisperse polymer particles.
When adopting the dispersion polymerization method to prepare polystyrene microspheres, the reaction is usually carried out in an open system, and an inert gas is required to discharge the air in the system, and the entire reaction process needs to be carried out under the protection of an inert gas to avoid Dissolved oxygen inhibits the polymerization of styrene monomer, and this method tends to have larger particle sizes of styrene microspheres due to the slower nucleation rate

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of polymer materials, in particular to a method for preparing monodisperse submicron polystyrene spheres by a medium-low temperature solvothermal method. Background technique [0002] Monodisperse polymer particles are used as template materials for the synthesis of many inorganic functional nanostructure materials due to their unique spherical structure, single size distribution and good interfacial reactivity, such as core-shell structure materials and hollow structure spherical materials; They are also used as basic structural units to prepare various nanoporous functional devices, such as periodically arranged photonic crystals and macroporous materials. The development of these fields has greatly broadened the scope of application of monodisperse polymer colloidal particles, and also put forward higher requirements for the size and distribution of polymer colloidal particles, high dispersion and surface reactivit...
