Dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide in the presence of random copolymers
Statistical random copolymers of 1H,M-perfluorooctyl methacrylate and 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, poly(FOMA-co-DMAEMA), effectively stabilized the dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide. Free-flowing, micron-sized spherical PMMA particles could be produced with poly(FOMA-co-DMAEMA) containing 34 w/w% FOMA,
