Preparation of micron-size copolymer particles is highly useful in the fields of polymer sensor and electronic materials. For the preparation of micron-size copolymer particles, radical polymerizations have been often used because of the simple and convenient procedure. Living radical polymerization for the 4-vinylpyridine homo-polymer and block copolymers has been reported using various methods. In this study, amphiphilic copolymer microspheres of poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) were prepared by dispersion polymerization in alcohol/water medium. This copolymers, the characteristic as self-assembly by using an amphiphilic polymer. The self-assembly characteristics of prepared copolymers were investigated using Atomic Force Microscope(AFM). |
