Surface modification of crosslinked poly(styrene-divinyl benzene) micrometer-sized particles of narrow size distribution by ozonolysis

Hydroperoxide conjugated microspheres were produced by ozonolysis of crosslinked poly(styrene-divinyl benzene) particles. Functionalization of these crosslinked particles was performed by graft polymerization of vinylic monomers such as acrylonitrile and chloromethylstyrene on these oxidized particles.
