Abstract

Monodisperse and isolated microspheres of poly(N-methylaniline) were successfully prepared through chemical polymerization of N  -methylaniline by S2O82- in adipic acid containing poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Mean diameters of the microspheres with smooth surfaces changed from 320 to 100 nm by increasing the reaction temperature from 25 to 75 °C. The concentration of PVP did not affect much the size of microspheres, but the increased PVP concentration led to longer induction times for the onset of dispersion polymerization.
