Abstract
Spherical calcium carbonate vaterite crystals were synthesized and the effect of them on stabilization of suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate was investigated. Suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate could be stabilized with calcium carbonate vaterite crystals and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate of the concentrations from 25 to 100 ppm. Poly(methyl methacrylate) beads coated with spherical calcium carbonate vaterite crystals were prepared. With an increase in the concentration of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate from 25 to 100 ppm, the amount of calcium carbonate vaterite crystals adhered on the surface of poly methyl methacrylate bead increased and the mean diameters of the polymer beads decreased.
