Abstract
The present study reports on the synthesis methods for self-assembling monodisperse colloidal particles, obtained from the system styrene (St)–hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), through emulsion polymerization, using no surfactant. The syntheses performed have led to the conclusion that the emulsion copolymerization in the presence of fullerene is responsible both for a significant decrease of the particles size, as well as for a dimensional monodispersity of the system. The morphology and the size distribution of particles have been explored using SEM and DLS.
