- Abstract Micrometer-sized, monodispersed silicone hollow particles are functional materials with properties attributed to both their hollow structure and the silicone composition. However, there are few reports on their preparation. We have successfully prepared these particles by combining an original suspension polymerization technique, the self-assembling phase-separated polymer method, with a molecular diffusion method. The resulting particles exhibit heat resistance owing to the silicone matrix and maintain their hollow structure even after heating to 900 °C.Oxford University Press (OUP), Dec. 2024, Chemistry Letters, 54(1) (1)Scientific journal
- Abstract Single hollow particles are used in various fields, particularly in thermal insulation materials, owing to their low thermal conductivity attributed to encapsulated air properties. “The self‐assembling phase separated polymer (SaPSeP) method” is an original hollowing method that is proposed by this laboratory 25 years ago. Most hollow particles prepared by the SaPSeP method have carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen polymer shells, which lack sufficient heat resistance. In this study, hollow particles with a silicone shell, which is highly heat‐resistant, are prepared using the SaPSeP method using a trimer of 3‐methacryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane (MPDS). The MPDS trimer (3MPDS) is synthesized through the sol–gel reaction of MPDS with a basic aqueous solution. Additionally, hollow particles are prepared using a new silicone oligomer composed of MPDS and dimethoxymethylvinylsilane (DMVS). Both hollow particles prepared from 3MPDS and from a new silicone oligomer composed of MPDS and DMVS showed high heat resistance. They maintained their hollow structure even when exposed to temperatures up to 900 °C.Wiley, Dec. 2024, Macromolecular Reaction EngineeringScientific journal

- Abstract Hollow polyimide (PI) particles were successfully prepared using chemical imidization with acetic anhydride and pyridine as the chemical imidization reagents. The imidization reagents were added to the dispersion in which N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) droplets with dissolved poly(amic acid) (PAmA, the precursor of PI) were dispersed in a cyclohexane medium. In the absence of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (P[n-BMA]) in PAmA/DMF droplets, approximately 10% of the PI particles had hollow structures. Conversely, in the presence of a small amount of P(n-BMA) in PAmA/DMF droplets (0.2∼1 wt%), all PI particles had hollow structures. The P(n-BMA) would affect the phase separation of the PI in the droplets, thereby promoting the formation of a hollow structure.Oxford University Press (OUP), Dec. 2023, Chemistry Letters, 53(2) (2)Scientific journal

Abstract Effect of divalent metals was studied in the cross-coupling polymerization of thiophenes leading to head-to-tail-type poly-3-hexylthiophene. Deprotonation of the C–H bond at the 5-position of 2-halo-3-hexylthiophene by LDA followed by metal exchange was carried out in one pot and following addition of nickel catalyst underwent polymerization. One-shot reaction involving deprotonation/transmetalation/ cross coupling polymerization was also examined with manganese(II) chloride and nickel(II) catalyst.Scientific journal - American Chemical Society (ACS), Aug. 2021, Langmuir, 37(34) (34), 10388 - 10393Scientific journal

- Regioregular polythiophene bearing a benzenesulfonate group, which involved an alkylene spacer between thiophene and benzene ring, was synthesized.

- In this study, we report the preparation of hollow cellulose particles via a solvent-releasing method with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Emim]Ac). A dispersion comprising [Emim]Ac droplets with dissolved cellulose and a hexane medium containing a stabilizer was poured into a large amount of acetone (precipitant), resulting in the precipitation of cellulose and the formation of solid cellulose particles with a hollow structure. We found that the formation of the hollow structure resulted from the equilibrium phase separation. Porous structures were also obtained using ethanol or t-butanol as a precipitant, where cellulose immediately precipitated (i.e., exhibited non-equilibrium phase separation). In the case where acetone was used as the precipitant, the diffusion rate of [Emim]Ac from the droplets into the precipitant was relatively low that is, the precipitation of cellulose was delayed, which allowed the cellulose to be phase-separated into a thermodynamically stable structure (equilibrium phase separation), resulting in the formation of the hollow structure.American Chemical Society, Nov. 2020, Langmuir, 36(46) (46), 14076 - 14082, EnglishScientific journal
- In previous studies, it was found that a large amount of the polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether nonionic emulsifier, Emulgen 911 (E911), was incorporated inside polymer particles obtained at the completion of a conventional emulsion polymerization with potassium persulfate as a typical water-soluble initiator. In this study, to understand the incorporation phenomenon in more detail, the incorporation behavior during a batch emulsion polymerization of styrene was investigated. The percentage of E911 incorporated inside polystyrene (PS) particles relative to the total weight of E911 used in the polymerization increased to 18% until 50% conversion and then decreased and levelled off to 13% at 70-80% conversion. A similar incorporation behavior was observed in a seeded emulsion polymerization of styrene, in which E911 was added to an emulsifier-free PS seed emulsion to set the same E911 concentration as the batch emulsion polymerization before swelling of the PS seed particles with styrene at 70 °C for 24 h. These indicate that E911 molecules absorbed once into styrene-swollen PS particles partially exited therefrom into the aqueous medium during the polymerizations. When the E911 concentration in the aqueous medium is kept above the critical micelle concentration for a long period by the repartitioning process of E911 from styrene droplets into styrene-swollen particles via aqueous medium and/or exiting from the styrene-swollen particles into the aqueous medium, secondary particle nucleation continues during the polymerization, resulting in PS particles having a broad size distribution.American Chemical Society, Aug. 2020, Langmuir, 36(33) (33), 9747 - 9755, EnglishScientific journal
- Micrometer-sized poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) particles with an anionic side chain, poly(1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate) (poly([Bmim][SPMT])), are successfully prepared by dispersion polymerization at 60 degrees C in ethanol/ethyl acetate (2/8, w/w) with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) as a stabilizer. However, the obtained particles do not maintain the particulate state during drying at room temperature due to poly([Bmim][SPMT])'s low glass-transition temperature, below room temperature. In order to prevent coalescence and maintain particle shape, a cross-linking monomer is added after the nucleation stage of dispersion polymerization. Moreover, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) demonstrates cation exchange between the obtained particles and metal cations (Ag+).WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, Jul. 2020, MACROMOLECULAR RAPID COMMUNICATIONS, 41(14) (14), English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Differently substituted thiophene-thiophene-alternating copolymers were formally synthesized employing a halo-bithiophene as a monomer. Nickel-catalyzed polymerization of bithiophene with substituents at the 3-position, including alkyl-, fluoroalkyl-, or oligosiloxane-containing groups, afforded the corresponding copolymers in good to excellent yield. The solubility test in organic solvents was performed to reveal that several copolymers showed a superior solubility. X-ray diffraction analysis of the thin film of the alternating copolymers composed of methyl and branched oligosiloxane substituents was also performed, and the results suggested the formation of a dual-layered film structure.BEILSTEIN-INSTITUT, Mar. 2020, BEILSTEIN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, 16, 317 - 324, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- We reported the preparation of porous cellulose particles by the solvent-releasing method, in which a solution of cellulose, dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and N,N'-dimethylformamide, was dropped into a large amount of 1-butanol using a syringe. The obtained particles had a high specific area because of their porous structure. Herein, to functionalize the cellulose particles, carboxylate groups are introduced into their porous structure by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-mediated oxidation and ion exchange of carboxylate groups to Ag cations is conducted. Composite cellulose/Ag particles were synthesized by the reduction reaction using the carboxylate groups as a scaffold without free silver nanoparticles in the medium. The obtained composite particles exhibited a high catalytic ability, which was evaluated by examining the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Moreover, we determined that the catalytic efficiency was maintained for at least three cycles by immobilizing Ag on cellulose particles.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Feb. 2020, ACS OMEGA, 5(4) (4), 1919 - 1926, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- A regioregular head-to-tail (HT)-type polythiophene was synthesized by the deprotonative nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling polymerization of 2-chlorothiophene bearing a neopentyl benzenesulfonate group at the 3-position. The obtained HT-regioregular polymer was found to dissolve in chloroform or THF, while it became soluble in water upon heating at 185 degrees C for 10 min by the liberation of the protected neopentyl group. The thin film of the polymer showed a remarkable improvement in conductivity of ca. 10(3) times before/after heating, suggesting the thermally induced intramolecular doping of polythiophene by the formed sulfonic acid at the side chain. The related doping was also observed in a poly(phenylacetylene) derivative, which was synthesized by rhodium-catalyzed polymerization. Copolymerization of such thiophene- and acetylene-bearing neopentyl sulfonate with 3-alkylthiophene and phenylacetylene, respectively, produced the corresponding statistical copolymers, demonstrating the formal self-doping of poly(3-alkylthiophene) and poly(phenylacetylene).AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Feb. 2020, MACROMOLECULES, 53(4) (4), 1171 - 1179, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

Composite particles consisting of elastic silicone and glassy poly(methyl methacrylate) were prepared. The morphology of the particles could be alternated between sea-island and core–shell structures by controlling the annealing temperature.
Scientific journal - © 2020 The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry. Nosyl annulation of a bithiophene derivative with nosylamide (NsNH2) gives a 5-7-5 fused N, S-heterocyclic compound. The detailed molecular structure of the obtained nosylamide was analyzed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The obtained product was transformed into several amines and amides. The C-Br bond at the fused heterocycle was also subjected to cross-coupling reactions, where the nosyl group was found to be tolerant.2020, Heterocycles, 101(2) (2), 461 - 470, English[Refereed][Invited]Scientific journal
- To prepare cross-linked silicone (silicone rubber) particles in an aqueous medium, we investigated two synthesis methods involving a miniemulsion system. The first method was based on cationic ring-opening polymerization of cyclic siloxane, which is a common synthetic route for linear silicone oil and uses octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D-4) as the monomer and dimeric D-4 (bis-D-4) as the cross-linker. Although this method produces silicone particles, the particles do not remain in the particulate state after drying because of low cross-linking density. The polymerization mechanism of this method was also investigated, which proceeds under the ring-opening reaction of D-4 in monomer droplets and upon polycondensation of hydrolyzed D-4, which occurs in the water phase (ie, outside the monomer droplets). This mechanism implied that introducing the cross-linking structure into particles is difficult because of the low solubility of bis-D-4 in water. To overcome these difficulties, we demonstrated a second method of preparing silicone particles based on the thiol-Michael addition reaction between thiol-terminated silicone oil and triacrylate in miniemulsion systems. Transmission electron microscopy images indicated that the silicone particles obtained in the particulate state upon drying and the aggregates of these particles showed elasticity.WILEY, Dec. 2019, POLYMERS FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, 30(12) (12), 3003 - 3010, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Composite particles were prepared by the seeded polymerization of an ionic liquid monomer ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide) ([MTMA][TFSAD in the presence of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles. The obtained particles have a core-shell morphology: PMMA core and P([MTMA][TFSA]) shell. To change the composite particle morphology from core-shell to Janus, we used the solvent-absorbing/releasing method with methyl isobutyl ketone, which is a suitable solvent for PMMA and P([MTMA]-[TFSA]) with nonionic surfactants (polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether, Emulgen 950) and Li[TFSA]. Based on the ultrathin cross-section observations, we found the core-shell PMMA/P([MTMA][TFSA]) composite particle morphology changed to a Janus structure. Moreover, anion exchange occurred in the obtained Janus particles. When using LiBr, we obtained PMMA hemisphere particles because of the changes in the PIL hemisphere polarity via anion exchange and dissolution in water. On the contrary, the use of poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) maintained the Janus structure because of ionic cross-linking and the changes in the PIL hemisphere to hydrophilic properties, which became swollen with medium water.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Nov. 2019, INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH, 58(46) (46), 20996 - 21002, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- In this study, cylindrical polystyrene particles were applied as a particulate stabilizer to prepare a Pickering emulsion of decane (oil)/water. Unlike the spherical particles that are typically used in Pickering emulsions, the cylindrical particles enhanced the emulsion's stability (up to 1 year). Furthermore, the cylindrical particulate stabilizer enabled a stable emulsion across a wide range of pH. Notably, unique adsorption behavior of the cylindrical particles on an oil droplet was observed, in which the cylindrical particles connected head to head to form a network that acted as a cage around the oil droplet.

- The unprecedented synthesis of regioregular head-to-tail-type poly(1,4-arylene)s bearing different substituents at the 2- and 5-positions is described. They were prepared by the polymerization of 2,5-disubstituted bromo(chloro)arylenes by selective halogen-metal exchange with a Grignard reagent and subsequent cross-coupling polymerization with a nickel catalyst [NiCl2(dppp)]. Formation of the regioregular poly(1,4-arylene)s were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, and showed remarkable differences to those polymers having uncontrolled regioregularity. Polymerization of bromo(chloro)arylenes with a chiral alkoxy substituent also led to the regioregular head-to-tail-type polyarylene, which demonstrated circular dichroism, thus suggesting formation of a structure with higher-order regularity.WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, Jul. 2019, ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 58(28) (28), 9547 - 9550, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Preparation of 2-halo-3-substituted-thiophene bearing a cyclic oligosiloxane moiety in the side chain was carried out and subjected to nickel(II)-catalyzed deprotonative polymerization to give the corresponding polythiophene, which was found to be highly soluble in various organic solvents particularly in hexanes. Treatment of the thin film of the obtained polythiophene with acidic vapor resulted in cross linking of the cyclic siloxane moiety through ring opening. Accompanying doping of the polythiophene main chain on the polymer film indicated improved conductivity with remarkably drastic change in before/after acidic treatment.CHEMICAL SOC JAPAN, Jun. 2019, CHEMISTRY LETTERS, 48(6) (6), 611 - 614, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- DFT calculation studies were performed for the estimation of racemization barrier of winding vine-shaped heterobiaryls showing molecular asymmetry. The calculated value showed good agreement compared with that derived from experimental studies. Effects of hetroaromatic structure, carbon-carbon double bond at the winding-vine moiety, substituent at the double bond, and substituent at the heteroaromatic rings were studied.PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, Apr. 2019, HETEROCYCLES, 99(1) (1), 294 - 300, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- This study reports microfluidic generation of Janus droplets that consist of a liquid crystal component (a cholesteric aqueous suspension of cellulose nanocrystals, Ch-CNC) and a mineral oil (MO) component. The composition of the droplets was controlled by varying the relative flow rates of MO and Ch-CNC suspension. The shape of the Ch-CNC component of the droplets was changed from a truncated sphere to a hemisphere to a crescent moon. For these three Ch-CNC phase shapes, the Ch packing of the CNC pseudolayers was preserved, however the Ch pitch reduced, which was ascribed to the change in CNC orientation at the Ch-CNC/MO interface from perpendicular to parallel. The shape of the compound droplets was tuned from a dumbbell to a sphere by reducing interfacial tension between the Ch-CNC suspension and MO phases. Photopolymerization of the monomer mixture introduced in the Ch-CNC phase of the droplets and the removal of the sacrificial MO phase enabled the generation of Ch microgels. The results of this work can be used for exploring new applications of Janus colloids and the fabrication of programmable active soft matter.ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, Dec. 2018, SOFT MATTER, 14(47) (47), 9713 - 9719, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- We previously reported the preparation of cellulose particles by the solvent releasing method (SRM). The obtained cellulose particles had a porous structure filled with a surrounding medium. However, the structure was fragile and easily collapsed because of the capillary pressure as the medium evaporated, resulting in dense cellulose particles. To control the morphology of the cellulose particles in a dry state, we focused our study on the influence of the surface tension of the surrounding medium on the structure of cellulose particles because the capillary pressure is proportional to the surface tension. Different media such as toluene, acetone, and pentane were investigated. The morphologies of the resulting cellulose particles were estimated by volume changes, specific surface areas, and compressive strengths. From these results, as the surface tension of the media filling the particles was lowered, particle's specific surface area increased, resulting in the formation of softer particles.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Dec. 2018, LANGMUIR, 34(50) (50), 15490 - 15494, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- We report a nanocolloidal hydrogel that combines the advantages of molecular hydrogels and nanoparticle-based scavengers of heavy metal ions. The hydrogel was formed by the chemical cross-linking of cellulose nanocrystals and graphene quantum dots. Over a range of hydrogel compositions, its structure was changed from lamellar to nanofibrillar, thus enabling the control of hydrogel permeability. Using a microfluidic approach, we generated nanocolloidal microgels and explored their scavenging capacity for Hg2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Ag+ ions. Due to the large surface area and abundance of ion-coordinating sites on the surface of nanoparticle building blocks, the microgels exhibited a high ion-sequestration capacity. The microgels were recyclable and were used in several ion scavenging cycles. These features, in addition to the sustainable nature of the nanoparticles, make this nanocolloidal hydrogel a promising ion-scavenging material.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Aug. 2018, ACS NANO, 12(8) (8), 8160 - 8168, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Polyamide composed of furan dimer, which is prepared from biomass-derived organic molecule 2-furfural, is synthesized. The reaction of 2,2-furan dimer 5,5-dicarbonyl chloride with several 1,-diamines was carried out with a solution or interfacial polycondensation leading to the corresponding polyamide. Measurement of the melting point was performed resulting to exhibit a higher temperature compared with the related polyamide bearing a single furan ring composed of furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Thermal analyses (TG-DTA) also indicated higher temperatures of decomposition than those of FDCA-derived polyamide. (c) 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

- A facile and novel approach to prepare monodisperse polystyrene (PS) particles having a cylindrical shape was discovered. Spherical PS particles prepared by dispersion polymerization were stirred in a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) aqueous solution for several hours using a magnetic stirrer at room temperature. In the presence of PVP, the spherical PS particles deformed into cylindrical shapes following stirring; however, the particles did not deform in the absence of PVP. The deformation rate of the particles was affected by the molecular weight of the dissolved PVP. This stirring method is not only highly efficient and high yielding, but also applicable to other materials such as polymethyl methacrylate. Moreover, the cylindrical particles were successfully applied as particulate surfactants in a Pickering emulsion system, which exhibited excellent stability in comparison to a system using spherical particles as a surfactant. In the first case, the emulsion was left standing for more than 4 months.WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, Jul. 2018, ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 57(31) (31), 9936 - 9940, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Disk-like cellulose particles were facilely prepared by stirring a dispersion of spongy cellulose particles that were prepared with a solvent-releasing method (SRM) with a magnetic stir bar. The obtained particles were thick and disk-like and retained their spongy structure in the wet state. The thick, disk-like particles became thinner in a specific direction upon drying because of capillary force. In contrast, when the same procedure was conducted using cellulose particles with dense structures, the particle shapes were not deformed, and disk-like shapes did not appear. Moreover, when the stirring was carried out using a shaking bath or a touch mixer, the shape transformation was not observed. These results suggest that the spongy structure of the cellulose particles would be a pseudo-plasticization state, which can cause the cellulose particles to deform. The disk-like particles formed as a result of the grinding of spongy cellulose particles between the stir bar and the vial. The number of disk-like particles and the degree of deformation increased with increasing of the stirring time, the speed and the contact area.SPRINGER, Aug. 2017, CELLULOSE, 24(8) (8), 3111 - 3118, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Emulsion polymerization of styrene was conducted using a biosurfactant (i.e., sodium surfactin, hereinafter 30 called just "surfactin") having very low critical micelle concentration (CMC, 2.9 X 10(-3) rnmol/L) and biodegradability characteristics. The nucleation mechanism was investigated by comparing with a conventional surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate) system. Unlike the emulsion polymerization systems using conventional surfactants, nucleation mechanisms changed above CMC in the presence of a biosurfactant. At low concentrations of surfactin (above CMC), the polystyrene (PS) particles are likely generated via a soap-free emulsion polymerization mechanism. In contrast, at high surfactin concentrations, the PS particles would be synthesized by following a micellar nucleation mechanism. However, the slope (0.23) of the log N-p versus log C-s plot (N-p: number of particles; C-s: concentration of surfactin) did not obey the Smith Ewart theory (0.6), this probably being produced by the high adsorbability of surfactin.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jun. 2017, LANGMUIR, 33(23) (23), 5814 - 5818, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Submicrometer-sized raspberry-like polystyrene (PS) particles, which were prepared by emulsion polymerization with polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether nonionic emulsifier (Emulgen 910, HLB 12.2) and potassium persulfate initiator, contained 8.5 vol % (relative to the particle) of water and 5.5 wt % (relative to PS) of Emulgen 910 in the inside. The water absorption decreased the glass transition temperature of the PS particles dispersed in an aqueous medium. The wt % (relative to PS) of the incorporated Emulgen 910 increased with increasing initial Emulgen 910 concentration in the emulsion polymerization, but the wt % (relative to the total Emulgen 910 used) of the incorporated Emulgen 910 was constant at approximately 50% independent of the initial concentration. The vol % (relative to particle) of water increased to 46% by heat treatment at 90 degrees C for 24 h, which was based on further water absorption, and resulted in spherical hollow particles, where the amount of the incorporated Emulgen 910 remarkably decreased in a short treatment and then remained almost constant during the heat treatment. After another 24 h treatment, the percentage of nonhollow particles increased gradually, which was based on the escape of the water domain together with Emulgen 910 from the inside of the particles. On the other hand, spherical PS particles prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization did not contain water in the inside and were not changed to hollow ones by a similar heat treatment. From these results, an innovative easy method to synthesize hydrophobic hollow PS particles is proposed.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Apr. 2017, LANGMUIR, 33(14) (14), 3468 - 3475, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Composite particles comprising poly(2-phenylethyl methacrylate) (PPhEMA) and imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)s were prepared by suspension polymerization of 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide as an ionic liquid monomer with dissolved PPhEMA. Not only PPhEMA exhibits lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior in 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide but also the polymer blend in the bulk state exhibited LCST behavior. However, the composite polymer particles obtained after polymerization at 70 degrees C maintained a homogeneous inner structure after heat treatment as the polymerization temperature was greater than the LCST in this system due to the formation of a cross-linked structure during polymerization. When the composite particles were prepared by suspension polymerization at 30 degrees C, their inner morphology changed from homogeneous to phase separated during the subsequent heat treatment. Moreover, the morphology transformation of the composite particles was dependent on the PPhEMA molecular weight.

- Flattened cross-linked hollow poly(divinylbenzene) (PDVB) particles with encapsulated n-hexadecane (HD) were successfully prepared through suspension polymerization using the self -assembling of phase-separated polymer (SaPSeP) method, in which the solid dispersion medium was gelled by gellan gum and compressed. The solid phase induced by gellan gum can be easily changed to a liquid state by heating, allowing the obtained particles to be easily recovered after polymerization. When the polymerization was conducted in the solid dispersion medium without compression, spherical hollow PDVB/HD composite particles were obtained. In contrast, when the polymerization was conducted with the compression of the solid dispersion medium, flattened hollow PDVB/HD composite particles were obtained. The shape of the flattened hollow polymer particles was controlled by changing the compression ratio of the solid phase, and the size could also be controlled by changing the DVB/HD droplet size using the Shirasu porous glass membrane-emulsification technique. Furthermore, flattened hollow particles larger than 20 mu m in size were obtained, but it was difficult to obtain spherical hollow particles of such large size using the SaPSeP method.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Feb. 2017, LANGMUIR, 33(6) (6), 1541 - 1546, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- We have reported cellulose particles with a spongy structure that we prepared by the solvent releasing method (SRM) from cellulose droplets composed of cellulose, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumchrolide ([Bmim] Cl), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The spongy structure collapsed as the medium evaporated, resulting in dense cellulose particles. In this study, we encapsulated the hydrophilic and hydrophobic fluorescent substances in these particles to investigate the use of such particles in potential applications that require encapsulating of substances (e.g., drug delivery). Wet cellulose particles retained their spongy structure in both hydrophobic and hydrophilic media. When the spongy cellulose particles were dispersed in a solution containing nonvolatile solutes, these solutes were driven into the cellulose particles as media evaporated. Subsequently, the cellulose particles collapsed and encapsulated the nonvolatile solutes. Regardless of whether the solute was hydrophilic or hydrophobic, the encapsulation efficiency exceeds 80%. The maximum loading reflected the saturated solubility of solute in solution that filled the cellulose beads. Moreover, the encapsulated solute was released by dispersing the cellulose beads in the solvent, and the rate of release of the encapsulated solute could be controlled by coating the cellulose beads with a conventional polymer.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jan. 2017, ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES, 9(1) (1), 944 - 949, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- When encapsulated n-hexadecane (HD) in polymer microcapsules is used for heat storage material, two problems that are the decreasing of latent heat (J/g-capsules, J/g-HD) and the generating of supercooling (Delta T-s:degrees C) should be overcome. In previous studies, it was suggested that more polar polymer capsule shell and larger particle size were useful to improve the two problems, respectively. Based on the idea, first, 6mm- sized, polar poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (PEGDM) particles with encapsulated HD were prepared by microsuspension conventional radical polymerization (ms CRP) with Self-assembly of PhaseSeparated Polymer (SaPSeP) method that the authors proposed. As expected, the heat of solidification of the encapsulated HD (Delta H-s* = 220 J/g-HD) was almost the same as that of pure HD (Delta H-s(degrees) = 230 J/g-HD) but the supercooling was still observed (Delta T-s = 10 degrees C). Larger PEGDM particles (11-and 42-mu m in diameter) prepared by the ms CRP "included" HD in the inside, but did not "encapsulate" it ideally, because they had porous structures. Ideal large PEGDM microcapsules (31 mu m in diameter) with "encapsulated" HD were successfully prepared by utilizing microsuspension activators generated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerizations (ms AGET ATRP), which is one of controlled/living radical polymerization. They had excellent heat storage abilities (Delta H-s = 105 J/g-capsules; Delta H-s* = 210 J/gHD;Delta T-s -6 degrees C). (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

- We report a new paradigm for the synthesis of metal organic framework (MOP) crystals with controlled thickness by utilizing interfacial self-assembly of frameworks on metal ion-doped polymer precursors. The approach involves preparation of metal ion-doped polymer precursors through ion-exchange reactions and synthesis of MOF crystals by immersion into solutions containing organic ligands. The thickness of the resulting MOF crystals can be readily controlled by the number of doped-metal ions in the polymer precursors. MOF crystals could be very important and potentially useful for applications, and the present approach based on interfacial self-assembly could significantly advance MOF crystal preparation techniques.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, May 2016, CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN, 16(5) (5), 2472 - 2476, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) particles with a single-hollow structure are prepared by suspension polymerization from monomer droplets consisting of the hydrophobic ionic liquid monomer [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and n-butyl acetate containing dissolved poly(n-butyl methacrylate). The obtained PIL hollow particles' shells can be changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by anion exchange using a LiBr/ethanol solution. In the case of hydrophilic PIL hollow particles, the water-soluble fluorescent materials can penetrate into the hollow structure, whereas in the case of hydrophobic PIL hollow particles, penetration of the fluorescent materials is restricted. In addition, the encapsulated water-soluble materials can be preserved into the hollow part by changing the shell property of the PIL particle encapsulated with the water-soluble materials from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Mar. 2016, LANGMUIR, 32(10) (10), 2331 - 2337, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Seeded dispersion polymerization of an ionic liquid monomer ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide) ([MTMA][TFSA]) was carried out in the presence of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA), and poly(t-butyl methacrylate) (PtBMA) as seed particles in a methanol/water mixture. For PMMA and PEMA seed particles, composite particles with poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) were obtained. In contrast, for PtBMA seed particles, secondary nucleated PIL particles were formed and no PtBMA/PIL composite particles were obtained. These results were also predicted by theoretical consideration based on the spreading coefficients calculated from the interfacial tensions. Moreover, we showed that anion exchange of the PIL-core in the PIL/cross-liked PMMA core-shell composite particles from TFSA to Br and FeCl4 anions can be used to modify the properties of only the core component of the composite particles.ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2016, RSC ADVANCES, 6(37) (37), 31574 - 31579, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The influence of the structure of ionic liquids on the crystallinity of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)(3)) prepared by a sol-gel process with aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OPri)(3)) in imidazolium-based ionic liquids was investigated. When Al(OH)(3) was prepared in ionic liquids having long alkyl chains, such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts and 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium salts, highly crystalline products were obtained. In contrast, Al(OH)(3) obtained using the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium salt was an amorphous material, indicating that hydrophobic interaction of the alkyl tail of the imidazolium cation of the ionic liquid strongly affects the crystallinity of sol-gel products and the local structure of the ionic liquid. Moreover, the crystallinity of Al(OH)(3) prepared in ionic liquids increased relative to the amount of additional water (ionic liquid/water = 1.28/2.0-3.5/0.2, w/w). In the case of addition of a small amount of water (ionic liquid/water = 3.5/0.2, w/w), the product was amorphous. These results implied that the presence of an ionic liquid and a sufficient amount of water was crucial for the successful synthesis of sol-gel products with high crystallinity. H-1 NMR analyses revealed a shift of the peak associated with the imidazolium cation upon addition of water, which suggested that the molecular orientation of the ionic liquid was similar to that of a micelle.ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2015, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 17(28) (28), 18705 - 18709, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

The PSPAA/PMMAPVP composite particles were prepared by seeded dispersion polymerization of MMA using PVP as stabilizer in the presence of PS seed particles stabilized by PAA. We also demonstrated the facile formation of the colloidal chains via hydrogen bonding interaction between different stabilizers.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jan. 2015, LANGMUIR, 31(2) (2), 674 - 678, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Emulsion polymerization of ionic liquid monomer [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([MTMA][TFSA]) was performed. In the presence of potassium persulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate as the ionic initiator and emulsifier, respectively, the system was colloidally unstable and coagulated, owing to anion exchange between the ionic liquid monomer and ionic emulsifier. When a nonionic initiator and emulsifier were used (2,2'-azobis 2-methyl-[1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethylpropionamide]; VA-080, polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate; Tween 80, respectively), a stable emulsion was obtained without coagulation, and the zeta potential of the prepared particles exhibited a high positive charge. Utilizing this surface charge, poly([MTMA][TFSA]) (PIL) particles were then successfully prepared via emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization without an ionic initiator. Moreover, the contact angle of water on the PIL emulsion film (emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization) was found to be similar to 70 degrees (static measurement), indicating that the surface of the PIL film was relatively hydrophobic. The retreating contact angle (similar to 28 degrees) also indicated water wettability. However, when water was dropped on the PIL film just after the water already on the surface had completely retreated, the PIL film was instantaneously hydrophobic again. This result suggests that responsiveness of the PIL emulsion film was switchable between hydrophobic (in air) and hydrophilic (in water).AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Apr. 2014, LANGMUIR, 30(12) (12), 3406 - 3412, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Cellulose is a ubiquitous natural fiber used in various industrial materials and applications. We prepared micron-sized cellulose particles by the solvent releasing method (SRM) in which cellulose-[Bmim]Cl-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) droplets are dispersed in hexadecane (HD) containing dissolved surfactant. The dispersion is then poured into a large amount of 1-butanol. Since 1-butanol is miscible with HD, [Bmim]Cl, and DMF but not with cellulose, the cellulose particles precipitate out. FOR and H-1 NMR analyses confirmed that this technique precipitated cellulose and completely removed [Bmim]Cl and DMF from the cellulose-[Bmim]Cl-DMF droplets. Interestingly, the obtained cellulose particles were almost the same size as the original droplets (cellulose, 7 wt%), indicating a microporous structure of the cellulose particles with a large medium content. Although the microporous structure collapsed as the medium evaporated, it was maintained by a freeze-drying technique. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

- Large polystyrene particles stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (PSPVP)-core/small silica particles (SiO2)-corona raspberry-like composite particles were successfully prepared by heterocoagulation technique utilizing hydrogen bonding interaction between the pyrrolidone group of PVP and the silanol group of SiO2. The coverage of the SiO2 corona particles on the PSPVP core particle could be controlled by changing the pH of dispersions and the molecular weight of PVP. Moreover, heterocoagulation of large poly(methyl methacrylate) particles stabilized by PVP and small SiO2 particles was also carried out, resulting in formation of raspberry-like composite particles. These results suggested that raspberry-like particles composed of various polymer particles and inorganic particles could be prepared by heterocoagulation technique utilizing hydrogen bonding interaction.Japan Society of Colour Material, 2014, Journal of the Japan Society of Colour Material, 87(10) (10), 356 - 360, Japanese
- In this study, reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion polymerization using a novel type of amphiphilic RAFT agent was investigated. The novel amphiphilic RAFT agent has a specific chemical structure in which a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) chain is directly bonded to the "Z-group" position, and not the leaving group (R group), of the thiocarbonylthio group (RAFT group). As a result, the RAFT groups are localized at the interface of the water/monomer droplets (polymer particles) throughout the polymerization, unlike with a conventional amphiphilic RAFT agent. Polystyrene (PS) particles with a broad molecular weight distribution and 69% degree of livingness were successfully prepared using the novel RAFT agent in a manner similar to that for a conventional RAFT system. Notably, after the completion of polymerization, the RAFT groups could be easily removed from the dispersed PS particles via treatment with an excess of potassium persulfate, because the RAFT groups only exist near the particle surfaces.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jan. 2014, MACROMOLECULES, 47(1) (1), 130 - 136, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Microencapsulated ionic liquids represent a novel type of material with high potential for various applications in chemical synthesis, catalysis or separation processes. We present a detailed morphological analysis of this material by means of two imaging techniques, i.e., scanning transmission X-ray microspectroscopy (STXM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). While TEM can be utilized only in the dry state, STXM offers access to high-resolution imaging in liquid surroundings. In either case prolonged illumination leads to degradation of the stabilizing polymer. We discuss potential scenarios, e.g., formation of perforations within the polymer shell, to explain the experimental findings.ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2014, RSC ADVANCES, 4(7) (7), 3272 - 3277, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Styrene (hydrophobic monomer), methyl methacrylate (MMA, hydrophilic monomer, almost 100 times more soluble in water than styrene) and nonionic emulsifier are often used in general emulsion polymerizations in industrial production. To clarify the effect of stirring for 100 min at 70 degrees C before starting emulsion polymerization with a nonionic emulsifier (polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether, E911) and potassium persulfate as the initiator for the particle formation, the emulsion homopolymerization of styrene and MMA was carried out at different stirring rates (0-500 r.p.m.) at 70 degrees C. Immediately before the start of the polymerization, in the case of styrene, partitioning of components in the system nearly reached an equilibrium state at 500 r.p.m., whereas the system was in a nonequilibrium state at 240 r.p.m. In the case of MMA, the system nearly reached an equilibrium state even at 240 r.p.m. Polystyrene particles were obtained as similar to 100-nm-sized spherical particles at 240 r.p.m. and as similar to 1-mu m-sized 'bur-like' nonspherical particles at 500 r.p.m., whereas poly(MMA) particles were similar to 100-nm-sized and almost spherical at both stirring rates. Monomer polarity strongly affected the partitioning of the monomer to the aqueous phase and the nonionic emulsifier to the monomer phase before starting the emulsion polymerization, resulting in the differences in particle formation and the incorporation of nonionic emulsifier inside the polymer particles.

- Large polystyrene particles stabilized by poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (L-PSPAA) (as the core) and small polystyrene particles stabilized by poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) (S-PSPVP) (as the corona) were successfully used to prepare raspberry-like particles by a heterocoagulation technique utilizing the hydrogen bonding interaction between PAA and PVP. The coverage of L-PSPAA by S-PSPVP could be controlled by adding PVP homopolymer to the L-PSPAA dispersion and by changing the molecular weight of the stabilizers. Moreover, the heterocoagulation of large poly(methyl methacrylate) particles stabilized by PAA (L-PMMA(PAA)) and S-PSPVP particles was also accomplished, resulting in the formation of L-PMMA(PAA)-core/S-PSPVP-corona raspberry-like composite particles. These results suggested that the raspberry-like particles composed of various polymer particles could be formed by the heterocoagulation technique utilizing the hydrogen bonding interaction.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jan. 2013, LANGMUIR, 29(2) (2), 554 - 560, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Encapsulation of ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)amide ([Hmim][TFSA]), was carried out by microsuspension polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) utilizing the self-assembling of phase-separated polymer method, which had been proposed by us for the preparation of hollow polymer particles. After the optimization of the polymerization conditions, ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles, which have smooth surface morphology and a single hollow structure, were successfully prepared. Encapsulation efficiency of [Hmim][TFSA] was significantly improved from about 20-70 % by changing the shell polymer from polyEGDM homopolymer to poly(EGDM-butyl methacrylate) (50/50, w/w) copolymer, which was likely to have relatively low affinity for [Hmim][TFSA]. Additionally, ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles displaying ionic conductivity were successfully prepared using triethylene glycol dimethacrylate as divinyl monomer instead of EGDM.SPRINGER, Jan. 2013, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 291(1) (1), 45 - 51, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Micrometer-sized, hemispherical polystyrene (PS) particles were successfully prepared by microsuspension polymerization of homogeneous styrene/hexadecane (HD) droplets dispersed in polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether (Emulgen 931) aqueous solution, followed by rapid removal of HD from formed PS/HD particles with a "Janus" structure. It was important for the formation of the morphology of Janus particles in thermodynamically stable state to carry out the polymerization slowly. The formation of by-product small PS particles by emulsion polymerization was suppressed by the additions of CuCl2 as a water-soluble inhibitor and NaCl to decrease the solubility of styrene in the aqueous phase.SPRINGER, Jan. 2013, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 291(1) (1), 71 - 76, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Composite gel particles consisting of 2-phenylethyl methacrylate (PhEMA)-vinyl toluene (VT) copolymer (P(PhEMA-VT)) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared by seeded polymerization of MMA in the presence of P(PhEMA-VT)/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide ([Bmim] [TFSA], IL) gel particles, in which P(PhEMA-VT) exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase transition behavior in IL. The particles obtained at 70 degrees C (above the LCST) adopted a phase-separated snowman-like shape and clearly exhibited volume-phase transition behavior in which the P(PhEMA-VT) phase reduced in size and the PMMA phase increased in size above the LCST. The P(PhEMA-VT) phase exhibited LCST-type volume-phase transition behavior and separation of IL occurred. In contrast, the PMMA phase was swollen with IL separated from the P(PhEMA-VT) phase, in which the PMMA phase could act as a preserver of IL. Interestingly, the composite gel particles exhibited similar volume-phase transition behavior in both air and vacuum without leakage of IL from the gel particles, which should be free-standing thermosensitive gel particles.ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2013, SOFT MATTER, 9(6) (6), 1761 - 1765, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Emulsion polymerization of styrene with a nonionic emulsifier (polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether, E911) and potassium persulfate as initiator was carried out at different stirring rates (240-500 rpm) at 70 degrees C, which was started by the addition of initiator after stirring for 100 min at 70 degrees C. Resulting polystyrene (PS) particles at 240 rpm were 70-nm-sized, spherical particles and incorporated only 5 wt.% of total E911. On the other hand, particles at 500 rpm were 1-mu m-sized, nonspherical particles, which were formed by coagulation of small particles, and incorporated above 70 wt.% of E911 in the inside. Before starting emulsion polymerization, E911 and styrene, respectively, transferred from an aqueous phase to a styrene phase and from the styrene phase to the aqueous phase (water and micelles) faster at 500 rpm than 240 rpm. At 240 rpm, there were a lot of almost empty micelles (ca. 5 nm) in the aqueous phase, on the other hand at 500 rpm, 70 wt.% of total E911 transferred to the styrene phase and the micelles were swollen with much monomer (ca. 40 nm) even if the number was smaller. Stirring prior to starting the emulsion polymerization greatly affected partitionings of monomer to the aqueous phase and the nonionic emulsifier to the styrene phase, resulting in the differences in the particle formation and the incorporation of the nonionic emulsifier inside PS particles.SPRINGER, Apr. 2012, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 290(6) (6), 561 - 567, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Particle formation during the initial stages of emulsifier-free organotellurium-mediated living radical emulsion polymerization (emulsion TERP) of styrene at 60 degrees C was investigated at two stirring rates (220 and 1000 r.p.m.), in which the styrene phase floated as a layer on an aqueous phase at 220 r.p.m. or became dispersed as droplets at 1000 r.p.m. A water-soluble TERP agent, poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)-methyltellanyl (PMAA(30)-TeMe) and a water-soluble thermal initiator, 4,4'-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), at alkaline pH were used. The control/livingness was better at 1000 r.p.m. than at 220 r.p.m., and the particle size distribution was also affected by the stirring rate: both nanometer-sized and submicrometer-sized particles were observed at 220 r.p.m., and mainly nanometer-sized particles were observed at 1000 r.p.m. Because the percentage of PMAA(30)-TeMe consumed in the initial stage was much higher at 1000 r.p.m. than at 220 r.p.m., self-assembly nucleation preferentially occurred at 1000 r.p.m., resulting in nanometer-sized particles and good control/livingness. Stirring at 1000 r.p.m. only in the initial stage of the emulsion TERP followed by 220 r.p.m. induced good control/livingness and the formation of mainly nanometer-sized particles. It is concluded that a high stirring rate in the initial stage is important for the emulsion TERP of styrene to obtain good control/livingness and to control the particle formation mechanism.

- The effect of stirring rate on control/livingness and particle formation in emulsifier-free organotellurium-mediated living radical emulsion polymerization (emulsion TERP) of styrene at 60 degrees C was investigated at two stirring rates (220 and 1000 rpm), in which styrene phase floated as a layer on an aqueous phase at 220 rpm or dispersed as droplets at 1000 rpm. A water-soluble TERP agent, poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)-methyltellanyl (PMAA(30)-TeMe) (degree of polymerization of PMAA, 30), and a water-soluble thermal initiator, 4,4'-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), at high pH were used. The polymerization rate was not affected by the stirring rate, but the control/livingness was significantly improved when the stirring rate was increased from 220 to 1000 rpm. This difference would be caused by a larger amount of consumed PMAA(30)-TeMe in the aqueous phase and higher monomer concentration inside polymerizing particles as polymerization loci at 1000 rpm than at 220 rpm. The stirring rate also affected the particle size distribution: both nanometer-sized and submicrometer-sized particles were prepared at 220 rpm, and mainly nanometer-sized particles were prepared at 1000 rpm. From these results, it is concluded that the stirring rate is an important parameter in emulsion TERP to obtain good control/livingness and control particle formation.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jan. 2011, MACROMOLECULES, 44(2) (2), 263 - 268, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methacrylic acid with nonionic emulsifier and potassium persulfate as initiator gave nonspherical copolymer particles having uneven surface. The formation was based on the coagulation of byproduct nano-sized (ca. 35 nm) particles, which were formed throughout the copolymerization until monomer phase disappeared, onto main submicron-sized (234 similar to 445 nm) particles.WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2010, MACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA, 288, 33 - 40, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings
- Hollow particles were prepared by the treatment of styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer particles with alkali/cooling method. The influences of stirring position (in aqueous phase or at the interface of O/W) and stirring speed (90, 110 and 240 r/min) on the formation of hollow particles were investigated. It is found that the soft stirring in aqueous phase at 90 r/min leads to the formation of monohollow particles, while the violent stirring at the interface of O/W and 240 r/min gives non-hollow products. In contrast, the weak stirring in aqueous phase at 110 r/min results in sterically heterogeneous dispersion of methacrylic acid-rich regions within the original particles, and hence the formation of multihollow particles. Further investigation indicates that the change of stirring efficiency provides a way to tune the diffusion behavior of monomer styrene, and therefore influences the distribution of methacrylic acid units in the original particles as well as the morphology of the treated particles.JOURNAL OF CENTRAL SOUTH UNIV TECHNOLOGY, Aug. 2009, JOURNAL OF CENTRAL SOUTH UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, 16(4) (4), 563 - 568, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The thermal properties of n-hexadecane (HD) encapsulated in crosslinked capsule particles containing a water and/or air domain were studied from the viewpoint of heat-storage applications. The capsule particles were prepared by the microsuspension polymerization of divinylbenzene at 70 degrees C with the self-assembling of phase-separated polymer method that we developed. In the differential scanning calorimetric thermograms, pure HD had a single solidification temperature (T-s) peak at 15 degrees C, whereas the encapsulated HD containing a water domain had two peaks at 6 and 1 degrees C. That is, the encapsulated HD containing the water domain required a longer time and lower temperature to complete the solidification than pure HD, which was negative for heat-storage applications. However, once the particles were dried and the water domain was replaced with air, the problem with the partially lowered T, improved. The air domain was also found in the encapsulated HD core after solidification because of the shrinkage of HD. The presence of the air domain did not affect the thermal stability of the encapsulated HD. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

- Seeded emulsion polymerizations of styrene using polystyrene (PS) seed particles with incorporated nonionic emulsifier were carried out at 40 and 70 A degrees C to investigate the influence of temperature during the polymerization process including the swelling step of the seed particles with monomer on the formation of multihollow PS particles. An increase in the temperature during the polymerization process caused an increase in the rate of coalescence (i.e., the degree of coalescence at any given time) of the small water domains in the inside. After the coalescence proceeded excessively, the water domains were eventually discharged from the particles to the medium, resulting in nonhollow particles. The results show that it is important for the preparation of the multihollow PS particles to control the coalescence of a lot of small water domains inside the seed particles with the incorporated nonionic emulsifier, and strongly support the formation mechanism previously proposed.SPRINGER, Mar. 2009, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 287(3) (3), 251 - 257, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- A novel quantitative method using isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC) for the estimation of the distribution of carboxyl groups within polymer particles has been proposed. The method has been employed to clarify the difference in the distribution between the particles prepared by batch emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methacrylic acid under inefficient and efficient stirring conditions. At inefficient stirring, monomer was floating as a layer on the aqueous medium, whereas at efficient stirring, the monomer phase was dispersed as droplets. Under inefficient stirring, methacrylic acid (MAA) polymerized faster than styrene (S) due to a slower diffusion rate of S than MAA into the aqueous medium, while under efficient stirring, S and MAA copolymerized at similar rates. ITC measurement showed that under inefficient stirring, the carboxyl groups were distributed mainly in the center of the particles, and their number decreased toward the surface. On the other hand, under efficient stirring, carboxyl groups were distributed homogeneously inside the particle.WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2009, MACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA, 281, 135 - 141, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings
- The influence of the methacrylic acid (MAA) content (0-10 mol %) on the incorporation of polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether (Emulgen 911, HLB 13.7) nonionic emulsifier inside polymer particles during emulsion copolymerization of styrene (S) and MAA was investigated. The amount of incorporated emulsifier after centrifugal washing with 2-propanol to remove adsorbed emulsifier from the surfaces was directly measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and H-1 NMR. The level of incorporation increased with increasing MAA content and reached 74% of the total amount of emulsifier at 10 mol % MAA. At lower MAA contents (0-3 mol %), the particle size distribution was bimodal because of formation of new particles by secondary nucleation. However, only limited secondary nucleation occurred at higher MAA contents (6-10 mol %), and monodisperse particles were thus obtained.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Jan. 2009, LANGMUIR, 25(1) (1), 101 - 106, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

The total surface area of the holes per particle increased with an increase in the SDS concentration. At [SDS] = 10 mM, "flower-like" non-spherical particles were formed.SPRINGER, Nov. 2008, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 286(13) (13), 1561 - 1567, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Emulsion copolymerizations of styrene and methacrylic acid with polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether nonionic emulsifiers having various hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values (13.7, Emulgen 911; 15.5, Emulgen 920; 17.2, Emulgen 931) were performed. The incorporation behavior of the nonionic emulsifiers, comprising polydisperse poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) chain lengths, inside the particles was investigated. At the completion of the polymerization, the incorporated percentage of the lowest HLB emulsifier was 61%, much higher than that of the highest HLB one (10%). In both polymerizations, the amounts of the incorporated emulsifiers increased with conversion, and shorter PEO chain (i.e., lower molecular weight) components were predominantly incorporated over longer PEO chain components.

- The influence of a water domain formed in n-hexadecane (HD) core in cross-linked polymer capsule particles on the thermal properties of encapsulated HD was studied from the view point of heat storage application. The capsule particles were prepared by micro-suspension polymerization of divinylbenzene at 70 degrees C utilizing the Self-assembling of Phase-Separated Polymer (SaPSeP) method that the authors proposed. The water domain was not observed for particles taken just after the polymerization and kept at 70 C, but it was gradually formed with an increase of the size during cooling process from 70 degrees C to room temperature. In differential scanning calorimetric thermograms, pure HD had a single peak because of solidification (T-s) at 15 degrees C, and the encapsulated HD containing the water domain had two peaks of T-s1 and T-s2, at 6 and 1 degrees C, respectively. That is, the encapsulated HD containing the water domain required longer time and lower temperature to complete the solidification than the pure HD, which is negative for its application. However, the lower temperature-side peak at T (s2) gradually disappeared with an increase of capsule particle diameter, which seems to be based on the decrease of total interfacial area between the water domains and encapsulated HD in the capsule particles.SPRINGER, Jun. 2008, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 286(6-7) (6-7), 753 - 759, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- From the viewpoint of heat storage application, encapsulation of n-hexadecane (HD) was carried out by microsuspension copolymerizations of divinylbenzene (DVB) and acrylic monomers (butyl acrylate, BA; ethyl acrylate, EA) utilizing the self-assembling of phase-separated polymer (SaPSeP) method proposed by the authors. The heat of solidification (H-s) of encapsulated HD in the micron-sized, cross-linked particles was determined by the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). H-s of the encapsulated HD in poly(DVB) particles was much lower than that of pure HD, but it was increased with BA or EA content copolymerized up to that of pure HD. Such an influence of encapsulation on the H-s was discussed.SPRINGER, Feb. 2008, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 286(2) (2), 217 - 223, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Emulsion copolymerizations of styrene and methacrylic acid (MAA) with various nonionic emulsifiers having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) range of 13.7-17.2 were performed to clarify the influence of emulsification state on polymerization. The emulsification state with a lower-HLB value emulsifier was worse than that with a higher one. In the lowest HLB value, MAA was predominantly polymerized over styrene in the early stage of the copolymerization, resulting in predominant ( heterogeneous) distribution of MAA units in the inside of the final polymer particles. In the higher-HLB emulsifiers, styrene and MAA were simultaneously copolymerized, resulting in a homogeneous MAA distribution. The percentage of incorporation of the nonionic emulsifier inside the particles was the highest (49% based on the total amount of the emulsifier) in the lowest HLB, whereas it was 1% in the highest HLB.SPRINGER, Dec. 2007, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 285(15) (15), 1755 - 1761, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The compressive strengths of micron-sized, cross-linked poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) particles synthesized by conventional radical copolymerization (70 degrees C and nitroxide (TEMPO) -mediated radical copolymerization (125 degrees C in aqueous micro-suspension have been measured. In the conventional system, the breaking energies and the compressive strengths of the particles (after removal of unreacted monomer) remained approximately constant from low to high conversion, whereas in the NMP system, both quantities increased close to linearly with conversion. The results suggest that the network formation is more homogeneous in the NMP system than in the conventional system. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

- Poly (divinylbenzene) (PDVB) particles with encapsulated n-hexadecane (HD) were prepared by micro-suspension polymerization using the "self-assembling of phase separated polymer (SaPSeP) " method proposed by the present authors. The degree of supercooling (Delta T-s) and the heat of solidification (H-s) of HD in the capsule particles were determined by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) using aqueous dispersions. The supercooling and marked decreasing of H-s of HD in the capsule particles were observed. The influence of the size and hydrophilicity of the capsule, on Delta T-s and H-s of encapsulated HD was discussed.SOC POLYMER SCIENCE JAPAN, 2007, KOBUNSHI RONBUNSHU, 64(3) (3), 171 - 176, Japanese[Refereed]Scientific journal

- A novel technique to estimate the distribution state of carboxyl groups within submicron-sized, carboxylated polymer particles was proposed. For the purpose, carboxyl groups in two kinds of butyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer emulsion, which were prepared by emulsion copolymerizations with different monomer addition methods, were titrated by isothermal titration calorimetry with an extremely small amount (ca. 2 mg) of the particles.SPRINGER, Aug. 2006, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 284(11) (11), 1319 - 1323, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Glass transition temperature (Tg) of submicron-sized, carboxylated polymer particles dispersed in aqueous media, which were prepared by emulsion copolymerization of styrene, iso-butyl methacrylate, or methyl methacrylate with methacrylic acid, was measured at alkali or acidic pH region with a power compensation-type high sensitive differential scanning calorimeter. The Tg of relatively hydrophilic polymer particles was obviously decreased by the neutralization of the carboxyl groups with KOH, whereas that of hydrophobic polymer particles was not changed though water was absorbed therein. These results indicate that water absorption state, which means not only the amount of water absorption but also the heterogeneity of the ionized carboxylated polymer particles, markedly depends on the hydrophilicity of their base polymers. This strongly supports the formation mechanism of multihollow particles by the stepwise alkali/acid or the alkali/cooling treatments of carboxylated polymer particles proposed by the authors.SPRINGER, Apr. 2006, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 284(7) (7), 802 - 806, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Effect of stirring on incorporation of nonionic emulsifier inside poly(styrene-methacrylic acid) particlesThe incorporation behavior of nonionic emulsifier inside carboxylated polymer particles in emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methacrylic acid was studied using Emulgen 911 (polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether). Batchwise copolymerizations were carried out using different stirring modes. The level of incorporation of emulsifier was quantified using GPC with refractive index detection, and the particle size distributions were studied by TEM. The mode of stirring markedly influenced the occurrence of secondary nucleation and the amount of incorporation.2006, Polymer Preprints, Japan, 55(1) (1), 488, JapaneseInternational conference proceedings
- Preparation of cross-linked polymer particles encapsulating n-hexadecane by SaPSeP methodRecently, we proposed the technique to prepare about micron-sized, monodisperse, cross-linked polymer particles having one hollow by suspension polymerization for DVB/toluene droplets dissolving polystyrene (PS) and benzoyl peroxide, and suggested the formation mechanism. When the droplets did not contain PS, no hollow particle was obtained. The polymer dissolved in the droplets was needed to promote phase separation of PDVB prepared during the polymerization. The method is named the "self assembling of phase separation polymer (SaPSeP)" method. Moreover, hollow particles were obtained with no PS using nonsolvent of PDVB, ex. n-hexadecane, in place of toluene. In a series of this study, the PDVB/HD particles having a water-domain were observed. In this research, in order to clarify the diffusion mechanism of water and formation mechanism more in detail, we will try to produce PDVB/HD particles having hollow structure by SaPSeP method.2005, Polymer Preprints, Japan, 54(1) (1), 1083, JapaneseInternational conference proceedings
- The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of three kinds of poly(methyl methacrylate)-based copolymer emulsions having wide polymer compositions, which were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerizations of methyl methacryalate with ethyl acrylate, n-buthyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid, were measured with a power compensation-type highly sensitive differential scanning calorimeter. The Tg values of the copolymers in their emulsion state (Tg(E)) were always lower than those in their dry states (Tg(D)), and the difference between Tg(E) and Tg(D) increased with an increase in copolymer hydrophilicities.SPRINGER, Aug. 2004, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 282(10) (10), 1150 - 1154, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Estimation of heterogeneous surface structure of blend polymer film consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers in water by atomic force microscopeSurface structures of films cast from pyridine solutions of polystyrene (PS), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), and their mixture (PS/PHEMA = 1/1, w/w) in air and water were examined with atomic force microscopy (AFM) using force volume mode. The AFM measurement was a useful tool to clarify that the PS/PHEMA blend film in water had a heterogeneous surface consisting of a hard PS matrix and soft PHEMA domains.SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 2004, AQUEOUS POLYMER DISPERSIONS, 124, 94 - 97, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings
- Surface structure of submicron-sized poly(styrene/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [P(S/HEMA)] composite particles produced by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization was estimated with atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM force curves were measured in water at different points of the particle surface; it was clarified that the particle surface had a heterogeneous structure consisting of hard and soft parts, which must be, respectively, based on styrene-rich and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-rich parts.SPRINGER-VERLAG, Jun. 2003, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 281(6) (6), 569 - 574, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Cationic nanoparticles were prepared from submicron-sized styrene-butyl acrylate-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate terpolymer (59.2/20.8/20.0, molar ratio) particles in a polyoxyethylene nonylphenylether nonionic emulsifier aqueous solution at pH 2.0 above 150 degreesC.SPRINGER-VERLAG, Feb. 2003, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 281(2) (2), 168 - 172, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The adsorption behavior of poly(oxyethylene) nonyl phenyl ether nonionic emulsifier molecules onto polystyrene (PS) and styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer [P(SMAA)] particles dispersed in D2O was evaluated by in situ H-1 NMR measurements at room temperature. The resonance due to the protons of the emulsifier molecules was only observed. Normalized NMR integrals of the resonance due to the protons of hydrophobic groups (nonyl and phenyl groups) and the hydrophilic group, poly(oxyethylene) chain, at a certain concentration of the emulsifier decreased with an increase in the total surface area of the PS particles dispersed in the system. The decrease for the hydrophobic groups was much larger than that for the hydrophilic groups. In the dispersion system of P(S-MAA) particles, ionized carboxyl groups at the particle surface decreased the amount of the emulsifier adsorbed.SPRINGER-VERLAG, Nov. 2002, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 280(11) (11), 1053 - 1056, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The variation of the morphology of a carboxylated polymer film cast from tetrahydrofuran solution, in which styrene/methacrylic acid copolymer particles produced by emulsion copolymerization were dissolved, before and after alkali treatment at temperatures higher than the glass-transition temperature was observed with a scanning electron microscope.

This result provides important evidence for the formation mechanism of the multihollow structure in submicron-sized, carboxylated polymer emulsion particles by the stepwise alkali/acid method and the alkali/cooling method which the authors proposed.SPRINGER-VERLAG, Jun. 2002, COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE, 280(6) (6), 574 - 578, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

A facile and novel approach of preparing monodisperse polystyrene (PS) particles having a "cylindrical" shape was discovered. The proposed synthetic method involved dispersion polymerization of the spherical PS particles stirred in a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) aqueous solution for several hours using a magnetic stirrer. In the presence of PVP, the spherical PS particles deformed into cylindrical shapes following stirring; however, the particles did not deform in the absence of PVP. The deformation rate of the particles was affected by the molecular weight of dissolved PVP. This stirring method is not only highly efficient and provides high yield, but is also applicable to other materials such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Moreover, cylindrical polystyrene particles were applied as a particulate stabilizer to prepare a Pickering emulsion of decane (oil)/water. Unlike the spherical particles that are typically used in Pickering emulsions, the cylindrical particles enhanced the emulsion's stability (up to 1 year). Furthermore, the cylindrical particulate stabilizer enabled a stable emulsion across a wide range of pH. Notably, unique adsorption behavior of the cylindrical particles on an oil droplet was observed, in which the cylindrical particles connected head to head to form a network that acted as a cage around the oil droplet.

After the polymerization, aq. NH3 was subsequently added to the dispersion as a catalyst for sol-gel process, resulting in formation of P(EGDM-MMA) particles with encapsulated SiO2 particles. The sol-gel process proceeded in the water domains and SiO2 particles were formed only inside the capsules. The morphology of SiO2 particles can be controlled by the coalescence behavior of the domains. Moreover, polymer capsules with Pd particles and a Pd complex and the capsules with Au particles were also prepared. Obtained capsules acted as a catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling and/or reduced reaction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol with NaBH4.Competitive research funding

The colloidal structure can be controlled by changing the surface area ratio of the Janus particles such as dendritic and grafting colloidal structures. It was clarified that the distribution of the association number was in a good agreement with the theoretical curve calculated from step-growth polymerization theory. We also demonstrated preparation of colloidal structure using non-spherical particles. We unexpectedly discovered a facile and novel approach to prepare monodisperse polystyrene (PS) particles having a “cylindrical” shape. Notably, unique adsorption behavior of the cylindrical particles on an oil droplet was observed, in which the cylindrical particles connected head to head to form a network (colloidal structure) that acted as a cage around the oil droplet.Competitive research funding

We estimated the formation mechanism as following: the encapsulated small particles consisted of poly EGDM, and were formed via precipitation polymerization inside the droplets in competition with formation of the shell. Because the small particles coagulated in the capsules owing to the phase separation of the PS, a toluene/n-hexadecane solution containing an oil-soluble surfactant (polydimethylsiloxane-based macroazoinitiator) was used instead of the LC/PS mixture. Thus, “rattle-like” capsules were successfully prepared using a simple polymerization process. The small particles could move in the capsule and responsed the electric field because the particles having -9 mV of zeta potential.Competitive research funding

Moreover, we showed that anion exchange of the composite particles can be used to modify the properties of only the PIL component of the composite particles. PIL particles with a single-hollow are also prepared by suspension polymerization from monomer droplets consisting of the ionic liquid monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and n-butyl acetate. The obtained particles can be changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by anion exchange. Moreover, Janus particles with two hemispheres having different stabilizers, a polystyrene (PS) phase stabilized by poly(acrylic acid) and a PMMA phase stabilized by poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), were able to be synthesized. The facile formation of the colloidal chains via hydrogen bonding interaction between different stabilizers were demonstrated.Competitive research funding

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles containing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were successfully prepared by miniemulsion polymerization of rGO-dispersed methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer utilizing the block copolymer as stabilizer to disperse rGO in the monomer phase. The block copolymer was consisted of ionic liquid polymer, poly(1-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-3-butylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide) (P[Mbim][TFSA]) and PMMA, the concept being that the MMA units impart solubility in the monomer droplets whereas the ionic liquid units act as adsorption sites for rGO.

The PPhEMA phase exhibited LCST-type volume-phase transition behavior and separation of IL occurred above the LCST. In contrast, the PMMA phase was swollen with IL separated from the PPhEMA phase. Interestingly, the composite gel particles exhibited similar volume-phase transition behavior in both air and vacuum without leaking of IL from gel particles, which should be free-standing thermosensitive gel particles.Competitive research funding

The mechanism for the hollow polymer particles was based on the Self-assembling of Phase Separated Polymer at an interface with aqueous media, which was named the SaPSeP method. Recently, when the SaPSeP method was applied in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), it was found that a single hole was formed in the shell of the hollow PS/PDVB composite particles. In this research, in order to clarify such a strange phenomenon, preparations of capsule particles were examined in detail. It was clarified that the phase separation in the droplets in the early stage of the polymerization was one of key factors for the formation of the single hole. Hole was most likely formed as a result of reduced microgel adsorption at oil-water interface domains of high SDS content. Moreover, we succeeded in preparing submicrometer-sized hollow PS particles, microcapsules containing curing agent for epoxy resin, and PDVB particles with encapsulated titanium oxide or n-hexadecane (HD)by micro-suspension polymerization utilizing the SaPSeP method. HD is useful for heat storage materials. The encapsulation of HD has many advantages that provide large heat transfer area and control the volume change of the heat storage materials. However, there were some problems in encapsulated HD such as decrease of the heat of solidification and supercooling. In this research, the problem in the application of the polymer particles with encapsulated HD as heat storage material was improved by the copolymerization of hydrophilic acrylic monomer. This seems to be based on that the copolymerizations of hydrophilic monomer enhance the phase separation of copolymer chains and HD, eventually resulting in the complete isolation of the HD core from the polymer shell.

Such particles are used as microcapsules, weight-saving or thermal insulation agents, and are applied to hiding or opacifying agents in coating and molding compositions because of their high light-scattering ability. We had succeeded in preparing micron-sized, monodisperse, crosslinking polymer particles having a single hollow at the center by seeded polymerization. Similar hollow polymer particles were produced by suspension polymerization for divinylbenzene (DVB)/toluene droplets dissolving polystyrene though they were polydisperse. The formation of the hollow structure is based on the self- assembling of phase separated polymer at the interface of the droplet. The method is named the Self-assembling of Phase Separated Polymer (SaPSeP) method. In this research, in order to clarify the formation mechanism of hollow particles by the SaPSeP method in more detail, the effects of phase separation of PDVB in the droplets, viscosity within the droplet and its size on the formation of the hollow structure were discussed. The phase separation in the early stage was required point for the formation of the hollow structure. Since the viscosity in the droplet is low at the low conversion, the PDVB can move and adsorb at the interface of the droplet. The mobility of PDVB microgels after the phase separation in polymerizing droplet was important factor for the formation of the hollow structure. The SaPSeP method was developed to produce composite particles encapsulating hinokitiol or magnetite. Moreover, the method was applied to the polyaddition reaction in a suspension system. The polyaddition reaction system satisfied the required conditions for the preparation of hollow particle by the SaPSeP method. In actual, cured epoxy resin particles having one hollow at the center were successfully prepared after evaporation of toluene.

The use of scCO_2 as medium for polymerizations has several potential advantages : low cost, low toxicily, eases of medium removal and recycling, and marked variations of solubility power, viscosity and polarity by relatively small changes in temperature and pressure without altering medium composition. The papers describing the dispersion polymerization of vinyl monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene in scCO_2 have been published in the past eight years. Some fluorinated polymers and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based polymers have been identified as being soluble in CO_2 or CO_2-philic and have been used as colloidal stabilizers, and there has been increasing interest on the colloidal stabilizers which are effective in scCO_2. In general, PDMS-based polymers may have advantages over fluorinated polymers from the viewpoints that PDMS-based polymers are much less expensive and their solubility in conventional organic solvents makes the characterization of the products obtained easy. In this research, PMMA particles could be produced by dispersion polymerization of MMA in scCO_2 using PDMS-based azoinitiator as inistab (initiator + stabilizer). Production of PMMA particles by the dispersion polymerization of MMA in scCO_2 in the presence of amino propyl terminated PDMS as colloidal stabilizer was also succeeded. Moreover, polydivinylbiphenyl particles were produced by precipitation polymerization of divinylbiphenyl without any stabilizer in scCO_2 at ca. 30 MPa for 24 h at 65℃. The effects of initiation rate of polymerization on the conversion, the fluidity of powder, the degree of coagulation/ the amount of low molecular weight by-products, and the amount of vinyl groups in the particles were examined.
