Abstract We present procedures for preparing sterically stabilized polymer particles whose refractive index can be controlled over a range of a few percent. Particle sphericity and size distribution are such that suspensions crystallize at high concentrations. This at least ensures that Brownian motion dominates over particle settling and that the polydispersity is no more than about 10%. Of particular interest are new particles comprising poly(methylmethacrylate-co-trifluoroethylacrylate) that can be optically matched in single solvent, namely cis-decalin.
