Abstract
The effects of nonionic emulsifier on the formation of multihollow structures formed within sub-micron-sized polymer particles by the “acid/alkali method” proposed by the authors were examined. The original acid-swellable particles were produced by seeded emulsion terpolymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate, and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate. The results indicate that the nonionic emulsifier had a great effect on the formation of multihollow particles.
