Notes:
Sorbents based on glycidyl methacrylate were used in an investigation of the effect of the type of the suspension stabilizer and of its concentration on the shape, size, and morphology of beads consisting of submicroscopic particles (globules). Of many stabilizers used, only poly(vinyl pyrro-lidone) and poly(vinyl alcohol) led to the formation of regular spherical beads with a surface shell. As expected, beads obtained using a stabilizer producing higher interfacial tension poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)-K 90 were much larger. A similar effect may be reached by lowering the concentration of poly(vinyl alcohol), if this lowering is accompanied by a rise in the interfacial tension. Despite this, however, the surface shell was not compact in this relatively narrow range of interfacial ten-sions.
