One‐Step Synthesis of Biphasic, Cavity‐forming Polymer Particles via Dispersion Copolymerization of Styrene and Sulfobetaine Methacrylate

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Front Cover: Article 2200873 by Laura C. Bradley and co-workers demonstrates the one-step synthesis of biphasic polymer particles using styrene and sulfobetaine methacrylate. The resulting core-shell particles can be transformed, by washing them with water, into particles with internal cavities. Results indicate that differences in monomer solubility can be exploited to control the formation of phase-separated particle morphology when copolymerizing either ionic or zwitterionic monomers with styrene.
