Abstract
Summary: The nitroxide‐mediated controlled/living free radical copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene using a polystyrene‐TEMPO macroinitiator in aqueous miniemulsion and in bulk have been investigated. The crosslink densities were estimated based on the content of pendant vinyl groups as determined by ^1^H NMR. Considerably lower crosslink densities were revealed in the miniemulsion than in the corresponding bulk system. The rate of polymerization in the miniemulsion increased with decreasing particle size, and was significantly higher than in bulk.
Crosslink density for the TEMPO‐mediated free radical copolymerization of S(1) and DVB(2) (f = 0.99, f = 0.01) at 125 °C in bulk (□) and in miniemulsions with d~n~ = 585 nm (○) and 53.3 nm (•).
