Abstract

The traditional preparation methods of polystyrene microspheres are emulsion polymerization and suspension polymerization. The diameter of the microspheres prepared by the former is generally less than 0.5 μm, and the diameter of the microspheres prepared by the latter is about several hundred microns and is difficult to control. With the continuous development of science and technology, scientists have found multiple methods to prepare micron-sized monodisperse polymer microspheres in recent years. Such as soap-free or low-soap emulsion method, dispersion polymerization method, liquid-phase synthesis method. The four preparation methods of dispersion polymerization, emulsion polymerization, liquid-phase synthesis, suspension polymerization and their respective advantages and disadvantages are discussed in detail, and the prospect of synthetic application is prospected.
