Abstract

 Polymer particles having single hollow in the inside were successfully prepared by suspension polymerization for divinylbenzene/ toluene droplets dissolving polystyrene (PS) in an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol). Such a hollow polymer particle was not obtained without PS. The hollow structure was affected by the molecular weight and the concentration of PS.
