Abstract

Spherical monodispersed polymeric particles are prepared from vinyl monomers and crosslinking polymerizable polyvinyl monomers. More particularly, a novel process for producing spherical monodispersed gel particles that are about 1-6 .mu.m in size and contain at least about 0.5 to about 3 weight percent (based on polymerizable vinyl monomer/vinyl polymer) of a polymerizable polyvinyl monomer is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of combining an isoalkanol solvent, a polymerizable vinyl monomer and a crosslinking polymerizable polyvinyl monomer under timed and monitored conditions.
