Abstract: | The studies on control of heterogeneous structure of porous polymer microspheres prepared for suspension polymerization system and preformed polymer system in author’s research group were reviewed. Firstly, the phase-separation behavior in O/W suspension polymerization system for preparation of porous poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres was quantitatively studied by combining transmittance and gelation point measurement, from which the morphology can be manipulated. The same method can be employed to study the pore size control in W/O hydrophilic polymerization system. Because the simple porous microsphere could not satisfy new applications, we developed new methods to prepare gigaporous microsphere, which possessed much larger pores than those obtained by general diluents, for chromatographic separation media, as well as hollow-porous microsphere for construction of cell-like microreactor. Furthermore, in order to overcome the difficulty of heterogeneous structure control for preformed polymer system, we developed special methods to obtain porous, hollow-porous, and hollow chitosan microspheres. Finally, some application results by utilizing special morphologies were introduced. |
