A general route to very small polymer particles with controlled microstructures

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Oct 26;127(42):14568-9. doi: 10.1021/ja0558084.

Abstract

Very small polymer particles of 10-30 nm size with various microstructures (polyethylene, syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, poly(cycloolefins)) are prepared by catalytic polymerization with aqueous catalyst microemulsion.
