Abstract
Acrylamide (AAm)-methacrylic acid (MAc)-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAAm) terpolymer microspheres and AAm-MAc-MBAAm-nitrophenyl acrylate (NPA) quaterpolymer microspheres with high monodispersity were prepared by p recipitation polymerization in alcohol. The former were modified into composite microspheres containing hydrophobic domains or magnetite nan ospheres. The active ester in the quaterpolymer microspheres was allow ed to undergo hydrolysis or aminolysis to prepare novel microspheres s uch as highly negative, amphoteric, hydrophobic or bioconjugate micros pheres.
