Abstract
Herein we report the successful dispersion polymerization of acrylonitrile in carbon dioxide using a block copolymer consisting of polystyrene and pol y(1,1-dihydroperfluorooctyl acrylate) as a stabilizer. Submicron-sized poly acrylonitrile particles were obtained. The initial concentrations of acrylo nitrile and the stabilizer and the reaction pressure had some effects on th e resulting size of the colloidal particles.
