Abstract
About 2-mu m-sized polystyrene (PS) particles having uneven surfaces were p repared by a post-treatment in which toluene-swollen PS particles were thro wn into a methanol bath to release toluene therefrom rapidly. The posttreat ment was named the "solvent-absorbing/releasing method". The PS particle ha d large dents at the surface. The size of the dents was changed by the cond itions of the posttreatment.
