Narrow disperse micron-range divinylbenzene-maleic anhydride microspheres have been prepared in near quantitative yields using precipitation polymerization. A variety of solvents were investigated for use as the reaction medium with a 40:60 mixture of methyl ethyl ketone and heptane providing the best results. The effects of solvent composition on particle size and morphology and monomer loading effects were also investigated. Particle size decreased with increasing solvency (increasing MEK fraction) while increases in monomer loading caused larger particle sizes.
