title: Structure of hollow polystyrene microspheres: an SEM study.
abstract: Hollow polystyrene microspheres have been prepared by a modified interfacial polymer deposition technique. The hollow microspheres were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The effects of polymer concentration and the quantity of the internal phase material (methanol) used on the microsphere size and their wall thickness were studied. Increase in polymer concentration causes increase in wall thickness while increasing internal phase material increases microsphere size and deforms them from a spherical shape.
