Abstract:

Poly(styrene-divinylbenzene)(PSt-DVB)porous microspheres with a diameter of less than 1 5μm were prepared by means of the modified two-step seed swelling polymerization.Then,the adsorption and release of hy-droquinone on the produced porous microspheres were investigated an d the effects of microsphere size.pore diame-ter and adsorption capacity on the release rate were investigated in detail.Th e results indicate that both the de-crease in microsphere size and the increase in adsorption capacity result in a high release speed of hydroquinone from the microspheres,while the pore diameter has no obvious efect on the release of hydroquinone.Moreover,the concentration of hydroquinone changes little in a long period which shows that the produced PSt-DVB por0us mi-crospheres are of excellent release-controlling performance.
