Study of the influence of the parameters of the preparation process on the structure of a highly porous copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene

The effect of polymerization parameters and drying temperature on the structure of a porous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer obtained on the basis of highly concentrated emulsions was investigated. The structure of this material consisted of two types of pores: voids with an average size of 3.5±0.3 μm and holes in the pore walls with an average size of 0.7±0.2 μm. It was determined that both in materially initiated and radiation polymerization, porous copolymers of styrene and divinylbenzene with the same structure are formed.
