Abstract

By virtue of simple quiescent redox-initiated precipitation polymerization, monodisperse poly(lauryl methacrylate-divinylbenzene) microspheres bearing exceptionally low polydispersity index below 1.01 are obtained with a monomer concentration of 20 vol% in acetic acid at ambient temperature. Superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles around 160° are successfully fabricated by dip-coating and deposition of the highly monodisperse microspheres onto glass substrates.
