摘要
Narrow size distributions of spherical polyacrylic acid (PAA) particles are produced through precipitation polymerization without the need for stabilizers or emulsifiers. In this study, we employed small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to investigate the polydispersity index (PDI) associated with the molecular weight distribution of the particles. By fitting the SAXS profiles, we were able to determine particle sizes, standard deviation, and the PDI with high precision. Our findings from SAXS confirmed that the PAA particles are monodisperse, both statistically and quantitatively, with a PDI of less than 1.05.
