Suspension polymerization is the established polymerization method to prepare polymer beads with the size region from micron to thousand micron. In the suspension polymerization method, it is important to investigate how to make the suspension stable and how to control the polymer bead size. In the method for controlling polymer bead size,there are the soft type of technique by adjusting physical properties of liquids concerned and the hard type of technique by investigating the operating conditions as the geometry of reactor and the mixing condition. By suspension polymerization, composite particles with various structures can be prepared.
