Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres are used in various fields of application including clinical dentistry and surgery. Creating new technological schemes and modernizing already known technologies of poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres production have developed rapidly during the last 50 years. In this work, the influence of suspending agents (type, concentration etc.) on the average size of microspheres is shown. Poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) and its sodium salt are proposed as very effective suspending agents, allowing to produce microspheres of required size under various conditions. The effect of initiator concentration and stirring speed on average size of particles is also investigated. A technological scheme is proposed in accordance to experimental data.
