Past experience with polymer chemistry and with microemulsion systems led the authors recently to combine the fields. As will be described, new polymeric materials were prepared by rigidifying reverse micellar systems formed by adding water and a suitable surfactant to a polymerizable monomer. The authors now report on (a) the preparation of systems where styrene/divinylbenzene (rather than octane) comprised the apolar continuous phase and (b) the subsequent conversion of these microemulsions into solids by photopolymerization.
