Suspension polymerization is a method in which water-insoluble polymerizable monomers are stirred and dispersed in water, and polymerization is initiated using a monomer-soluble catalyst. The small droplets of monomer dispersed in the aqueous phase by stirring are 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and a dispersant such as polyvinyl alcohol is generally used to stabilize the monomer droplets. Polymerization proceeds in dispersed monomer droplets, producing a polymer having the morphology of monomer droplets.

When it is desired to obtain polymer beads of ~100 μm, emulsion polymerization is insufficient, and suspension polymerization has the problem that the particle size is too large.

It has been completed. That is, in the method for producing polymer beads of the present invention, a monomer solution flowing on one side of a porous glass membrane is extruded to the other side of the porous glass membrane, and the monomer solution is forced to flow on the other side of the porous glass membrane.

散させたエマルジョン溶液5 を調製する。Next, the method for producing polymer beads of the present invention will be explained. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an apparatus for carrying out the manufacturing method of the present invention. In order to prepare an emulsion solution in which monomer droplets of uniform particle size were dispersed, a porous glass membrane module 1 constructed by combining a plurality of cylindrical porous glass membranes 11 was used. The container 7 contains a dispersion medium 2, and a dispersant is mixed with the dispersion medium 2. The dispersion medium 2 and the dispersant are sent out by a pump 6 and are made to flow inside (or outside) each cylindrical porous glass membrane that constitutes the module 1 . On the other hand, a monomer solution 3 is contained in a pressure vessel 8 connected to a pressurizing device 9 such as a compressor, a high-pressure cylinder, and a pressurizing pump. The monomer solution 3 may be a polymerizable monomer alone or may be a polymerizable monomer dissolved in a suitable solvent. When the monomer solution 3 is supplied under pressure to the outside (or inside) of each cylindrical porous glass membrane constituting the module 1 by the pressurizing device 9, the monomer solution 3 is applied to the pores of the porous glass membrane due to the pressurization. The polymerizable monomer droplets 4 form polymerizable monomer droplets 4 and are dispersed in the dispersion medium 2 . Dispersion medium 2
contains a dispersant, so monomer droplets do not aggregate or precipitate. The supply pressure of the monomer solution 3 is preferably about 1 to 3 kg/cm2. In this way, an emulsion solution 5 in which monomer droplets 4 are dispersed in a dispersion medium 2 is prepared.

とができる。When this emulsion solution 5 is heated,
The monomer group constituting the monomer droplet 4 starts polymerization. Note that the polymerization initiator is added to the dispersion medium 2 or the monomer solution 3 depending on its type. The polymerization reaction takes place within the monomer droplets 4. Therefore, the size of the polymer beads produced corresponds to the particle size of the monomer droplets 4, and
Its particle size distribution is almost monodisperse, similar to the particle size distribution of the monomer droplets 4. Moreover, the particle size of the monomer droplet can be adjusted according to the pore size of the porous glass membrane, and the pore size of the porous glass membrane can be adjusted to 0.01 to 100 by controlling the composition of the raw glass, the phase separation process, etc. It can be arbitrarily adjusted within the range of μm. Therefore, it is possible to produce polymer beads of 10 to 100 μm, which are difficult to produce by emulsion polymerization or suspension polymerization, and polymer beads with substantially uniform particle size.

[Specific Example] In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, water 2 is placed in container 7.
000 g and 2 g of sodium lauryl sulfate were placed in the pressure vessel 8, and 85.71 g of styrene and 8.6 g of benzoyl peroxide were placed in the pressure vessel 8. The solution in container 7 was passed through the cylinder of each porous glass membrane (pore diameter: 5.2 μm) constituting module 1, and the solution in pressure vessel 8 was supplied to the outside of the cylinder under pressure at 2.5 kg/cm2. . Both solutions were passed through module 1, resulting in an emulsion solution in which styrene monomer droplets were dispersed in water. When this emulsion solution was kept at about 80° C. for about 90 minutes, polystyrene beads having a substantially uniform particle size (about 15 μm) were obtained. [Comparative Example] A toluene solution of polystyrene was used instead of styrene, and methanol, which is compatible with toluene, was used instead of water. module 1
Polystyrene beads were precipitated in the mixed solution obtained by passing through the solution.
