Abstract
Experiments were conducted on some of factors affecting the polymerized particle size distribution in suspension polymerization of styrene. Polymerization experiments with styrene at 80 °C showed that the final polystyrene product size distribution is strongly affected by the stabilizer concentration, the type and the speed of impeller, and the hold-up fraction.
