Monodisperse ultrafine polystyrene nanoparticles have been successfully prepared under low levels of surfactant through a novel semicontinuous microemulsion polymerization, in which the first part of monomer (St₁) is added dropwise while the subsequent supply to the polymerizing system is delivered in one potion. Polystyrene nanoparticles with number-average diameter of 17.4 nm and polydispersity index of 1.06 were obtained using low level of surfactant/monomer weight ratio of 0.20. Influencing of parameters including amount of St₁, solid content, initiator, reaction temperature, and cosurfactant on the resultant particle size and size distribution were investigated. The mechanism of nucleation and particle growth was discussed as well.
