Simple emulsion polymerization was used as the method to produce uniformly spherical PSL particles. The diameter of PSL particles ranging from (160 to 941) nm was obtained by controlling the reaction parameters during the polymerization process. The reaction parameters were the concentration of styrene monomer, the concentration of potassium persulphate initiator, and the solution temperature. The diameter of PSL particles was larger as the concentration of styrene monomer, and initiator concentration increased, as analyzed from their SEM images. The higher the solution temperature, the resulting particles diameter would be smaller.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Aerosol filtration,Fabrication and characterizations,Initiator concentration,Monodisperse polystyrene,Polymerization process,Polystyrene latexes,Potassium persulphate,Solution temperature[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Aerosol filtration test,and SEM,polymerization process,polystyrene latex (PSL)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was financially supported by Directorate of Research and Community Engagement of Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, the Republic of Indonesia under the University’s Excellent Research (PUPT) Grant in the fiscal year 2015–2017, and “Reset & Inovasi KK ITB” Grant in the fiscal year of 2016–2017.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/367/1/012015[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
