Polystyrene-poly(etheramic acid) core-shell particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization of styrene using poly(etheramic acid) obtained by the reaction of 2,2`-bis[4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) phenyl]propane dianhydride and 3,5-diamniobenzoic acid as a stabilizer. 4-Vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride was used as a comonomer to increase the binding efficiency of poly(etheramic acid). When the ethanol-water mixture (7 : 3) was used as a reaction medium, particles were stabilized well and the size distribution of particles was fairly narrow. The particle size increased with the amount of styrene. The particles polymerized in the dimethylformamide-water mixture had a broad size range. Polystyrene-poly(etheramic acid) core-shell particles were transformed to polystyrene-polyetherimide core-shell particles by the chemical imidization of shells.
