Stable dispersions are prepared by free‐radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in aliphatic hydrocarbons containing poly(dimethylsiloxane) modified with mercaptoalkyl side groups. The particles are pictured as being stabilized by a protective layer of solvated poly(dimethylsiloxane). Some important features of the polymerization are described.
