Summary: The dispersion polymerization of MMA in supercritical CO 2 was successfully carried out utilizing the first non‐fluorous random copolymers composed of 3‐tris(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and 2‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, poly(SiMA‐ co ‐DMAEMA) as a stabilizer. The resulting high yield (>93%) of micron‐sized PMMA was formed in the presence of 5% (w/w to MMA) of copolymeric stabilizers. While the PSiMA and PDMAEMA homopolymer produced nondescript solid and irregular shape aggregate, respectively, the random copolymer of 71% SiMA‐content resulted in spherical and uniform powder.SEM image of PMMA particles prepared in supercritical CO 2 using poly(SiMA‐ co ‐DMAEMA) (71:29) stabilizer.
