Experiments on the suspension polymerization of styrene were conducted at various stabilizer concentrations, dispersed phase hold‐up fractions, impeller types and impeller speeds. The experimental final particle size distributions obtained were almost always described by the upper limit number distribution. Plots of the maximum diameter, a max , and the mean diameters, a 21 and a 10 , vs. the Sauter mean diameter, a 32 , gave straight lines with slopes of 1.24, 0.99 and 0.97, respectively.
