We report the first nitroxide-mediated microemulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate-co-styrene as well as the synthesis of (MMA-co-St)-block-(n-BMA-co-St) polymers using a one-pot, two-stage differential monomer addition technique. These microemulsion polymerizations were conducted with commercially available materials and do not, require a preliminary synthesis step. The latexes are optically translucent with monomodal particle size distributions, mean particle diameters ranging from 20 to 30 nm, low surfactant-to-monomer ratios (0.13-0.28 w/w), and solids contents up to 40 wt %. The polymerizations exhibited fast reaction rites, resulting in well-controlled reactions yielding high molecular weight polymer (>100000 g mol(-1)). The styrene content and duration of the first stage were particularly important for obtaining narrow molecular weight distributions, with 30 mol 96 styrene in the first stage (similar to 8-10 mol 96 styrene overall in the polymer), resulting in the best controlled polymerizations. The overall styrene content in the latexes can be as low as 8 mol 96 while maintaining excellent control. The MMA-co-St microemulsion latexes can readily be chain extended with n-BMA-co-St while preserving monomodal particle size distributions.
