Oxidative fabrication of spherical polycarbazole-based microparticles

A straightforward oxidative liquid phase polymerization (LPP) method has been successfully developed for the fabrication of spherical functional (polyCOOH) polycarbazole-based microparticles from corresponding carbazole-containing monomers. The influence of the chemical structure of starting carbazole monomers on the LPP-based microparticle formation has been deeply examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
