Porous styrene/divinylbenzene/methylmethacrylate terpolymers were prepared by radical suspension polymerization. Mixtures of two pore forming agents, n-heptane and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, were used to generate various STY/DVB/MMA networks. The morphological changes were made apparent by porous volume, porosity, apparent density, volume fraction of polymer in the swollen gel, toluene/cyclohexane uptake and scanning electron microscopy. These properties were correlated with the diluent-polymer distance (Rij) in three-dimensional delta(d), delta(p) and delta(h) space solubility parameters. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
