The monodisperse polymer microspheres with large size are a kind of macromolecular particles which have been developed in recent 20 years. They are of wide prospects for using in many fields such as standard measurement

information

medicine

immunity

biochemistry etc. The syntheses and applications have become an active topic in polymer science. In the present paper

the situations of syntheses

applications and theoretical study both in home and in abroad for monodisperse polymer microspheres with large size are reviewed. It focuses on two kinds of efficient techniques

i. e.

dispersion polymerization and seed swollen

for preparing polymer microspheres. Besides

the applications of monodisperse polymer microspheres with different particle morphologies and surface characteristics in various fields are introduced.
