In brief, PVAmNS was obtained by the free radical polymerization of poly(N-vinylacetoamide) macromonomer and styrene in ethanol and subsequent hydrolysis of an acetoamide group to induce an amine group by HClaq. It is considered that the reaction process is slightly different from the conventional emulsion polymerization, because the nanosphere formation make a clear reaction mixture suspend.
