78. The precipitation polymerization techniques described in this paper have been extended to the synthesis of PFSMSs from fcSiMePh and the spirocyclic cross-linker 4. The resulting spherical particles had an average diameter of 1.84 μm and a PDI of 1.17 (see the Supporting Information). The fcSiMePh monomer was synthesized according to literature procedures (see ref 29).

Without chemical treatment with 12, PFSMSs and the colloidal silica particles settle independently, without the formation of composite particles. Investigations into the electrostatic interactions present in these composite materials are currently under way in our laboratories.
