7. All seeded polymerizations were carried out at in the absence of a free monomer phase at 70°C until complete conversion. For KPS the polystyrene seed latex was swollen with a solution of BDB in styrene. The polymerizations with PEGA200 and AIBN were carried out with poly(methyl methacrylate) seed latexes swollen with PhEDB solution in styrene. To start the polymerizations, aqueous and methanolic solutions of KPS or PEGA200 and AIBN were added after equilibration of the reaction mixture.

9. -4 mol of BDB in either 0.74 g of styrene, or 0.77 g of methyl methacrylate, or 0.71 g of ethylbenzene was placed on top of the dispersion inside the reactor. Before depositing the solution the dispersion was heated to 70°C, and the absorption baseline was measured after thermal equilibration and before adding the initiator (43 mg of KPS or 46 mg of VA-086 dissolved in 2 g of water).
