Nonspherical polymer particles were prepared by spraying an aqueous dispersion of hydrophobic solvent droplets (containing dissolved polymers) into methanol. Nonspherical particles were prepared for polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate), and spherical particles were prepared for poly(ethyl metha...
