The electrodeposition of amino-functionalized polystyrene and polybutylacrylate particles onto a gold electrode was investigated by an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) and by AFM imaging. Particles with diameters in the range of 100 nm were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization....
