Monodisperse core–shell melamine–formaldehyde polymer-modified silica microspheres prepared using a facile microwave-assisted method

A facile microwave-assisted synthesis method for the preparation of monodisperse core–shell melamine–formaldehyde (MF)-modified silica resin microspheres (SiO2@MF) was developed. Under the optimal conditions, uniform and monodisperse SiO2@MF microspheres with good thermal stability and clean surface were obtained.
