重合体粒子の比表面積は、ISO 9277第1版 JIS Z 8830:2001記載のBET法(窒素吸着法)により測定した。対象となる重合体粒子について、株式会社島津製作所社製の自動比表面積/細孔分布測定装置Tristar3000を用いてBET窒素吸着等温線を測定し、窒素吸着量からBET多点法を用いて比表面積を算出した。加熱ガスパージによる前処理を実施した後、吸着質として窒素を用い、吸着質断面積0.162nm2の条件下で定容量法を用いて測定を行った。なお、前記前処理は、具体的には、重合体粒子が入った容器を65℃で加熱しながら、窒素パージを20分行い、室温放冷した後、その容器を65℃で加熱しながら、前記容器内の圧力が0.05mmHg以下になるまで真空脱気を行うことにより、行った。
上述の測定方法により測定された重合体粒子中の界面活性剤の含有量と、上述の測定方法により測定された重合体粒子の比表面積とから、以下の算出式により重合体粒子の単位表面積あたりにおける界面活性剤の含有量を算出した。

重合体粒子を水中に分散させ遠心分離すると、目的とする粒子径を有する重合体粒子は沈降する一方、重合体粒子中に含有される副生成物(乳化重合生成物)は、浮遊して少量の水と共に上澄み液を構成する。そこで、ここでは、重合体粒子中における重合の副生成物(乳化重合生成物)の含有量を、上澄み液中における非揮発成分の含有量として測定する。
まず、各実施例及び各比較例で得られた重合体粒子5.0gを内容量50mlのサンプル瓶に入れ、水15.0gを添加する。その後、超音波洗浄器(株式会社ヴェルヴォクリーア製「ULTRASONIC CLEANER VS-150」、発振周波数:50kHz、高周波出力:150W)を用いて60分間分散処理を行うことにより重合体粒子を水中に分散させて、分散液を得る。なお、重合体粒子が水に分散しにくい場合には、重合体粒子を微量(上限0.8g)のアルコール(例えばエタノール)で湿潤させた後、水に分散させてもよい。
次に、回収した上澄み液5.0g中に含まれる副生成物(乳化重合生成物)の含有量を評価する。すなわち、まず、予め重量を計量した内容量10mlのサンプル瓶に、上澄み液5.0gを秤り取り、温度60℃の真空オーブンに5時間入れて水分を蒸発させる。蒸発乾固した残留物、すなわち非揮発成分を含むサンプル瓶の重量(g)を計量する。
={(非揮発成分を含むサンプル瓶の重量)(g)-(サンプル瓶の重量)(g)}
÷(サンプル瓶に入れた上澄み液の重量)(g)×100
重合体粒子のゲル分率は、重合体粒子の架橋度を示すものであり、以下の方法で測定される。すなわち、まず、200mLナスフラスコに、試料としての重合体粒子1.0gと、沸騰石0.03gとを精秤して投入し、更にトルエン100mLを注加した後、前記ナスフラスコに冷却管を装着し、130℃に保ったオイルバスに前記ナスフラスコを浸けて24時間還流する。
重合体粒子の屈折率測定はベッケ法により行った。まず、スライドガラス上に重合体粒子を載せ、屈折液(CARGILLE社製:カーギル標準屈折液、屈折率nD25が1.480~1.596の屈折液を、屈折率差0.002刻みで複数準備)を滴下する。そして、重合体粒子と屈折液をよく混ぜた後、下から岩崎電気株式会社製高圧ナトリウムランプ「NX35」(中心波長589nm)の光を照射しながら、上部から光学顕微鏡により重合体粒子の輪郭を観察した。そして、輪郭が見えない場合を、屈折液と重合体粒子の屈折率が等しいと判断した。
以下の実施例3の重合体粒子における、8μm以上10μm以下の粒子径を有する重合体粒子の個数、及び10μm以上の粒子径を有する重合体粒子の個数は、フロー式粒子像分析装置(商品名「FPIA(登録商標)-3000S」、シスメックス株式会社製)を用いて測定した。
