Morphological transitions of cationic PISA particles by salt, triflate ions and temperature; comparison of three polycations

Abstract
Three strong polycations have been used as macro chain transfer agents in PISA polymerizations. The sensitivity of the polycations towards added salts varies, and under saline conditions the morphologies of the particles vary as well.
