Abstract: The production of highly monodisperse polymer particles is very important in different fields, such as research and industry. This interest is due to their wide potential applications, ranging from drug/gene delivery to large scale separation, sensor fabrication and diagnostic applications, due to their special characteristics of uniformity in size, shape and structure. Different methods for the synthesis of monodisperse particles have been reported, but there is a necessity to find new approaches for the synthesis of functionalized monodisperse particles, in order to satisfy growing needs of industry in products with specific characteristics. This review describes several approaches for fabrication of monodisperse polymer particles with size varying from 1 nm to 1,000 μm, highlighting problems associated with their synthesis and furnishes analysis of present and prospective areas for their applications
