According to papers, to synthesize polystyrene, I should dissolve AIBA in water and then add it to batch. I read in its datasheet that AIBA is soluble in water but I can't dissolve it, either at room temperature or at 70 Celsius.
Just try to dissolve AIBA on ultrasound bath. It helps for many other poorly soluble substances in any solvents.
Try with a very concentrated solution in DMSO and disperse it in water uL in mL
I know Si wafer can be hydroxylate by piranha solution but I don't know how long will hydroxyl group remain, either in air or distilled water. One hour, one day or ...?
