Disclosed are a plurality of particles having a narrow particle size distribution, a processes for forming the same, and films containing the same. The plurality of particles, includes one or more discrete polymer shells, wherein at least one of the polymer shells is crosslinked with at least one monomer containing two or more double bonds polymerizable by free radical means; and a core material encased in the polymer shells, wherein the plurality of particles have a polydispersity of from 1.3 to 1.0.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A process for forming a plurality of particles, comprising the steps of: (A) providing a first emulsion comprising a core material and one or more monomers in an aqueous phase, wherein at least one of the monomers is a crosslinking monomer containing two or more double bonds capable of free radical polymerization, and a second emulsion comprising seed particles; (B) combining the first emulsion and the second emulsion; (C) forming discrete domains, in the aqueous phase, wherein the domains comprise the core material and the one or more monomers, and (D) polymerizing the one or more monomers by free radical polymerization to form a plurality of particles, each particle comprising a discrete crosslinked polymer shell encasing the core material, wherein the plurality of particles have a polydispersity of from 1.
3 to 1.
0.
2.
The process of claim 1, wherein the core material comprises liquid crystal material.
3.
The process of claim 1, wherein at least one transport agent is added prior to step (C).
4.
The process of claim 1, further comprising forming at least one additional polymer shell on the crosslinked polymer shell encasing the core material.
5.
The process of claim 1, wherein the core material is an operationally nematic liquid crystal.
6.
A process for forming a plurality of particles, comprising the steps of: (A) providing a first emulsion comprising a core material in an aqueous phase and a second emulsion comprising seed particles; (B) combining the first emulsion and the second emulsion; (C) forming discrete domains, in the aqueous phase, wherein the domains comprise the core material and the seed particles; (D) adding one or more monomers to the discrete domains, wherein at least one of the monomers is a crosslinking monomer containing two or more double bonds capable of free radical polymerization; (E) polymerizing the one or more monomers by free radical polymerization to form a plurality of particles, each particle comprising a discrete crosslinked polymer shell encasing the core material, wherein the plurality of particles have a polydispersity of from 1
