Provided is a method of suspension polymerization comprising 1. A method of suspension polymerization comprising (a) one or more water-insoluble vinyl monomers, and', '(b) a polyelectrolyte (PED) having a polarity,', '(c) one or more initiators, and', 'wherein said aqueous medium comprises a polyelectrolyte (PEW) having a polarity that is opposite to the polarity of said polyelectrolyte (PED),, '(i) providing a suspension of liquid droplets in an aqueous medium, wherein said droplets comprise'}(ii) polymerizing said vinyl monomer or allowing said vinyl monomer to polymerize.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suspension has a pH of 5 to 10.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PED) has negative polarity and said polyelectrolyte (PEW) has positive polarity.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PED) comprises polymerized units of ionic monomer in an amount of 3 mole % to 12 mole %.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PEW) comprises polymerized units of ionic monomer in an amount of 40 mole % to 100 mole %.6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PED) is a vinyl polyelectrolyte. Suspensions in aqueous media of liquid droplets of water-insoluble compounds are useful for a variety of purposes. For example, when such droplets contain vinyl monomer and initiator, the monomer may undergo polymerization to form polymer particles in a process of suspension polymerization. Such polymer particles are useful for a variety of purposes, including, for example, as resins that are adsorptive or that have ion exchange functionality or both. Such resins are used for a wide variety purposes, including, for example, purification of foods and/or beverages.In the past, suspensions in aqueous media of liquid droplets of water-insoluble vinyl monomers have been stabilized by the addition of one or more stabilizing compound, and a common stabilizing compound is gelatin. Because gelatin is an animal product, many ...
