Abstract
A method of producing a polymer packing material for liquid chromatography includes the steps of swelling seed polymer particles to form swelled particles, polymerizing monomers in the swelled particles under existence of diluent, and removing the diluent to form porous polymer particles, wherein the step of polymerizing the monomers is conducted under existence of a compound having a conjugated double bond not reactive with the monomers and having a molecular weight of 100-500. Alternatively, the polymerization process may be conducted by an oxidation reduction polymerization process. Further, the porous polymer particles obtained after removal of the diluent may be subjected to a heat treatment process at a temperature of 100.degree. C. or higher.
