Atom emulsion polymerization

The controlled emulsion polymerization of styrene using nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP), reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization (RAFT), stable free radical polymerization (SFR), and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) methods is described. The chain transfer agent associated with each process was phenyl-t-butylnitrone, nitric oxide, dibenzyl trithiocarbonate, 1,1-diphenylethylene, and ethyl 2-bromo-isobutyrate, respectively. Polydispersities between 1.17 and 1.80 were observed. 

Controlled free-radical polymerization (CFRP) has been used successfully to produce block, graft, and other controlled architecture copolymers within the last decade for a variety of free radically polymerizable monomers. The main techniques include reversible addition fragmentation and transfer (RAFT) polymerization, stable free-radical polymerization (SFRP) mediated by nitroxide/alkoxyamine based radicals, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), diphenyl ethylene (DPE) mediated polymerization, and novel precipitation/emulsion polymerization based methods like free-radical retrograde precipitation polymerization (FRRPP). ... 

Using an original approach, Zhang and coworkers recently reported the synthesis of PMMA latex particles stabilized by MMT platelets tethered with poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) brushes (Fig. 33) [290]. The PDMAEMA polyelectrolyte brush was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization using a cationic initiator previously introduced in the clay galleries. The PDMAEMA-functionaUzed clay platelets were further used to stabilize the emulsion polymerization of MMA initiated by the remaining free radical initiator present on the clay surface. 

Taking into account all of the above mentioned applications, the synthesis of magnetic latex will be discussed in two parts first, the preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles and, second, the preparation of magnetic latex. Depending on the aim of researchers, many polymerization techniques are applied such as suspension, dispersion, emulsion, microemulsion and miniemulsion polymerization in combination with controlled radical polymerization techniques like atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMP). The preparation of hybrid magnetic latex by emulsion polymerization will be the focus of this review. 

In the present text we attempt to do justice to the different topics of polymers and their uses. This text is generally suitable for researchers rather than students. The first chapter of this book discussed sorption mechanism of organic compound in the nanopore of syndiotactic polystyrene crystal. In the second chapter, a discussion was done to illustrate a physico-chemical characterization and processing of pulse seeds. The chemo-enzymatic polymerization for peptide polymers were illustrated in the third chapter. In the fourth chapter, an electrokinetic potential method was used to characterize the surface properties of polymer foils and their modifications. Also, an emulsion polymerizations was discussed in the fifth chapter. Nonconventional methods of polymer surface patterning, polymer characterization using atomic force microscope, biopolymers in the environment, and carbon nanostructure and their properties and applications were discussed in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth chapters respectively. Finally, let us point that although many books in the field of pol)nner science appear, none of them are complementary.
