Multicomponent emulsion polymerization

DetaUed Modeling of Multicomponent Emulsion Polymerization Systems... 

The kinetics of emulsion polymerization reactions are complex because of the numerous chemical and physical phenomena that can occur in the multicomponent, multiphase mixture. A large amount of literature exists on kinetics problems. The general references listed at the end of this chapter contain many important papers. The review paper by Ugelstad and Hansen (11) is a comprehensive treatment of batch kinetics. The purpose of the remainder of this chapter is to present the general kinetics problems and some of the published results. The reader should use the references cited earlier for a more detailed study. 

Ttp 6 (related to Ttp 5) Impurities, transfer to monomer, and terminal double bonds. The role of impurities should not be neglected, especially in emulsion/dispersion systems. See the case smdies described in Penlidis et al. [31], Chien and Penlidis [32], and Dub6 and Penlidis [33], for both homopolymerization and multicomponent polymerization systems, in both bulk/solution and emulsion. Transfer to...
