The interest in emulsion polymerization is strong because it offers the possibility of
producing products with special properties not easily produced by other types of …

Emulsion polymerization is the method of choice to produce a wide range of specialty
waterborne polymer dispersions. These are multicharacteristic products that should meet …

There is a large body of Soviet work on emulsion polymerization, spanning a period of over
three decades, that has been published primarily in the Russian language. Most of this has …

The available data from emulsion polymerization systems have been obtained almost
exclusively through manual, off-line analysis of monomer conversion, emulsifier …

A class of simplified emulsion polymerization models is developed. These models include
the distribution of particle sizes and radical numbers, and the coupling of the particle …

An interesting feature of commercial continuous emulsion polymerization reactors is the
important phenomenon of sustained oscillations. Laboratory investigations of emulsion …

Three steady-state models are presented to relate the particle size distribution to theprocess
design vari-ables in a continuous emulsion polymerization system. The development uses …

This paper is a survey of recent published works on the dynamic and steady state modeling
of emulsion homo‐and copolymerization in batch, semicontinuous, and continuous latex …

Emulsion polymers with well‐defined molecular‐weight distributions (MWD) were obtained
by using a control strategy based on on‐line measurements of both unreacted monomer and …

Abstract Effects of the operating policies—the initial initiator amount; the initial emulsifier
amount; the monomer addition mode: batch or semibatch; and the monomer addition rate …
