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

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 …

In the production of dispersed polymers, the main objectives to be fulfilled are: a) Safety. The
reactor temperature must be kept under safe limits to avoid thermal runaways. In addition …

A detailed dynamic model was developed for a styrene emulsion polymerisation semi-batch
reactor to predict the evolution of the product particle size distribution (PSD) and molecular …

Dynamic optimization of the emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate in a pilot scale stirred-
tank reactor was studied. The objective function was defined in order to minimize the …

Emulsion polymers are products by process. Besides the process and recipe conditions the
reactor itself is the main factor that determines the product properties. In today's industrial …

This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Features of Emulsion Polymerization
Alternative Polymerization Techniques Kinetics of Emulsion Polymerization Molecular …

Particle morphology strongly affects the performance of waterborne polymer dispersions,
which are products-by-process materials produced by emulsion polymerization, a process …

The modeling of the semibatch emulsion polymerization of styrene and its validation against
data obtained from a reactor facility is presented. The model, which describes the growth of …

One of the most common but promising processes for the production of paints and coatings
is the free radical emulsion polymerization reaction involving different types of monomers …
