Chemistry and Technology of Emulsion Polymerisation
2e provides a practical and intuitive explanation of
emulsion polymerization, in combination with both conventional and
controlled radical polymerization. For those working in industry,
coupling theory with everyday practice can be difficult. By
carefully explaining the principles of the reaction, based on
well-designed experimental investigation, the book explains how the
principles relate to practical application.
The second edition of this book includes a new chapter on
morphology of latex particles, a rapidly progressing area where
modelling the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of phase separation
and morphology has developed into a mature and powerful tool to
predict and control morphology of latex particles.
Another area that is rapidly progressing is the
application of controlled radical polymerisation in emulsion
polymerization. Controlled radical polymerisation is used in aiding
encapsulation of inorganic particles like pigment particles and
clay platelets. These latest developments are included in the
second edition.
