1st Edition
by Vikas Mittal (Editor)
Explains miniemulsion technology and techniques and why they have many distinct advantages over the conventional emulsion polymerization technology
Miniemulsion Polymerization Technology
comprises 10 papers by many of the world's experts on the subject. It
summarizes the recent advances in miniemulsion polymerization technology
including the advances on the selection of surfactants and
co-surfactants, the expansion of miniemulsion technology in various
polymers and co-polymer systems, and the use of miniemulsion
polymerization for the synthesis of advanced polymer particle
morphologies.
There have been a large number of texts on emulsion
and other forms of polymerization methods, but miniemulsion
polymerization, though it provides unique routes for polymer particle
synthesis, has been neglected.
This edited volume:
- Details
the use of miniemulsion polymerization in encapsulation, core shell
functional particles, nitroxide mediated polymerization, atom transfer
radical polymerization or radical addition fragmentation chain transfer
polymerization, to generate advanced polymer nanoparticles or
organic-inorganic composite particles
- Examines the wide spectrum of commercial possibilities of miniemulsion polymerization
- Provides both introductory material as well as deep insights into the synthesis of polymer particles
