Emulsion Polymerization: A Mechanistic ApproachThis book provides a modern overview of the principles governing emulsion polymerization, a topic of both academic and industrial importance. The reader is provided with the mathematical, physical and technical tools to understand the mechanisms and physical chemistry of these systems, particularly the major advances of the last 15 years. The book describes the mechanisms that govern the various aspects of an emulsion polymerization, and how from appropriate experimental studies, the dominant mechanisms in a particular system may be deduced. From such deductions, the means are developed whereby the properties of the result of the emulsion polymerization can be quantitatively modelled and trends can be qualitatively understood and predicted. This book opens the way to the intelligent, knowledge-based design that is the future for improvements and innovations in products and processes from this important technology. Provides a thoroughly up-to-date overview of the principles and practices of emulsion polymerization Contains mathematical, physical, and technical tools which enable the reader to understand the mechanisms and physical chemistry used in the field Includes extensive exercises with model answers |
