Explains miniemulsion technology and techniques and why theyhave many distinct advantages over the conventional emulsionpolymerization technology
Miniemulsion Polymerization Technology comprises 10papers by many of the world's experts on the subject. It summarizesthe recent advances in miniemulsion polymerization technologyincluding the advances on the selection of surfactants andco-surfactants, the expansion of miniemulsion technology in variouspolymers and co-polymer systems, and the use of miniemulsionpolymerization for the synthesis of advanced polymer particlemorphologies.
There have been a large number of texts on emulsion and otherforms 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 inencapsulation, core shell functional particles, nitroxide mediatedpolymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization or radicaladdition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, to generateadvanced polymer nanoparticles or organic-inorganic compositeparticles
* Examines the wide spectrum of commercial possibilities ofminiemulsion polymerization
* Provides both introductory material as well as deep insightsinto the synthesis of polymer particles
