Chemistry and Technology of Emulsion Polymerisation2e provides a practical and intuitive explanation ofemulsion polymerization, in combination with both conventional andcontrolled radical polymerization. For those working in industry, coupling theory with everyday practice can be difficult. Bycarefully explaining the principles of the reaction, based onwell-designed experimental investigation, the book explains how theprinciples relate to practical application.
The second edition of this book includes a new chapter onmorphology of latex particles, a rapidly progressing area wheremodelling the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of phase separationand morphology has developed into a mature and powerful tool topredict and control morphology of latex particles.
Another area that is rapidly progressing is theapplication of controlled radical polymerisation in emulsionpolymerization. Controlled radical polymerisation is used in aidingencapsulation of inorganic particles like pigment particles andclay platelets. These latest developments are included in thesecond edition.
