In emulsion
polymerization, a dispersion of polymer in aqueous phase (latex) is obtained.
The solids content is usually between 40-65 %w. These polymers are broadly used
in paints, adhesives, rubbers, binders and additives for the paper and textile
industry. The development of reliable mathematical models for emulsion
polymerization requires a high level of understanding of the phenomena taking
place in the reactor. In this article, we offer a brief...
