Basics of Batch Emulsion Polymerization

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...
