โฆ Synopsis
Abstraet-A continuous emulsion polymerization of styrene was tried in a Taylor vortex flow reactor which has characteristics of a plug flow reactor. The Taylor vortex flow reactor has the mixing characteristics appropriate for this reaction system. The steady-state conversion, the average molecular weight and the size distribution of latex particles can be controlled by the flow condition as well as by the reaction temperature.
