The stability of vinyl acetate miniemulsions employing polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) as the surfactant, and hexadecane and/or various polymers as the cosurfactant, were studied. Shelf lives (to phase separation) and monomer droplet sizes were measured. The results indicate that it is possible to prepare

## Abstract **Summary:** A series of butyl acrylate/vinyl acetate miniemulsions were investigated. Two procedures were used to prepare the miniemulsions: one in which the monomers were mixed together, sonicated, and polymerized, and the other, in which the individual monomers were sonicated prior t
## Abstract **Summary:** The MADIX/RAFT mechanism, employing a xanthate as the reversible chainβtransfer agent, has been shown to facilitate the living radical polymerization of vinyl acetate in miniemulsion. Methyl (ethoxycarbonothioyl)sulfanyl acetate (MESA) successfully mediated the polymerizati
