Abstract
A quasi‐spontaneous process of mass transfer takes place at the interface of a monomer and water in the presence of surface‐active substances soluble in both phases as a result of their diffusion through the interfacial boundary. This process is accompanied by the formation of a microemulsion whose particle size depends on the emulsifier concentration and its molecular structure. While investigating various nonionic surface‐active substances as emulsifiers in the emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, it was established that polymerization occurs in droplets of the monomer microemulsion in water, which are formed as a result of mass transfer at the interface.
