## Abstract A mathematical model is developed from polymer solution thermodynamics and stable free radical polymerization kinetics to predict the monomer swelling behavior of large droplets and small particles that coexist during the seeded polymerization of styrene in emulsion. This model is used

## Abstract The elevated temperatures required for the stable freeβradical polymerization (SFRP) process lead to thermal initiation of styrene via the classic Mayo mechanism. Studies have shown the utility of styrene thermal initiation in controlled autopolymerization processes. In addition, the th
The batch emulsion polymerization of styrene was studied as a function of the initial monomer charge. The emulsifier (sodium lauryl sulfate) concentration was fixed at a level in excess of its critical micelle concentration (cmc). The mechanism of the polymerization was examined through data obtaine
A detailed mathematical model of the kinetics of styrene emulsion polymerization has been proposed. Its main features/assumptions are compartmentalization, micellar and homogeneous nucleation, particle formation by both initiator-derived and desorbed radicals, dependence on the particle size of the
The results of a detailed mathematical model developed in part I of this series (J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 2000, 38, 2201) are discussed and compared against experimental data. The model results, which were obtained without the coagulation of the particles being taken into account, are congruent wit
