## Abstract Polystyrene latexes have been synthesized by a method based on that Kotera et al.^4^ The polymerization rates and yields have been improved by the addition of an alcohol (methanol) to the reactants. The effects of varying the methanol content and other process variables on the polymeriz
The interfacial tension of the water-(PVA)/styrene system was measured as a function of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) concentration and temperature. Average size and particle-size distribution were obtained for a suspension of styrene in water using PVA as a stabilizer. We discuss the interfacial te
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
