## Abstract The impacts of nanoclays on the miniemulsion polymerization kinetics of styrene were studied. It was found that both __R__~P~ and the fractional conversion decreased upon increasing the organoclay content in the miniemulsion system. In the presence of nanoclay the molecular weight of po

## Abstract Styrene miniemulsion polymerizations stabilized by sodium lauryl sulfate in combination with a reactive costabilizer, lauryl methacrylate (LMA) or stearyl methacrylate (SMA), were studied. A small amount of extremely hydrophobic dye was incorporated into monomer droplets (10^2^โnm in di
The Mettler RC1 calorimeter was used to measure the rate of polymerization of conventional emulsion, homogenized emulsion, and miniemulsion polymerizations of styrene initiated with 2,2ะ-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile). It was noted that the rate of polymerization significantly increased as the surfac
