## 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^ nm in di
The addition of a monomer soluble polymer to an emulsion was found to slow the effects of Ostwald ripening and impart diffusional stability to the droplets. Droplet nucleation was found to be the dominant nucleation mechanism in the polymerization of these polymerstabilized miniemulsions (as disting
