## Abstract **Summary:** Free radical emulsion polymerization of styrene (S) or butyl acrylate (BA) in the presence of latices of linear polyethylene (PE) prepared by catalytic emulsion polymerization affords colloidally stable multiphase latices. Coagulation of a PE/PS latex affords nanocomposites

Recent advances in the understanding and application of living/controlled radical polymerizations (L/CRP) to aqueous dispersions, including miniemulsion, emulsion, and suspension, are reviewed. The advantages of aqueous dispersions for commercializing L/CRP systems provide a powerful incentive for a
## Abstract Nanoparticles consisting of a photoreactive polymer able to radically switch its hydrophobicity are successfully prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. Irradiation with UV light causes degradation of the particles whereat complete dissolution is achieved by changing the initial hydrop
