Spherical latexes of submicron diameter containing a model hydrophobic herbicide, namely, 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-propionic acid, were prepared by the concentrated emulsion polymerization method. A mixture of styrene, herbicide, and initiator was dispersed into a small amount of water (6% by volume

Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) particles are widely used as model colloids. Aqucous PS latices are usually prepared by emulsion polymerization. The emulsion polymerization can be performed either with a surfactant or without a surfactant (soap-free or emulsifier-free). The theory of emulsion polymer
Vinyl pivalate (VPi) was polymerized in bulk by ultraviolet-ray initiation at low temperatures using 2,2-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (ADMVN) and 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as photoinitiators. High molecular weight (HMW) poly(vinyl pivalate) (PVPi), having a number-average degree of p
